Initial thoughts on a third test team:
- Latham
- Young
- Williamson
- Conway
- Nicholls
- Mitchell
- Blundell
- Henry
- Wagner
- Patel
- Boult
With a bowling plan to just bowl Wags at one end all day, and for the Captain to actually use Mitchell as a fifth bowler if needed. Not sure if Bracewell will be well in time, but for now his spin looks more like a fifth bowling option. Wonder if we get Ravindra back into the squad...
Plan B is Bracewell or Ravindra at 7, Mitchell and Blundell move up one, and Nicholls carries the drinks.
What are the odds that Stead manages to come up with something like:
- Latham
- Young
- Williamson
- Conway
- Mitchell
- Blundell
- Bracewell
- Henry
- Southee
- Patel
- Boult
..........
Since when did Henry suddenly jump Wags in the pecking order? FFS it is time to get rid of Stead, he has lost the plot

The Durham fans are keen to keep Ravindra:
It would be good experience for him

I know it's based on time away, but it still feels slightly curious to see Williamson rested, given he's batted for about an hour at most for the Black Caps since last November.

That feels very light in the bowling department...

Indeed, Johns son and Johns nephew as 4th and 5th options don’t fill me with ANY confidence in this department

I've gone from a complete coverage blackout to 'trying to load but not quite' on the iPad
-
@Donsteppa hope we not down to Mitchell and Blundell again before you get coverage. Better be quick...

Finally up and running on the iPad. It won't cast, but at least there is video now

It won't cast for me either, loads for a bit then goes back to the splash screen

A poor shot and an even worse review from Will Young.
Didn't take long for our openers to get really shit
