How is Young not even in the squad? He's better than Nicholls and Allen.
He hasn’t convinced at test level yet but has started his ODI career with a hiss and a roar.
Very weird.
Been a naughty boy ?
Bad influences like Jesse Ryder and Doug Bracewell aren’t there to lead him astray though.
There is a couple of real interesting characters to say the least.

Allen is a work in progress and needs to be persisted with. He was looking good before being undone in one over.
Agreed, and I feel like he hasn't had the luxury of playing many International matches on home turf. There isn't anyone more explosive in NZ than Allen IMO. I do agree that Young is better than Nicholls though.
I like Allen he just needs to change gears from 20/20s to ODI and he will be very good.
Hits the ball clean good hand eye and fast hands -
Will Young is technically a superb batsman, he doesn't have obvious technical flaws like Allen, Nicholls, etc..
He has scored against top bowlers, century in Australia before 2019 CWC, he averages over 40 in ODI's, his omission just reeks of Stead incompetence.

Yeah he does have a technique flaw he gets knicked off a fair bit due to his front foot placement and he loses his off stump sometimes as he doesn't know where it is.
And I don't mean getting bowled off stump just losing where it is which exposes him to a 4th 5th line knick off. -

Yes his ODI matches are 2 v Bangladesh,3 V Netherlands,3 v Ireland not a lot to gauge him on as far as One Day international cricket as yet.

Fantastic display from our two superstars Bracewell and Santner. Nodded off watching Allen and Nicholls. So what a comeback. Really negative bowling by Thakur too. Congrats on the 100 Bracewell. Very memorable.

We are in trouble then if that is the superstar class we have.

Indian cricketers take a lot of shit for being dickheads, but to a man, they shook Bracewells hand at the end full of smiles and respect for what he almost did.
The players are fine, it’s the fans that are the dickheads
The fans are passionate about the sport like nothing else. Yes, they are one eyed as all hell, but that hardly makes them unique.
It's the administrators that I can't stand. They are one end of the spectrum on Chris' comments & behave exactly like that. It's pretty much so India's way or the highway.
Anyway, point wasn't to start a debate about India. More that it was really nice to see such genuine sportsmanship and appreciation from a bunch of players who aren't exactly noted for it.

Just showing my appreciation to average out the comments about the two of them on the fern. Actually I wondered if anyone would notice if someone said anything good about them.... Don't get that chance all that often...

India chose to bowl
India
1 Rohit Sharma (capt.), 2 Shubman Gill, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Ishan Kishan (wk), 5 Suryakumar Yadav, 6 Hardik Pandya, 7 Washington Sundar, 8 Shardul Thakur, 9 Kuldeep Yadav, 10 Mohammed Shami, 11 Mohammed Siraj
New Zealand
1 Finn Allen, 2 Devon Conway, 3 Henry Nicholls, 4 Daryl Mitchell, 5 Tom Latham (capt. & wk), 6 Glenn Phillips, 7 Michael Bracewell, 8 Mitchell Santner, 9 Henry Shipley, 10 Blair Tickner, 11 Lockie Ferguson
I didn’t see the first over but Allen is out already
-
They are giving Shami a lot of credit for the ball that came back in, but given Allen tried to put it over the leg side I think he picked it OK, just clean missed it and was a little unlucly to be bowled off a deflection from his pad.
-
Quite a bit of movement early on, probably a good toss to win for India
-
A tough watch so far lol
