@NTA you're a bit grumpy today, early start on the cans?
Headache. Stitches in my back are infected. Smoke back in Sydney today. Got the the shits with life in general.
Nothing a 350 run win tonight won't cure...

Who would be the next option to open if Raval is dropped?
Foster?

Tom Blundell is the only other batsman in the squad - but, they might push Nicholls up to open.
I'm not sure they should drop Jeet - not so much because I think he'll come right - but, because we might fuck up someone who will otherwise prove useful.
One of my theories is that we should pretty much ignore results against Australia when it comes to selecting the Black Caps, because over the years they've got rid of some decent NZ players who've been replaced by lesser players for easier series.

I wonder if Blundell can open... am resisting saying Watling should move up the order, but it may be worth some thought if Raval’s form continues...
BJ would be the other option to open (assuming that they wouldn't just decide to start with Kane). In which case, Blundell could take the gloves - at least some of the time.
Seems like a long time since BJ's been an opening batsman though.

When we needed Greatbatch, Kane gives us a BMac esque innings
That's a bit unfair. He put away the bad balls, and got absolutely smoked by a ripper from Lyon.

yeh that was stunning from Lyon. Warne-like in regards to that ball he bowled to Gatting. Just hit the rough and took off on Williamson.
