Trent Boult having a batting s/r of 76 is weird when he has 2 jobs

Slog or gtfoh

 

[Gob]

Very fast

SR 400 from Phillips #intent

 

[thierry henry]

jeez 155kph that last ball

Sam Curran being the highest wicket taker is yet more evidence that T20 is a different game

Curran is responding to the excellent coaching system we have

Curran is a genuine gun in this format. Better batter and bowler than Stokes.

Matthew Mott and Mike Hussey, or has he worked with Brendon McCullum and Jeetan Patel?

I feel like Wood to Phillips is a good match up for England

Phillips is actually good against serious pace as long as it's not moving as well. No-one "enjoys" it but it's not a weakness for him. I worry more about the leggies to him.

He could get more wickets in this competition than he has got in his 20 odd tests.

Good time for Kane not to rate spinners.

Weirdly a Stokes injury in this format might not hurt the side too much.

 

[thierry henry]

tbh Kane sort of looks like he’s trying to be positive, yet he’s still the standard 20(22)

Paul Collingwood iirc.

I feel like NZ should send renowned CW member Jimmy Neesham in against the leg spinners

 

[Fuller Pilch]

All coaches

Yes they are.

It’s rated highly because you traverse it to leave brisbane

Livingstone would bowl offies to him and Rashid would probably just be yanked from the attack until he was out. Fielding captain ultimately has much more say over match-ups, which is why teams increasingly don't just go in with five bowling options.

And to arrive. Fmd I should check flights
