Black Caps in Zimbabwe
-
One of those players where stats and a bit of luck finally swung the way of talent that was always there.

yep hard work pays off and he is a hard worker off the field as well as on.

Nice to win a meaningless T20 series no one will remember 2 weeks from now… but seriously how good is Henry across all 3 formats now
I’ll have forgotten two days from now…
Matt Henry’s improvement across all formats is inspiring stuff. The numbers are excellent across the board.
Still got quite a few years left in the team provided injuries and form don’t become issues for him.
Considering until fairly recently he was pretty much a spare part if Southee/Boult/Wagner broke down he’s done so well to get where he is
Not bad for a one time pie chucker

Southee made a career out of chucking pies from start to finish.Now he is teaching the English bowlers not sure what though.

Breaks an impressive run for Latham too
its the first test he has missed since 2014..
He had played 88 successive tests
The Black Caps record is 101..can you guess who it belongs to? (without cheating!) -

Here’s my XI for this game
Young
Conway
Ravindra
Nicholls
Mitchell
Blundell
Santner
Smith
Henry
Patel
O’RourkeKW not being there leaves a fucken chasm at 3….no Latham fucks the batting order too but in saying that they should put these chumps to the sword 2-0
-
Looking forward to a scratchy 30 from Nicholls
Disappointing Duffy isn't getting a run.
-
Not watching (coz can't) but 24 overs in and we have two spinners on...
-
55/3 acceptable
-
67/4 at lunch. Feel like we're a batter short with Blundell coming in an 6. Probably won't matter.
Henry with 3 of the wickets. Doesn't have a 10fer in his career yet - they're pretty rare for NZ bowlers not called RJ Hadlee. Maybe this test?
I hope Patel gets a run in the second test - he's close to 100 test wickets, none of which have come at home yet.

Possibly a batter short but Blundell has batted six for awhile now ( with poor form of late overall ) and Bracewell, Santner, Smith and Henry are a very strong 7-10 line up. Won’t matter against Zimbabwe like you say.
Chatfield might be out of the top ten but it was always going to happen with other good bowlers coming in.
Magnificent from Henry again.
Pretty predictable scoreline to wake up to, would be nice to see one or both of these guys get a big one.
