Phillips bowled the full toss intentionally to test shanto’s hitting power. Shanto wanted to show him the muscles but KW turned out to be real hero.

Whatever it takes!!!
Yeah just trying to make sense why he was preferred to Rachin, who actually played in that role against Ind last time you guys were in the SC.
Athlai
Not Terrible
If they play Rachin outside the top order, we riot

Athar used to middle those full tosses for leg glance for singles in his peak. Expected the same from Shanto.

Got to admit Ravindra not playing is pretty god damn disappointing to say the least.

Phillips wasn’t in the running for this role 2 years ago because he wasn’t seen as a bowler at all then.
Rachin 2 years ago was a top order bat being shoehorned into an all-rounder role. It’s possible (although I wouldn’t count on it) that the selectors have seen the light and now see him as purely a top order bat and no better a bowler than Phillips (arguable) and no better a batsman than Phillips when asked to play the #7 role (also arguable).
I wouldn’t have been mad at Ravindra playing ahead of Phillips, but I think most NZ fans would be more inclined to say that a spot should be found for him in the top 4 (so basically for Nicholls or maybe Latham at a push).

Devils advocate: Nicholls got a double ton in his last test (granted against Sri Lanka at home and he hasn't done that well on the sub continent outside of the 2018 series win against Pakistan) and has two Plunket Shield tons so hard to dump as the in-form incumbent.
O'Rourke is coming along nicely based on that A-tour.

Imagine Shanto and Shan Masood opening together for a team. Hobbs and Sutcliffe all over again.

Ew I'd almost forgotten Southee was ridiculously appointed our Test skipper which of course means we have to live with him being our opening bowler regardless of conditions, and selfishly wasting reviews along the way.
If you don't want Kane selections, make Latham, Conway or Mitchell test skipper already.
Just hoping we've well & truly moved on from Southee come the 4 test series in Australia in a couple of years.

lol Sodhi was taking stutter steps as if he was trying to position himself under that catch, then ended up 5 metres short of it
