Ravindra 6-fer incoming

 

[nzfan]

Very confident knock Gill.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

An indian origin New zealand spinner who isnt rubbish? Wtf is this

2 of them

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Ravindra 6-fer incoming

Yeah I'm worried about Jadeja too.

 

[hendrix]

Rachin looks exactly what this team needs. Whether he opens or bats 6 in the future I don't really mind.

 

[Chewie]

If Ravindra bowls well we might see the end of Santner in test cricket!

 

[nzfan]

Rachin is going to be very effective in the second innings with that pace. Odd ball is turning now but in two days time it'll turn big. On slow pitch much better to bowl a bit quicker.

Somerville vs right hand heavy batting isn't look that much threatening tbh. Santner here with his height & odd ball keeping low would have been better choice especially vs right handers.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

It says India v England on the screen. The Indians really don't rate us, do they?

Nope.

I'd rather we pick Ish Sodhi or Michael Rippon before santner

 

[Apex Predator]

Gill with technique & set up can be perfect guy to bat in middle order in South Africa. He will enjoy Joburg especially fast scoring ground & lots of pace n bounce. Hopefully they still pick him when big guns return

 

[Arachnodouche]

Loathe Murali Karthik's passive-aggressive schtick.

What second innings

 

[GoodAreasShane]

So two good overs = conclusive evidence of guaranteed Test success

ITSTL

 

[Immenso]

What second innings

That's what I was going to say!

 

[Frost]

You would think if Rachin comes through ok he would be a good choice at 7 permanently, takes care of spin. Haven't seen much of his batting, being a top order player at first class you'd assume he would be as good as cdg

 

[Apex Predator]

There is some hate for Santner among NZ posters

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Definitely Rippon.

Should be ahead of Blundell. Long term opener.

If Glenn Phillips kicks on (batting and bowling) we could have both of them in top 6 as 2nd and 3rd spinners to Adithya Astok in 5 years. Leggie, SLA, offie and 3 quicks.
