Debut boys having a pretty good day
follow the fucking script!!!!

our day on the back of a couple of of average players scrounged up from club cricket.
-
Phew, made it through despite @Virgil's best efforts. That's a great recovery from the youngsters. Very well played Raval.
Interview with CDGH is pretty cringe worthy, he's a man of few words that's for sure. Biggest nose since Rutherford and an epic mo, I sense cult hero status before long. He bowled some beauties for most of his wickets too.
-
Great to see Colin succeed. Always loved watching him play for Auckland even though I thought his international days were well behind him.

See it was all fine, debut 100 coming up around lunchtime tomorrow.

Don't rule the pakis out. I remember us being in total control of a test in Hamilton some years back until they ripped us apart for 4/5 of sweet fark all when we had to get about 150 to win

Shit that's worrying, I could have sworn Waqar and Wasim retired years ago.

That blur you see out the window is the mob moving into place in case Raval is out before 100.

I reckon Waqar could still fool a few of our guys with his Larsen speed bowling

Having CdG there smacks of them picking an allrounder just for the sake of having an allrounder.
If they didn't want Neesham, I'd prefer they picked Henry.
BJ moved up to 6, Astle 7, Henry 8, Wagner 9, Southee 10, Boult 11.Still a decent lower order that can probably all pitch in to score any runs we miss out on by not having an allrounder.

Turns out the national cricket selectors know a bit more than me about selecting a cricket team. Well played, ill get back in my box.
Bloody pleased for both the newbies to have performed so well.
Colin was more animated than bloody Wal Footrot in that interview wasn't he? -
I know he scored some run but how did Raval look? Technically sound or is he another NZ batter with obvious issues?

Raval looked alright actually. Proper opener.
Good leave - including leaving based only on length, big step forward, new his scoring areas (straight drive, pull, clip).
I only watched his first hour, but only had about 3 mistakes in that time (loss of concentration to play defensively and miss a widish out swinger he should have left, thick outside edge for 4, and a closish but missing lbw non-shout)
So no obvious weaknesses exposed yet.

Great article on Cricinfo about Wagner. Well worth a read.
