Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final

Can’t wait to see Conway get to show his worth at Test level. Hopefully he takes this opportunity with both hands, arguably the best batsmen in NZ atm with Williamson out of form lately.
What a ridiculous call. How is KW out of form exactly ? Have you seen how he did last summer ? Is he still not the highest ranked test batsman in the world ?
I think I’d also mention the rest of the top six before bestowing this sort of hyperbole on a guy who has never played test cricket.
Still completely unproven at that level.
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.

I can never talk up our team. Too many scars. I wince with you fluffybunnies talking like Aussies...

Weather should be good for all five days:

Forgive my ignorance, but is this a best of 3 series?
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

@mn5 yeah, no boult. We're batting. Saner and cdgh in
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.

@siam said in Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final:
@mn5 i didn't, why?
Taking a break after the IPL but he’ll be back for the final and boot one of Santner/CDGH out I’d imagine.
