Nice to see big Daryl Mitchell sneak into the bowlers limo trip up Mt Vic with his teundlers.
Wondered if any bowlers in this team had been in the limo previously.
Seems Mitch is one (looks like twice before). The other is Tickner (once). Unless I've missed anyone.

What’s the cut off for attending ? If Mitch qualifies surely the whole team does.
If you bowl during the game you go up is my understand.
Keeper gets an invite i heard

Kristian Clarke the next man up if Jamieson not ready to go. Dunno who they call into the squad next if Jamieson isn't available - a quick look at this season's plunket shield has Josh Clarkson as the top seamer through the first couple of rounds, but based on what I've seen of his bowling he's probably a bit too much of a dibbly-dobbler to be effective in tests.
Sounds like they may go with an extra spin option for the next test at Bay Oval. Ajaz Patel has been mentioned.

It will be a rare opportunity outside of the subcontinent for Ajaz

Rhys Mariu just scored another hundred opening the batting for Canterbury.
> Pressure is mounting on Conway & the selectors surely.He did well in the last test and they’re loyal. Perhaps Young’s spot in the squad may be under threat but Conway should be ok for now.
Mariu has a brilliant record but still just 22 FC matches ( mind you other countries have picked guys off of the equivalent of that )

Blundell being put back in is a shit decision his keeping is now below standard he is 35 now getting g old for a WK
Hay is much better with the gloves and bats just as well and the potential to be better.Is Razor advising selection for the BCs in the offseason?

Seems like Duffy is being rested for the third test. Someone has spotted him running errands back in Dunedin

@booboo Can’t see with the what seemed like 100s of chances Nicholls got
Yeah don’t get that Nicholls has 9 test 100s one being a double,more than Conway and Mitchell
Young has 0 100s
I think I see the better player on results. -

I think I see the better player on results.Come on now, he has 10 test centuries haha, but yeah, the guy has certainly overachieved in his career. Didn't think he'd last as long as he has/did when I first saw him at international level.

It's official, Blundell and Ajaz in. Duffy remains in the squad and Jamieson not called up. Kristian Clarke the 4th seamer.
The decision of Jamieson has to sit with the medical/conditioning team but Blundell's recall is gutless. I'm not even sure Blundell is our second keeper with Max Chu improving rapidly for Otago.
I believe this would be a 4th home test for Ajaz who is yet to take a home wicket.
At the time we hired Walter I thought Shane Bond was the better option and nothing he's done so far has convinced me otherwise.

Yeah i really dont get why they dont pick Jamieson. We have the Windies number its not like he would be facing 5 days of tough cricket.
If he can bowl nearly 30 overs in a domestic game why cant he bowl in a test?understand why they went back to Blundell, im sure its only a matter of time before Hay takes his spot anyway.

The Windies have been here awhile and will already have one foot on the plane home. Not playing Jamieson for some easy wickets ( like you say, this one won’t go five days ) is ridiculous.
Hay couldn’t have done more either really.
The Nicholls one is a bit weird, obviously there is the view that he is a home track bully but he'd be playing at home against a limited team. Seems odd he's not there. Young continually blows chances to get the big score he needs to stamp his mark at this level of the game.
