Baz wants to enforce the follow on so he's saving the new ball bowlers

Neesham has so much potential as a bowler - great action, generates good pace, gets good lift off the wicket - just suffers from Sodhi disease where he can't bowl in a consistent pattern, also suffers from not being able to take the ball off the seam despite everything being in his favour to do so. If I was NZ Cricket I'd be investing a **** tonne of Bond's time in trying to get Neesham performing with the ball because he offers us so much at 6 with the bat.

As much as Taylor can take some blinders, he tends to drop one a series that is a complete doddle.

Can't imagine a couple of overs at 50 percent would've hurt. That's how bad the Sri Lankan tail has been.

Enforce because I have to go to work on Monday.

He's a strong lad but I wouldn't say his bowling action is great. His head drops away sooooo much he's always going to struggle with his accuracy. Not to mention he does nothing with the ball.

Feel as though with some tweaks he can be quite threatening. Doesn't seem to have a plan at the moment, and doesn't exploit the seam or the pitch as as well as he could. Just seems to bowl exactly the same the world over on every pitch.

Indeed, I've been scratching my head as to exactly what it is about his action that causes him to lose shape so often. As you say, he actually has quite a classy action.

Tbh I want Rutherford and Latham to get some more runs and experience. Don't enforce, give Tim & Trent a good rest. Get 500 runs ahead.

Agree with that - I mean more so his setup, the way he gets over his front leg and his high arm action - they're all good signs of being able to generate pace and sustain it over a number of overs. He should study Dale Steyn and Allan Donald for how to keep the arm and head high through the crease which would help him.
But the nothing with the ball part comes down to wrist action and grip - very rare for an NZ bowler to not swing it one way or the other.

He's a "spearer". He brings the bowling arm over past perpendicular which ****s up his accuracy and wrist release because he can only spear the ball into the right hander.
