Raza for Moeen. Perhaps strengthen the batting with Usman K for Bopara.I’m pretty sure Sikander Raza is decent enough to fit in this team
If this was for T20s, Chapman would make it.

I don't entirely agree with this assessment, I think he was given more time to develop his game at domestic level and ease into international cricket. By this age Guptill/Taylor/Williamson/McMillan/Fleming/McCullum/Latham had all played twice the number of ODIs/Tests/T20 that Rachin has.it's insane because he gave every indication of being one of those long term project players who shows glimmers of talent but takes until his late 20s to tighten up his game but he's just come in and bossed it immediately
I think you have a good crop of pacers, Taskin , Mustafizur, Tazim , Shoriful, Hasan Mahmud , Nahid Rana is good fast bowling depth..I think our bowling in ODIs has actually regressed while the test bowling has come on in leaps and bounds. Shakib's white ball bowling is a huge loss and Miraz hasn't been up to it for a while.
What?Game still on a knife's edge.
Any number of our players could become violently illWhat?
It would be between Moeen and Raza , can't drop Ravi need his medium pacers.I’m pretty sure Sikander Raza is decent enough to fit in this team
Yeah, he certainly wasn't a 19 year old fresh faced debutant who came in and blew the world away, ala Kane with a ton on debut in India. He had more domestic cricket than any other NZ wunderkind I remember, or in fact any 'this guy is world class' sort of product.5th fastest to 1000 runs for NZ

This was the first post I saw when I woke up. You tease. I'm not 18 again, I don't need to be diddled like thatGame still on a knife's edge.
Khawaja is not a bad option,I think he has decent record in whatever chance he was given.What's the best SWENA ODI XI of Asian ethnicity?
I'll go with
1.Hashim Amla
2.Shivnarine Chanderpaul
3.Rachin Ravindra
4.Ramnaresh Sarwan
5.Ravi Bopara
6.Nicholas Pooran (WK)
7.Moeen Ali
8.Adil Rashid
9.Ravi Rampaul
10.Saqib Mahmood
11.Imran Tahir
Not bad !
It was a call back to this when we needed 90 runs off about 25 oversThis game is still on a knife's edge, Ravindra is looking good but if he gets out soon with a new batsman at the crease it is game on again.
tbf in international cricket he doesn't have to contend with the likes of Sean Solia and Will Williams, his kryptoniteit's insane because he gave every indication of being one of those long term project players who shows glimmers of talent but takes until his late 20s to tighten up his game but he's just come in and bossed it immediately
AgreeRachin or Bracewell for MoM?
Even though that was a superb hundred, Bracewell probably had the bigger impact in my opinion.
Also think Bracewell although one thing in favour for Rachin was that we were in a wee bit of trouble when he came in.Rachin or Bracewell for MoM?
