Melie also started batting quite far down the order too and now is a proper all-rounder - though maybe that was just due to how young she was when she debuted

Greenwood dropped for Bracewell... so now you've got Tashkoff, Bracewell and Younghusband for spin. Hartshorn, Sears, van Beek and Abbas for seam. At least Johnson's down to bat at 4 this week. I'm once again confused about the balance though. There must be the assumption that Tashkoff and Abbas are better batsmen than Greenwood. It's all a bit confusing.
Still, hopefully Tashkoff goes well. Just not sure he'll get a chance to bowl in this line-up.

Good to see Nathan Smith sitting and talking with the Sparks. Hopefully he wants to go home.

Greenwood made 48 off 30 in his only innings of the season too. I get that Abbas is a PONI and Tashkoff was primarily a batsman in youth cricket but it's definitely still weird, especially since Greenwood isn't exactly ageing out either.
It'd be hilarious if Melie moved to the Sparks.

I'm hoping their batting will develop to the point where we have room for both of them, with one being a specialist bat.
Yep great point

Don't think Chu's batting will ever get there.

My impression is he might be the better keeper of the two anyway.

Yeah I agree, but if Hay's keeping is good and only Hay is good enough on batting alone I don't think they'll be bending over backwards to play a keeper who isn't.

Speaking of keeping, that was a great stop from Chu.
It's a good fantasy that both he and Hay are good enough batsmen for a permanent spot, though yes it's unlikely. Would be very unfortunate for Chu if he doesn't get a chance for NZ at all. Unless Hay starts producing Gilchrist-like performances, I guess.
