Black Caps vs Proteas 2022

@chris-b Tickner seems to have a bit of fire in his belly, which I like. From memory he got a bit of tap in the T20s he’s played for the BCs, who knows, he might ne more suited to the longer game?
️What happened to the fast bowler from Otago, who ripped up on his T20 debut. Is he a test prospect?

Jacob Duffy? I think he has played FC for NZA but his FC stats don't look too flash:

Not quite the squad I was expecting, but an interesting one. Perhaps:
- Young
- Latham (c)
- Conway
- Nicholls
- Mitchell
- Blundell
- Ravindra
- de Grandhomme
- Jamieson
- Southee
- Wagner
... with 5, 6, 7, & 8 probably in any random order, depending on the state of the game?
On paper that is a short tail, and has six bowling options, but is also a 5 - 8 that could vanish quickly with the bat, depending on their collective day.

So where is Boult (don't expect me to read stuff), and who the fuck is Fletcher?

Boult's missus is expecting their third child.
Fletcher is the Canterbury keeper.@gunner said in Black Caps vs Proteas 2022:

Makes a degree of sense.

Interesting to see Kens son come back from the wilderness !
It's at least theoretically possible that in a couple of years time in a T20 or ODI v an Associate Member Nation there could be a Black Caps side including sons of Latham, Rutherford, B Bracewell, Cumming, Kuggeleijn, and Pringle.

For a further local cricket tangent, an interesting name appears twice here in the Baywide Cup (T20):

Stead confirmed last night that Nicholls will move up to 4 and Mitchell will bat at 5. If Henry replaces Boult then it is CdG vs Ravindra for the 7 spot.

What's up with Boult? That will be a choice to make. Apart from saving the first test in India I'd suggest Ravindra hasn't exactly ripped up trees. Considering his record in NZ conditions, despite his poor performance of late, I'd probably pick Colin

Boult comes across as really bloody soft, we all remember him staying back in NZ saying he missed his family, then going over to England later on to join up with the squad, ffs ! all the other players would've missed their families too, but they were there for the whole tour.

Yeah, Ravindra has done stuff all, Colin would have to start over him... also with Williamson missing we need as much experience as we can get in our batting against a team like South Africa.
Hope Matt Henry isn't picked in the 11, why does this bloke continued to get selected in test squads ? ...he doesn't swing it, doesn't use a slower ball or use the width of the crease, he totally relies on a seaming wicket, his bowling average is very poor, 46.

@nzbloke he did well somewhere recently for us? But I agree, I'm not a fan
Reckon he'll be a good player in the future, but isn't up to it at this stage.

I was talking about Henry. Yes to Ravindra, deserves nurturing. That innings in India took some guts
