Southee and Mills basically have to be locks now. Milne should be the last picked because he's a bit too injury-prone, and if he went down during a game - that'd be us. It comes down to Boult vs Mitch for the third seamer spot then. The latter has a ten times better record, but I just can't convince myself to rate him. Boult for me.
I think realistically the next game against pak we need to pick our strongest team whatever that may be
My thoughts precisely. I have a bad feeling the selectors may go that way though with Boult at 1st change.
Haha I love how you keep directing this at CW despite the fact everyone here loves him.
If they really thought Milne was that injury-prone or carrying a serious niggle, they'd replace him with Henry at the drop of a hat. Milne > Mitch for me in the last 12 months (which counts for a lot).
Bit of a form player at international level, also doesn't travel too well outside of SA,NZ,AU. He has given us a few good years in the past, and it looks like he is here to give us another.
Yeah it's possible our best attack should see Southee only get 3-4 overs with the new ball.
That last one was a brute of a delivery tbf. Boy this Irfan guy's dangerous when he hit's the right length. I'd suggest many a batsman would have struggled vs. that.
