Shout out to Bevon Jacobs who never got a game under Stead - the new coach picks him in his first game in charge and Jacobs responds with a wonderful batting effort on debut
Was anybody actually calling for his inclusion before he was plucked from nowhere for the IPL?

I was thinking of the 3 match series at home vs Sri Lanka where he was selected in the squad but never got a game - was a waste of an opportunity.

Well we smacked SA last night, I saw most of the first innings before going to bed, they didn't have any answers to our bowlers. Looks like Seifert got going to get us home at a canter.
We have our last game against Zimbabwe tomorrow before the final against SA on Saturday night.

Henry?
Thought he looked familiar.

Nice to win a meaningless T20 series no one will remember 2 weeks from now… but seriously how good is Henry across all 3 formats now

Good effort from Henry to defend 8 in the final over against two set batters. 2 wickets plus a dropped catch. Another brutal choke in a knock out for the South Africans.
They've already reached their allocation for world titles for the next decade at least

I’ll have forgotten two days from now…
Matt Henry’s improvement across all formats is inspiring stuff. The numbers are excellent across the board.
Still got quite a few years left in the team provided injuries and form don’t become issues for him.
Considering until fairly recently he was pretty much a spare part if Southee/Boult/Wagner broke down he’s done so well to get where he is

One of those players where stats and a bit of luck finally swung the way of talent that was always there.
yep hard work pays off and he is a hard worker off the field as well as on.

Southee made a career out of chucking pies from start to finish.Now he is teaching the English bowlers not sure what though.

Breaks an impressive run for Latham too
its the first test he has missed since 2014..
He had played 88 successive tests
The Black Caps record is 101..can you guess who it belongs to? (without cheating!)
