@crucial said in Black Caps vs Windies Test Series:
My question would be 'Do the other players have a problem with him that affects the play of the team?'
Hesson has issues with him - who knows which of the senior players (if any now) have issues with him and if they do most of them can deal with them during their time off on the couch.
Hadlee was a prick and hated by many including the captain there has to at some point be a will to actually pick the best team available and make it work. Ryder has been fine in almost every other environment (including county, franchise and domestic cricket) aside from the NZ one - maybe he isn't the issue?

Does Ryder want to play?

Pretty sure it’s 90% Ryder, he clearly struggles with the expectation and pressure associated with international cricket. Where as he can remain under the radar when playing at a domestic level. Apart from the odd news story when he does well he’s largely left alone.
It’s a shame as he’s clearly one of the most talented cricketers we have produced,. 10 years of 3-4-5 with him Kane, and Roscoe would have been superb

I think booboo hit the nail on the head.
Jesse isn't playing for nz because of Jesse. Obviously he isn't willing to adapt his attitude or behaviour to play for the blackcaps.
Given his talent and the cricket life he's had I reckon good on him for living his life his way - he must've decided the shit wasn't worth the glamour.
Hits a fucking great ball from off stump over mid wicket! one of the best I've seen

A batting line up of KW/Rossco/fatboy sure woulda been nice.....sigh.
We would have been opening with Guptill and McCullum for most of that time too.
Not in tests they wouldn't..
Would've made the odi batting line up interesting though

BTW, where's the latest Chris Gayle scandal story? He's been in the country for days already.
Slim pickings in Whangarei?

So Dougie will start tomorrow. He'll probably have to bowl his full 10 overs unless they use Munro or Worker for a few overs.
-
So - if you assume they're going with our strongest team - aside from the obvious clues....
Worker
Munro
Williamson
Taylor
Latham
Nicholls
Bracewell
Astle
Milne
Southee
BoultNot playing:
Henry
Ferguson
de GrandhommePossible that one of Ferguson or Henry could play instead of Milne (or Astle) in a "strongest" team, but I doubt it.
