Too many negative nellies 😁
We're not England for fucks sake, hiding behind the apron strings of societal acceptance!😂
I'd rather hide behind Kyle Jamieson's bowling than Matt Henry's though...
(Anything to jinx Henry onto the Edgbaston honours list)

@donsteppa good jinx. Long game at play here mate, the first XI will be champing at the bit come Southampton time. A decade of professional cricket, training and playing more games every year than ever and you don't blame match practice for failing.
The boys left out ain't novices trying to find their game. Sound good?🙂
If not, Graham Henry's 3rd game in a row downturn...😉

No Jamieson or Southee winds me up considerably. I don’t think we have THAT much depth to change the team this much.
Complete madness. It’s not like they’ve had a heap of cricket lately.
It’s still a test match for fucks sake. Show some respect Stead. Henry is such a step down in comparison
How sure are you that Kane doesn't have the final say in the team selections?

England are batting
Here’s our team….. New Zealand: 1 Tom Latham (captain), 2 Devon Conway, 3 Will Young, 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Henry Nicholls, 6 Tom Blundell (wk), 7 Daryl Mitchell, 8 Neil Wagner, 9 Matt Henry, 10 Ajaz Patel, 11 Trent Boult

That is a pretty weak bowling attack

Never in my lifetime have I seen 5 changes outside our pretty much first XI and thought " not too bad, that'll do". Let alone been slightly excited at the chance for a second string spinner, keeper and emerging all rounder.
Strange times, in a good way.
Rossco, I know you've done a lot for NZ cricket and you're down the list on my preferred to quaff beers with, truth is I find you a little strange, but I wish you all the best in leading our batting in Birmingham. I'd delight in your foibles being a reflection of mine and will be forever impressed if you turn on a big one in the rehearsal for our biggest one ever. God's speed to you, you champion.
C'mon boys! We see what you guys are trying to build and how you've embraced all personnel and fostered a real sense of belonging and responsibility on all squad members. It's purely and wholly the right way forward - true progress, if you will.
A living, breathing example of unity and inclusion
Kia kaha boys - give it heaps and let the chips fall where they may!
Love youse all🙂
He’s about to get a whole lot of chances after the final though !
I admire the optimism, hopefully you’re right !

I wouldn’t quite go that far……”depleted” is a better word.

@mn5 yes,that's why he's second string...do try to keep up mate😉
Yeah sorry, I just saw who was missing and started frothing at the mouth a bit to be fair.
I switched over and saw who was in ...
... and lost the plot.
Relieved Boulty is playing at least.
