He definitely wouldn't be absolutely cooked lying on the grass at the Black Clash like Scott Robertson was at the Black Clash that's for sure

Finn Allen for Test keeper.Stuff

What's the plan if Tommy B is out? Not like any keepers are currently knocking the door down domestically at the moment.

Allen can bosh a catch but when has he shown the skills to actually be a good gloveman?

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.

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.

And Dougeh. Lots of Dougeh. Make him captain, he'll save Test cricket.

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.Stuff

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.

I actually think he's alright tbh. Would be even better if he did it more often. In another life he might have been basically BJ Watling.

This man recommended Seifert for years
