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 !

[Siam]

@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.

[Siam]

@mn5 your passion is never in doubt mate👍

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

I switched over and saw who was in ...

... and lost the plot.

Relieved Boulty is playing at least.

[Siam]

These horrendous techniques of the opening bats are ssooo set up to play anything straight through leg ( same as the angry lesbian). Watch for our bowling tactics outside off

[Siam]

@booboo bedtime mate?🙂 quick snooze?

Off to bed (as soon as Ms Boo Jr gets home from work).

[Siam]

@booboo commitment!!👍

[Donsteppa]

Looks like Wags will have a lot of bowling to do today.

[Siam]

@donsteppa harsh don, harsh. Early doors
( this post may not age well...)

[Cyclops]

I am a Henry fan and what the fuck is Stead doing.

[booboo]

Ok. So changes.

Not so bad given Kane & BJ are out.

And don't mind Ajaz over Satnav, nor Cueball Jr over CDGH.

But lack of both Timmah and Kylo is questionable.

For the WTC one of Cueball or Ajaz misses out.

[No Quarter]

This may be a pretty long day at the office. Pitch doesn't look like it's offering much.

Did that Sibley fluffybunny start the day with that unlaundered vest? Twat
