Black Caps v Pakistan

Groan. That wont help Henry reduce his 4th position average of 116.
Small samples. But we basically have a 5 man seam attack with one guy averaging 116 and another 96 in their roles.
Wagner is irreplaceable.
CDG is appreciated , but IMO is still under appreciated
Santner is under appreciated. -

@Rapido There was criticism of Mitch on here that he wasn't even keeping one end tight in that 2nd innings. I say this as a fan of his, but more in white ball cricket.
As to Henry, plenty of us questioned his selection when he was only going to be the 2nd change bowler. It would be interesting to see if his test figures as an opening bowler are that much better.
A bit, his worst position is 4th (second change) and his best is 1st position. Columns below are Average, Economy Rate, Strike Rate.
1st position: 37.28 3.30 67.7
2nd position: 43.90 2.66 98.7
3rd position: 57.00 3.89 87.7
4th position: 116.50 3.69 189.0That's the same in the ODIs. We used him well in the last CWC by opening with him and bowling him out ASAP. He's a liability with an older ball.

Interesting in the Aus India tests they were talking about the importance of weight balance fielding at slips and falling backwards is a sign of your weight not being correct. Rossco falls backwards there.
I think that goober was age, not technique. Seems like he drops a few these days

@No-Quarter 300 would be z6 really good score I think. It should be better batting tomorrow though, if we can run though the tail

Liked Sumo's comment that Shan has competition for the craziest review of the day.
That comment is also on Cricinfo...
I guess he thought it might have been bump ball.
Or perhaps he hit the ground and didn't think he got an edge. In that case the ball going to first slip should have been a clue.

He hit the ground simultaneously.
Do we not use hot spot any more?

Seems not. Is it not mandatory and Spark don't have rights or something?
