Nah look at how little Cummins and Pattinson have played over the last 4 years. The only genuine pace bowler who's been more available than Milne in recent times is Starc, and even he's currently on a 6 month layoff.

Not sure Pattinson is quite in that 'express' club is he? But I was think about the likes of Starc, Johnson & Lee for Aust in the last decade. Just feels like Milne can't last more than 3-4 games consecutively without something happening.

You're right about Cummins though, he may actually be worse.

In tests he averages worse in Australia, South Africa and India (under 30 in all 3 countries) than he does in NZ.

Also saying England is tougher to bat than NZ is totally arbitrary these days considering there's such a contrast between their flat decks and spicy decks over there. Just reflect on the recent Ashes series.

Great captaincy from Taylor, keeping the quick bowlers on to twist the knife. Wonderful aggressive, proactive stuff.

Obviously learned a thing or two crom watching McCullum's captaincy. Great to see. Probably won't happen but would really like to see Taylor given another go as captain for a couple years.

Another dropped chance from Taylor, definitely a bit frail in the slips these days.

There was a time in which Taylor would drop no more than 1 slip catch in a whole summer, circa 2006-2010. I genuinely thought he was a safer slipper than Fleming, Mark Taylor, Mark Waugh around that time, but these last few years he's just merely been 'good'.

playing all three in the same test would be crazy. asking for david warner to open the bowling in the second innings.

Nah, if fully fit it would be an awesome attack, using Hazel & Lyon to do the donkey work and the other 3 in short sharp spells.
