I've not been impressed with Henry in the short bits I've seen of him bowl. He seems to struggle with being accurate enough at this level, he may bowl the odd jaffa but he also seems to leak a lot of runs. Interested in the views of others who are actually able to watch a whole day ....
To be fair he’s taken twice as many wickets in this test then all out spinners (whose spot he’s taken) combined all summer. That’s based on 2 x 0 which I guess technically is 0..
Spinners never get to bowl which counts against them a little. I reckon my looping leggies could snaffle a couple of Bangles (after conceding 60 runs in 3 overs of course).

I've really been disappointed in the Bangles, they seem to have gone back to how they were when they first came into test cricket. They miss Shakib al Hasan as he is a class player with both bat and ball.
Quiz question to fill up the remainder of the day - list all of the NZ batsmen to have made a test hundred since the start of 2010. There are 18 in total.
I'll give you Kane, Taylor, Latham, Watling, Nicholls - 13 to go.

Wagner and Boult finish off the Bang Bros
Someone's mixing their porn and sports lexicons together

Someone average like Dean Brownlie or Jamie How probably nabbed a century against a lesser team.

Good call on Brownlie. How didn't play this decade.
By my estimation you have 17 of 18 - good work. Who can name the 18th first?
-
Taylor MoM but I reckon Wagner woulda been a shout if he got a michelle in the first innings.
I know you're only as good as who's in front of you in one sense but still a terrific effort to smash the absolute living shit out of them in such a short period of time.

Tim Macintosh?
That sounds like a made-up name from Brian Lara Cricket on the Sega Megadrive.....

Next question - this will see us through to close of play
Name an NZ Test XI of the players with the highest batting average in each position in the batting order. Min requirements - 10 games in that batting position (according to what StatsGuru says).
You must name all 11. The person who gets the most players in the correct position (correct player in incorrect position does not count) wins - getting all 11 is very tough without cheating. (2 openers can be named in either order)
Go!
