I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Can we rename Christchurch Henryton?
cant catchCan't bat, can't bowl.
Apart from that he looks like a great selection.
I think Marsh is probably nothing more than a shortish-medium term selection tbh given his age. I think the longish term answer is they find an opener, Smith goes to four, Green to five and Head bats six.I don’t know what the answer is but marsh and head in the same line up make me feel quite uncomfortable with the middle order
Green staying four and Smith going to five is another option. That said Smith may not outlast Marsh considering their respective ages.I think Marsh is probably nothing more than a shortish-medium term selection tbh given his age.

Matt Henry been a one man army this series for NZ. Terrific individual performance with bat and ball. Good cricketer.
Smith is not long term. Probably got 2 years, 3 years tops. And Khawaja also won't be around, so Marsh should outlast both.I think Marsh is probably nothing more than a shortish-medium term selection tbh given his age.

The old Mike Gatting quip in Hadlee's day about facing the World XI from one end and the Ilford second XI from the other.The gap between Henry and the rest of our attack at the moment is the Grand Canyon. He's hitting the pitch hard, in good areas consistently, nipping them in either direction. The others just looking so pedestrian (Sears obv yet to bowl this morning, hope he can back up from a decent spell yesterday) and its so frustrating given that we all knew this was the case.
