Ish's biggest issue is his consistency (and occasionally fielding), but he could still be good for a few years yet. His batting seems to have kicked on.
I was looking at Ish's test batting average earlier. 22.78 with 4 x 50. In comparison, Bracewell has a test average of 20.36.
Anyway back to your regular channel...
A caveat to that , though. I'm really quite unimpressed with Ish's batting in bouncy or NZ conditions. Including watching him at FC level. But ever since his debut back in Bangladesh about a decade ago, I've been quite impressed with his batting (more accurately, his scoring options) v spin in Asia.

Need to get through this partnership. Anyone got any good reserves jinxes or more bad takes to help the Craps out?
Think we've used up the biggest table turner in the much-berated Bracewell running out their star batter without facing a ball, but there must be other options for us to try.

Bracewell taken out of the attack. I don't love it - if he doesn't come back from the other end, I think it's a weak move. There is turn and bounce; you have to attack.
I thought Southee would be more aggressive ...
Too many 17 run overs and we are out of the game

I know that - but the ball is turning and bouncing. Surely a second over is worth a crack ... if they are agrressive, it creates chances.

Break the partnership and bring him back

We should've played Boult for Young!!!

We just don't quite have enough runs to play with. That collapse is costing us the game - the dodgy Kane caught behind and then the Bracewell moment.
