Well here is an awful interview to watch.
I enjoyed the question about which batsman from the past he would most like to bat with. He briefly forgets it's an interview for an Indian audience and let's Ponting slip, before quickly correcting himself with Sachin Tendulkar.
He did manage to say Sachin was his favourite Cricketer earlier, which will have made all happy. The one word answer was good...
He did controversially not include Sachin in the discussion for best beard though which will have no doubt unleashed 50,000 angry tweets his way.

Apparently Henry tore the house down in county cricket. 70 odd wickets at 12 or something.
Need Gollum to jeets him.
Be nice to see him bowling well consistently
I miss gollum. Mods, is he banned for life?

Watching and still trying to work out what changed from the first 4-5 overs when it was easy going. Latham got a decent nut, as did kane. But Raval and Nichols, ffs! Loose as!
-
Agh! Fucking runouts. These two need to put on a decent stand.

CdG is unfortunately turning into the (test cricket) waste of space I feared he might be two years ago, we just had a good run out of him for a while.
Longest NZ tail I can remember when even #7 has turned into a walking wicket in test cricket.
-
I remember when Patel got bulldozed out to square leg by the South African Quicks as a genuine tailender and people were calling for him nevcer to play test cricket again for lack of bottle, but to me CDG is actually a more heinous example - he's selected as a recognised batsman, and must be able to adapt his game to account for situation and pitch - the fact he has demonstrated he canbnot do so and if anything it's wilfully refuses to do so should make him exempt from all future selection at test level.

This season has raised a few flags for me - the continued demands on watling to provide quick runs from ball one when he requires some time to settle in and someone like southeee is better suited to be placed above him in the order in such situations...the reliance on a guy who can't bowl or bat in test circumstances in CDG except againts mediocre opposition.
The paucity of actual tests. so mad. -

It's ok Southee is in. He's always good to settle things down.
In some ways a good position for him, low expectations if it goes wrong, but a good chance for quick runs (more likely) or to build an innings (less likely, but fingers crossed).
