    Fair enough, I should have phrased that better, I was referring to recent international matches Conway has been involved in. He stood out and performed better than anyone else, am I not wrong? Was meant to say the most in form player, not the best.

    Obviously you can’t compare him to the test lineup but he looks to have all the tricks in the book to do very well in the longer form of the game.

    Can’t wait to see him work wonders alongside Williamson in years to come.

    Ha the first part of your post was fine, you shoulda just quit after the comma 😉

    I’m just as excited to see what he brings to the table, hoping for great things. I’m possibly a bit worried that he’s being shoehorned to open but then that never did Justin Langer any harm.

    @mn5 haha for sure. Feel for Blundell a little because he’s been fairly solid as an opener but I guess he will jump into Watling’s spot when he hangs up a the gloves.

    Dare I say it NZ cricket has “depth”......

    Young could take a middle order spot once Taylor retires and I’d imagine Nicholls goes to four in the order.

    @mn5 it certainly bodes well for the Black Caps going forward. We also have Ravindra coming through aswell who will be a huge asset when he eventually gets an opportunity. Almost too much talent to choose from, a great headache to have for NZ cricket.

    James Bracey and Ollie Robinson to make their debuts for England. England have picked no specialist spinner which is probably a clue to the type of wicket that's been prepared.

    NZH suggests it's 2. Lord's and Edgbaston. So I don't understand, the final has been moved from Lord's to Southampton, but we are playing the first test at Lord's???

    @voodoo as far as I know, this series was only organised after we got into the final. I think we owe the poms much gratitude for tagging this into their summer which has SL, Pak and India jammed in.
    A fine piece of administration from both countries is how i interpret it.

    Thanks England, India will be rather rusty i think. Nice to get the rub for once

    Yeah I knew he wasn’t in line to play.

    Strong team, possibly a bowler short but that’s probably the best tail we’ve ever fielded.

    @canefan they planned for late IPL returners. Then covid, then opted for the hotel at Southampton ground to isolate players maximally, I think

    Taking a break after the IPL but he’ll be back for the final and boot one of Santner/CDGH out I’d imagine.
