Impressed Will Young able to score these runs despite not being South African and having respect for hierarchy and tradition.
Never had doubts about his ability against pace, especially off the back foot. But never thought he'd look this accomplished against spinners in Indian conditions, even if it is very slow turn.

Southee sitting here with his feet up and the commentators all talking about how he deserves a good break after putting in the hard yards in tough foreign conditions...

Every NZ bowler in the last 100 years would be thinking nah I'll be back out there in 2 hours when we're 100/7. And bowling again half an hour after that.

Do agree with the commentators - he hasn't hit a shot in anger and yet strikes the ball so crisply. He is a genuine stroke-player i.e. he strokes the ball.

He's got a very good power game too but adapts nicely to red ball. Getting to 60 has never been a problem for him. It's the big hundreds that he didn't get slowed him down getting to black caps. The break through series for him was the NZ A tour to UAE which was also a first for Kyle and Rachin at that level.

Averages 21 in the supposed spinners graveyard australia tbf
Yeah, handy bowler in Aus conditions - does the Vettori thing well - keeping it tight and picking up wickets to aggressive shots. Also, unlike Dan, he can actually bowl in the 4th innings.
