My biggest worry (actually, fear) is that the only change to the eleven will be dropping Young and replacing him with...I'm going to be so gutted if we don't play Rachin or Phillips

I kinda hope either Wagner retires immediately (unlikely) or Henry sits out the first test at least to rest his back. That would leave a bowling attack, if I was selector of:Hard to pick the bowlers when we have no idea who will be fit. Henry might be about to break.
Yeah but they're not going to pick anyone from the NZ XI game. That's just academic only.no, there is an NZ XI game before the first test.
Heard Henry on SENZ this morning and he said it was just a muscle spasm, he’ll be fine in a day or two.Hard to pick the bowlers when we have no idea who will be fit. Henry might be about to break.
Agree, still seems a bit wet around the ears for me, and would rather they start him at 5-6 if they are going to give him a Test run.Am I the only one that just doesn’t see a test opener in Rachin?
I'd think most of his runs have come opening the batting on tough decks. I think he may have done well in the middle order as well for NZ A. Can't be sure.Am I the only one that just doesn’t see a test opener in Rachin? Admittedly I haven’t seen a lot of him but he just looks far to loose to succeed there.
Now if he was batting at four or five that’s a whole different story but…
wasn't my point. My point is you are mistakenly thinking the test is starting when it is the warm up game starting at that day.Yeah but they're not going to pick anyone from the NZ XI game. That's just academic only.
No I meant the day of squad announcement for SL serieswasn't my point. My point is you are mistakenly thinking the test is starting when it is the warm up game starting at that day.
He does drive and play the ball outside off with a very open blade, which is not usually what an opener would want to do against the laterally moving ball in NZ.Am I the only one that just doesn’t see a test opener in Rachin? Admittedly I haven’t seen a lot of him but he just looks far to loose to succeed there.
