    @Gunner chance for Jeets to just bat time and hopefully find some form with it

    Raval is a walking wicket either way these days. Shame there's no obvious replacement, as batting with just ten in Australia is less than ideal...

    Jeez, Raval is a waste of space at the moment.

    Although Mr Waste of Space would probably feel pretty hard done by being compared to Raval at the moment.

    If ever there was a scenario tailor made for Jeet. Freedom to bat without any kind of time or run rate pressure.

    This feels like a black caps collapse coming on. If we're as good as we hope we are we should be able to dig in and calmly bat out the test.

    Psychologically scarred (we all are) and justifiably nervous.

    One thing about DRS is that it gives a much better idea of form. No way an in form batsman doesn't instantly review that.

    Do we have a warm up before the Perth test to try and get Raval back into nick?

    Well, I am on board to what the comms are saying. He is so out of form and confidence so shot he can't even tell if he gets a thick inside edge.

    We have to try someone else in Aussie. Take a chance and if it fails it makes no difference.

    Unfortunate thing with Jeet is that he's hardly played this "summer". - at least, not at first class level. Three innings for Auckland and now three for NZ - 48 runs in total. No short form cricket.

    Looking closer - one of Auckland's games was rained out and the other two were low scoring affairs. Hopefully, he's played a bit of club cricket or he's badly underdone for test cricket.

    Raval v Starc/Cummins/Hazlewood is just men against boy type stuff. It'll be a bloodbath.

    Aussie have set us up by going from one pink ball test to another, while NZ has no warm-up game under lights.

    @Bovidae Even if they'd given us a warm up game it would have been at the Coober Pedy Domain on a pitch of rolled opal mine tailings!

    We're probably better off practicing at home rather than at the mercy of those deck stacking w@nkers! 🙂

    @Chris-B I'm sure they will practice at Seddon Park under lights.

    If its any consolation the pink ball hasnt done much in Adelaide and Perth has been a road the last couple of years.. in saying that Jeets up against that lot, is a big ask

    There's only been one test match at new Perth Stadium, and the pitch was a 'shocker' said the batting mafia. Not a road. Cracker of a test match. Paine gutsing it out v Bumrah on a pitch with dodgy bounce.

    No idea what it will do this time though, 2 years young, no history, plus it is a drop-in.

    Bat two days, there is no way you should lose from there. Would take a miracle

    How are you feeling about that now?

    There was a test in NZ quite recently that is starting to look quite similar (unfortunately it is the other way around).

    Looking back, we only batted for four sessions. But that said, I'm pretty relaxed. Draw or England win only two options now.
