    Tom Latham is actually a better captain than Williamson based on what I've seen. Excellent with his bowling changes.

    Malcolm Marshall vs Glen McGrath

    Shane Bond had a lovely action.

    Would suspect there may not be a surgical solution to the issue.

    Oh god we're going to drop Jamieson and play 8 spinners and Mitchell's going to open the bowling

    I am also skeptical of Nicholls abilities, but what exactly has Phillips done to earn his shot ahead of the incumbent? I admit I'm not exactly the most ardent follower of domestic cricket but what are people seeing in Phillips that I'm missing? As far as I'm concerned Nicholls gets the rest of...

    If the BCCI want to make the pitch a bunsen burner/a lottery I'm not complaining about that.

    Yeah he has never looked like a world beater but we love him because he's got that veteran pro ability to just be busy and know his scoring areas. He's never looked like a perfectly technically sound batsman or anything I guess my point is the hypocrisy of talking about Nicholls in a positive...

    How in this thread can we be extolling the virtues of Henry Nicholls, a man who can't play on slow decks to save himself, while raging about Rishabh Pant's aggressive batting as Not Proper Cricket (tm)? It's just ridiculous. Just because he bats at a high strike rate doesn't mean that he...

    Rachin -The Kiwi wonderkid

    In rural nz it's also relatively easy to get a semi-professional contract to play rugby, or at least a club role tied to a cushy job. Partly because of the way nzr likes to have potential players spread out around the regions to have more even competition, and partly because of how insane local...

    Rachin -The Kiwi wonderkid

    Fewer people going/planning to go into a career as a professional sportsperson is probably a good thing, overall. Not sure how much that has to do with amateur participation. But in general australian and nz culture has placed way too much emphasis on sport.

    Must be a pretty cool feeling for Rachin and Ajaz

    Why are they even pretending to check the light meter. No way do they pull them off.

    It's too late for that now. A few boundaries won't put them under pressure at all now.

    Would actually prefer Young opening and Conway in the middle order.

    It's not a bunsen burner though. At the time when Ross came in we were still an outside chance of putting pressure on in the chase. Now it's completely dead and India can set whatever fields they like because we're not chasing it.

    Blundell also not the best player of spin. Probably would rather have Rachin come out ahead of him.

    Except we haven't actually drawn this test yet, and now India has complete freedom with attacking field settings because we're no chance of chasing it.

    Exactly. Now they have complete freedom to attack which is not good for us.
