Black Caps - Bangladesh tour

I missed the Santner chat earlier. Red ball is one thing, but TSF cliches are underplaying his white ball status with "good-ish". CSK are happy to retain him, which isn't the case for all; https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/cricket/black-caps/301015719/five-black-caps-players-released-by-indian-premier-league-franchises-for-2024

Talking up Santner is not the fern way

Am wondering if Santner is a modern version of a Chris Harris. One of the first picks in a white ball team, just not so much red ball.
We've had many players like that over the years. Gavin Larsen also springs to mind

He did ok in the few tests he played. Like a latter day Ewen Chatfield. Chris Harris’s test figures make for horrific reading.
Andre Adam’s was another. Six wickets in the only test he played is a super effort.
His first class numbers were terrific too, does annoy one remember why he never featured more ?

He often had a knack of fronting in tests. When he wasn't going out with a whimper!

He was the opposite. In an out of the white ball teams for a lot of his career. But was a constant in the test 11 from his debut.

Did very well for a guy whose whole career was a fluke judging from some of the comments on here.

6/41 on debut was crazy though, for a dirty medium pacer.

That's not on Southee - he is always optimistic. The slips and keeper should have heard the bat on that and not reviewed.
Still a bit of shape out there... not sure it'll be there much in this test, so take it while you can!

@Bovidae said in Black Caps - Bangladesh tour:
Bangladesh won the toss and will bat. No Ravindra.
Is Nicholls playing? He will be under significant pressure to perform, with Ravindra ready and waiting
Yes he is more of a choice between Phillips and Ravindra for that allrounders spot.
IMO they should have selected Ravindra ahead of Phillips.
Nicholls on the back of 200 in his last test was always going to get picked.
