    These two really need to go big for us to get back into this test match. Arguably our two best batsmen need to convert in what’s pretty good conditions atm.

    Brainless.

    Whatever they've done since the end of the Indian series, it hasn't been cricket.

    Why would you play a shot like that in the position we are atm. Ravindra has a lot of growing to do.

    Conway must move over for Young in the next test right?
    Just open with Williamson, he’s in so early anyway, I don’t think it will make much difference.

    Was just thinking if Conway failed again in the second innings I’d pick Young. I reckon win, lose of draw that’s what Stead will do.

    There was a telling stat earlier about Conway averaging 55+ in his first 12 tests, and something like mid 20's in his 14 most recent tests. Young isn't a perfect replacement, but is doing a lot better than Conway lately.

    @MN5 Stead is so conservative though, so who knows?

    And reviewing it when he edged it also says a bit too...

    Honestly the reason we are getting smacked is the number of dropped catches, there's not much point reading into anything else. We can't drop more catches than my social club side has ever done in a single innings and expect to be in the game at all. Between now and the 2nd test Stead should have them all in the field 8 hours a day practicing. He also needs to check a few bank accounts because it was beyond ridiculous.

    @Donsteppa I think in cricket like Rugby there has to be a proportion of selections that are on form.
    Form temporary/class permanent doesn’t always cut it.

    Blundell, Latham and Conway's averages have been declining rapidly for awhile. Time for changes

    Drop Blundell, make Conway keep wicket and bat in the middle order to try and rebuild his confidence. Young slots in to open. Latham is captain so he's just gonna have to do better. Simples
