I mean their lack of batting isn’t why we’re losing this. I’m all game for calling out on the **** bowling as usual

Averages 62 striking at 97 vs India. Unsurprisingly, fast bowling is his kryptonite and he averages only 15 vs Australia.

Whatever it takes!!!
Nothing, except that we can pick someone who bowls and bats better. They have no redeeming features when their bowling is not good enough.

or.. you know.. we can pick them on the basis of the skill that they are supposed to bring… which is.. you know… being a good bowler

I think we all wrote him off as a Watling style nurdler when he actually really enjoys cutting loose, just doesn't get much opportunity to given he made his first break as a test opener

That is the point. I dont think LO cricket works that way anymore. I dont think any cricket works that way anymore. You cant just pick your 5 best bowlers and hope the top 6 score all the runs. And fielding is as important as any other skill especially in white ball cricket.

He was enjoying his day until he backed India.

Latham's form hasn't been great and there's a couple of other wicketkeepers pushing for selection, so the logic of "the next World Cup is in India so I guess he can stay in the team" has fyi been trotted out quite a few times to justify his spot on CW.

The way Latham is going Kane won't have time for the hundy.

Fantastic partnership that should seal the game, though I hope it doesn't convince NZ this is the right combination to go in with (ie. Santner at 7). If you're not prepared to play Neesham at 7, then go with Macewell, or include another batsman and get overs out of Phillips and Mitchell.

these two extremes are not mutually exclusive though. as I’ve said before having a 8 who can bat decently is needed but what is more important is having 6 bowling options which would have allowed us to cover for Arshdeep’s poor start and Thakur slowly losing his grip on the game because Chahal wasn’t working in the middle overs. As things stand we are sabotaging ourselves by not picking those best bowlers in the bowler roles
