Farkin hell, looks like we might be on the right side of the ledger for once!! Finn Allen the key, a huge innings set the bar. Jamieson, Sodhi also bowling well. Question - Why didnt we have this approach in the first two matches?
Glenn Phillips also chipping in with a handy 69.

Except for the 2nd and 3rd games were the team who batted first won
This is probably why I'm always the reserve scorer or umpire. Mere details...

Mitchell is quite the phenomenon. His first class record was decent but didn't really suggest that he was going to dominate at international level like he has. I never really saw him play before his black caps debut, did anyone see him playing before that and see signs of what was to come?
While Kane is out injured he has a decent claim to being our best bat. I keep expecting him to turn back into a pumpkin but he just keeps performing.

And to think he wouldn't have even got a run if Nicholls hadn't got hurt

Either him or Devon Conway who I reckon just oozes class ( although I will concede Johns son early test record is even better )
With them and KW still going perhaps the glory years haven’t quite gone just yet although both are the wrong side of 30 ( along with our three main seamers )

Conway was at least tearing it up domestically. I was hopeful that he would be a top quality test batsman. My expectations of Mitchell were that he'd be a de Grandhomme level player - a reliable lower order bat and useful bowling option.
Is a 50 average so far enough for you ?

That's not mean as a criticism of Conway! My point is more than Conway was selected off the back of an incredible run of domestic form so I wasn't surprised by his success. Whereas Mitchell came in with a domestic record that suggested he'd be a useful contributor but probably not much more. But instead he's blossomed. Those two plus Kane and Latham are essentially the heart of our batting lineup now.
