While we’re ( harshly or otherwise ) picking on individuals.
Tom Lathams average vs Australia is 26. This doesn’t really fill me with a huge amount of confidence.
Almost all our batsmen bar Mitch Jr, Kane and Ravindra are in some sort of dip in form right now. Hopefully we can rise to the occasion, I expect us to get pumped
He’s got past 50 ( well, 29 to be exact ) in test cricket once in 10 innings. Granted once he passed it he passed it and then fucken some……but I don’t think he has enough runs on the board ( yes that was intended ) to class him as being “in form”.
Sounds like you don't know what "in form" means. But I know you actually do. Which makes your post very strange.
Five tests to gauge……10 innings.
One incredible score in those 10 innings, the rest are sub par for a specialist batsman. That incredible score was against a limited team. He then got 29 and 20 against that team next time round.
For such a small sample size this isn’t “in form” in the slightest.

He's talking form,not looking at the stats of his historical test career for which are majority too old to be relevant to form.

OK, cheers for clearing that up.
240, 12, 29 and 20 is still a bit inconsistent for my liking. Let’s see how he goes against Oz huh ?

It's gonna be a huge litmus test

So what are we thinking the side look like tomorrow
1.Latham
2.Young
3.Williamson
4.Ravindra
5.Mitchell
6.Nicholls/Phillips
7.Blundell
8.Santner
9.Henry

10.Southee
11.O'RourkeThis appears to be wrong according to whats been spotted at the nets and the way Southee has talked (praising the spin options of Ravindra and Phillips) Santner was seen doing throw downs to Kuggeleijn.
So now its likely to be..
1.Latham
2.Young
3.Williamson
4.Ravindra
5.Mitchell
6.Phillips
7.Blundell
8.Kuggeleijn

11.O'RourkeHe probably won’t bat that high……in any case, this is pretty shit. I’d rather they reached out to Doug Bracewell than him.
Then again I’d rather they picked Santner than both of them…..and given my past criticisms of him this is quite the statement.
Not quite sure Phillips/Ravindra are quite Lyon standards despite showing signs of being pretty handy.

Yuck, he's going to get clobbered. I've never rated Kuggeleijn.

It's very overcast and cold here in Welly today. The fans at the Basin better take blankets for atleast the morning session. Definitely need to bowl if we win the toss.
