Finally a mistiming, and a costly one at that.

Keep bowling leg breaks on 5th stump and we don't have an answer.

bennett's a big ****er isn't he? not often you see a kiwi taller than southee (which ive just noticed now) and he's built af too. bowling action and moves in general like a cyborg.

**** Samson

Pant should have gotten a go as an opener

Could've done so much damage in the PP

when are you allowed to post from your main account again?

Bennett’s really finding his form at this level now.

Wiki lists southee as an inch taller. Waiting for @thierry henry to wade in any moment now..

 

[ataraxia]

That's gargantuan. Beats Rahul's shot over there by a long way, and that is saying a big something.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

They really need a decent 6th (and 7th) bowling option for the WT20 which is why Neesham really needs to be in the team and maybe Chapman. Munro should have got an over in this dead rubber.

they stood opposite each other after a wicket chatting and that's when i realised.

thierry to comment indeed

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Apart from Southee all have really good figures at this stage.

 

[Flem274*]

massive oof, hope he's not done for the tour

 

[nzfan]

Sodhi is amazing but not so much Southee...

 

[Athlai]

So turns out Bennett is pretty good at cricket eh?

 

[ataraxia]

Bennett is the leading contender for 4th-choice seamer I feel. He has hit a great patch for the latter half of this tour; probably should have been picked earlier, but the past is the past after all.

Any player they have got in recently they've gone well but we don't want to change personnel and expect different results. Tom, Bennett, Seifert, Phillips, Ajaz, Somerville pretty much everyone has gone all right.

 

[nzfan]

Bennett's best form is long format, not that he's bad in other forms but he's done amazingly well in the PS in the last three years. Hope they get him into test team.

 

[Flem274*]

they've all bowled quite well, southee aside.

lyer has recovered his innings somewhat after a shaky start.

 

[Flem274*]

wagner
boult
ferguson

Especially in tests, going back a while.

There's no real 1-5 test big failures that form a rough quarter of all test players. A testament to the selection policy employed; while we often disagree with it, it does have its benefits.
