Yeah, we had a young bloke on the slips cradle one afternoon many years ago down in Melbourne who was absolutely letting them rip. At times, the only choice was to duck because it was coming way too quick to catch.

When it rained we used to set up the slips cradle up under cover and throw some water on it, then get those balls the Milo cricket kids used - not as hard as a cricket ball but had some decent weight in them so they'd skim off it and hurt when they hit you without otentially killing you - and set up a game on the verandah of the club house, with blokes pelting them as hard as they could form about ten yards away. Was great fun. Tested the reflexes

Young is not an opener. All 3 innings show his reluctance to play shots. We need to persevere and find a place somewhere further down as I think he can deliver as a 5 to lengthen the middle order

If NZ can get through to lunch one down, it will be an almost perfect start for their middle order to show us what they've got tbh. This has been precisely the type of start they've needed - sure they'd like a few more on the board but they've worked their arses off here.

Edit: nvr mind
