Ravindra has a way to go yet, he hasn't kicked on as much as I hoped he would by now. He still has a strong tendency to throw his wicket away after getting set - it's a concentration thing - but something he needs to tighten up on in the test arena. He should be averaging closer to 50 IMO.
Hmmmm, current average is still very good, better than most. 50 ( quite rightly ) is what the very best generational players average.
At the moment Ravindra is Ross Taylor level ( and he also had a habit of throwing his wicket away )

Be nice to see Foulkes grab a few runs here.
Young on borrowed time? Just hasn’t grabbed his chances well enough IMO.
Yeah pretty annoying. I was hoping for a cheeky not out at the very least.
Mitchell will walk back in obviously, Young AND Conway aren't exactly being that compelling overall though. One would imagine one of them will struggle to get in.

He’s 33 now, had 22 tests and an average just under 33.
Time to move on from his as the reserve batter.
Theres got to be a young fulla worth bringing in, surely? -

I'd think Mitch Jr is pretty close if he can field at first slip.
Young and Conway both scored 37 in this test. But, it will surely be Young who sits out if Mitch Jr comes back in.
Yeah Conway would be safe based on the need for an opener ( although Young has opened too of course )
both these guys in a very similar predicament, Conway also has the history of getting big scores which Young unfortunately hasn't managed.
With them being a bowler down I wonder if Ravindra or even KW will turn the arm over ? hopefully Henry, Foulkes and Duffy don't make it an issue.....

Happy for Roach, well deserved 5-for

Yep, nice to see some genuine emotion there, he was thrilled.
One of his generations better pace bowlers. 5th on their all time list !
