Black Caps v Pakistan

Overall runs for ODIs suggest people better later in the careers in general from that list

Neither Crowe, Taylor or Williamson had amazing starts to their Test careers either.
After 10 tests Crowe only averaged 20.68, (after 24 tests he still only averaged 34.23)
After 18 tests Williamson only averaged 32.71
After 14 tests Taylor only averaged 34.48if any of them were English they probably wouldnt have played any more then they did.

Mitchell has been awesome, but has also benefitted from the Adam Voges type selection in that he was older when he first made the team, so knew his own game inside out and had already ironed out a lot of issues with his technique etc. Kane, Rosco and Crowe all had to learn on the job as youngsters.

Yeah that way of thinking helped Hayden and Hussey across the ditch too. They went ok.
Maybe that's what NZ need to do with Ravindra, Nicholls can fill in for the next five years can't he ?

Well done fella, definitely found a niche in this form of the game and then some.

Underway and BCs are 66/1.
Still 50 overs in the brackets so looks like we haven't lost any time according to cricinfo ?

Righto. Handy start so far.

Given that Hay is batting at 8, starting to feel like they should be putting the foot on the accelerator.

Yeah scoring rate still seems a touch slow given we're losing 8 overs.
Still, series won so probably not too much of an issue.
