Black Caps v England

I see Ravindra scored a 100 not out today.
Chuck him in for Bracewell surely.
Very tempting.
With the current balance of the side, if the spinner is batting 8 I'd very happily pick Ish Sodhi. Will be great if Ravindra can get into some consistent top form as well.

He’s played 18 tests in ten years. He’s a stop gap at best.

He’s also an effective T20 bowler against batting similar to the current England approach

That’s good to know but I don’t think we can draft him into the team on the last day of a test.

Outside of John Bracewell and Dan Vettori, lock-in spin options don't easily leap to mind in Black Caps history (and even then Stephen Boock was on the scene for Braces).
Ish's biggest issue is his consistency (and occasionally fielding), but he could still be good for a few years yet. His batting seems to have kicked on.

I am still super pissed at Bracewell. We had the chance to rack up another 50, and actually create some scoreboard pressure and time. It could have been the miracle - but a moment of inattention and it's goddamn disaster time.
Still cross.
I don’t blame you. If Kane Williamson did that I’d be pissed off. The fact a bits and pieces player like Bracewell did means I’m fucken furious.

Hmmm. Getting nervy from an England point of view.

And that was said at 3 down.

I was looking at Ish's test batting average earlier. 22.78 with 4 x 50. In comparison, Bracewell has a test average of 20.36.
Anyway back to your regular channel...
