*Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

Trying to imagine what the Test side would look like if NZ went full Bazball.

They would still pick Conway, Williamson and Mitchell. Ravindra and Allen would be in. Who else?

For the avoidance of doubt (and being called out for my moronic opinions again) this is not actually the side I would select for a test match.

Allen
Ravindra
Conway
Williamson
Mitchell
Santner
Seifert +
Smith
Jamieson
Southee

Interesting side, btw have you considered being less of a MORON?

How could you forget saviour of NZ cricket Tim Robinson?

Also needs more Josh Clarkson and that South African born guy who hit some dingers the other day.

What's dougeh like at standing arms aloft in the middle of the wicket and sharting himself? Trying to assess his potential to save test cricket.

What's the plan if Tommy B is out? Not like any keepers are currently knocking the door down domestically at the moment.
Latham keeping is actually a good idea. All of Cleaver, Fletcher, Hay are solid options, but go on make Latham keep. Nicholls is in some form (domestically at least) but getting Ravindra in would be utterly mandatory in any other team – as it should be.

Might be good for Latham to have a change of role as well, as much as he was looking forwards to filling his boots against RSA F.

It would be handy way to get Ravindra in the 11. Ready to take over from he who we kid ourself "is just tired".

Because we will need him sooner than Stead/Wells think. Conway is shot. Won't be in the 11 by end of season.

Latham does drop them though, like in the world cup.

I don't know who the best remaining glove man is but I'd rather just slot them at 7 and Nicholls remains in the firing line.

Conway
Latham
Williamson
Ravindra/Young/Nicholls
Mitchell
Phillips
Blundell or his sub
