Really pleased to see Santner given a chance. He showed some lovely flight in his bowling at the ODI World Cup that showed potential for more than just an economical/holding bowler in tests. Add in his batting and fielding too.
Ah yeah steady on. Everyone who plays cricket bats and fields at some stage. Not really a point of difference.
Santner has a test century to his name and is an outstanding fielder, whereas Sodhi - for example - is an adequate lower order batter and an absolute liability in the field.
Are you trying to be funny or deliberately obtuse? Or both?
Is any modern cricketer really a “liability” in the field ?
If any modern cricketer is, it's Sodhi. Drops more than his fair share of catches and moves like a carthorse no matter how they try to hide him.
I’m not sure he’s played enough or maybe I haven’t noticed. There doesn’t seem to be too many Phil Tufnells around these days.
It’s a pretty sad day on the fern when I’m talking up Sodhi though. Whoever gets the spinner spot in the team is subject to lots of criticism.

@MN5 Santner would be in the conversation as the best fielder in the team. Sodhi would be the worst. It's a substantial difference.
How bout the wickets per test ratio ?
( in saying that Santner is going good so far )

As I said Santner bowled with real flight and guile in the recent World Cup which showed enough to suggest he might yet have something offer in test cricket with the ball.

172 all out.
Southee gets the last wicket, to end with figures of 1/0 from 5.2.
I wonder what is the record for number of overs bowled in an innings without conceding a run?
