Coach's son face
Looking at the photos on Cricinfo he seems indistinguishable from the rest of the squad, physique-wise. Just doesn't seem to track.Due to the fact he is a reasonably big lad and very strong.
He looks like he could be the love child of Steve Buscemi and Don KnottsI know commenting on someone's appearance is inherently dickish but...man he's a weird looking fella. Like his face is an ironic baby-faced hipster parody of a middle-aged hillbilly. Like....is he a rough-looking wimpy guy or a wimpy looking rough guy? A grizzled baby or a baby-faced old man?

It’s probably almost a decade ago now but he was a absolute gym rat back then. It was around the time he made a NZ squad as a opening bat with John Wright coaching but he was benching 150 plus etc which for anyone especially a cricketer is up there.Looking at the photos on Cricinfo he seems indistinguishable from the rest of the squad, physique-wise.

Who knows if he’s still into the same training regimen
Good question. If Conway and or Kane are back for those games will there be a spot for him? I didn't even know they had this Windies series. What an unusual off-season itinerary for the Black Caps - internationals stretched across June-September, with all the tests in June against one side then limited overs games against 5 other sides.Will Young named the captain of Norhants. Does that mean he's not going to be picked for WI series? That's disappointing if that is so.
Is it? Can't say he fills me with any confidence at all as an opener. Could have success in the middle order but we have enough options there.Will Young named the captain of Norhants. Does that mean he's not going to be picked for WI series? That's disappointing if that is so.

Only valid argument for Young being in the Test side is if they decide on Conway to open.
Wouldn't make my ODI XI either.

Young over Nicholls for me, though not as an opener. There isn’t exactly an embarrassment of batting riches, Guptill will be gone post the WC, and Kane and Conway aren’t turning out all that regularly.Ditto
Top 7 options ahead of Young for Windies tour:
Guptill, Allen, Conway, Williamson, Mitchell, Latham, Nicholls, Phillips, Bracewell, Neesham?, Cleaver - 11 players (8 or 9 would be picked)
Bowlers
Santner, Sodhi (or perhaps Rippon if he performs well, or even all 3 - dead pitches in the Windies) + the seamers
Yeah he's made decent use of the opportunity but looks like he'd be better value in ODIs or tests. Missed a number of attempted scoops in that innings.Anyone know why cleaver is being picked over fletcher on this tour? Fletcher seems the better t20 bat of the two.
