Could be chasing 400 at this rate
Might not be getting betting tips off you anytime soon.

Fair, although was a fast start, but over within a few seconds.., sound familiar

Poorly selected team.
Blundel,Smith,Bracewell not test players Young needs to get out of the bad habits he taken up again or he will not score many runs.Conway I like as a player but he has some technical problems that will find him out at this level.
Put this team out against a better test team and we are going to struggle. -
@Cyclops said in West Indies tour of NZ:
Pretty conservative selection.
Starting XI something like:
Latham
Conway
Williamson
Ravindra
Mitchell (Young if not fit)
Blundell
Santner
Smith
Foulkes
Henry
Duffyyeah i think that looks about right
We are blessed/lucky to have some pretty good depth bowling wiseJamieson bowled 26 overs during the ODI series, feels like they are being over cautious or know something they havent let on. Why not just give him a test and manage his work load?
-
Inherently I don’t mind Jamieson being managed, but I feel like if this was going to be the case he’d have been better served playing the Ford Trophy and first two rounds of the Plunket Shield for Canterbury to get him ready as opposed to playing the T20s and ODIs

Jury out on Smith.
Bracewell most definitely isn't especially as Santner is there.
Bowling attack looks a bit pop gun without Jamieson and O'Rourke but I don't think the Windies will exploit this too much.

@Chris might be able to answer this, but how does Foulkes go in the longer version? I didn't realise he was in the frame. Does he have the stamina to be the stock bowler? Does he still get swing with the older ball? Does he keep his pace or does he drop down to early 120's?

He goes ok he has in 4 day cricket he can get reverse swing with the older ball yeah he will drop pace and will use change of pace and variations when the ball gets older.
depending on how many overs he is required to bowl. -

Blundell has been guilty of losing concentration in the longer form his batting could be anything shit or good.
he is not consistent enough for me to hold down a test spot. -

@Chris know much about Cam Paul? I see him and Muhammed Abbas have staged a nice recovery here vs the Windies and that Paul already has 2 5fers in 4 FC games for Canterbury. One to watch?
Yeah he is a decent young allrounder bowls mid 130s and is a good bat.
just 20 years old a country boy originally out of Darfield highly rated one to watch a genuine allrounder.
I rate him highly.
