Did jameison just not pick that up properly? Seemed like it was in the air an eternity
Got within 10 yards stop start jogging. Maybe he wouldn't have gotten there but he hardly committed

I think they all, including Root, thought it went up a bit straighter than it did.

the lack of variety is partly down to being scared of dropping senior players too.
our management had always overrated Southee and Boult (regardless of form) and underrated everyone else. that and we seem to select for day 1 all the time.
we should have had a real spinner and/or wagner playing today.

Problem for them is copping it if England are 250/2 without your 3 and 4 all time wicket takers. Suppose you can argue management should be above that, but they never are.

Do feel this is a weakness of Latham's captaincy compared to Williamson, as against Bangladesh. Tbh a lot of what Williamson does when finding wickets is tough, is to go defensive and keep the runs down. It seems to work quite often though and we're sure as hell not controlling the run rate this innings.

I get that we’re missing what Wagner provides, but I still think we’d be a hell of a lot better off if we stuck to conventional bowing with conventional fields. The whole bouncer thing is a Wagner-meme anyway, it shouldn’t even be on the table if he’s not playing. It’s like we’ve forgotten it’s a weird little thing we came up with a few years ago and not a standard tactic.

I think Henry had too. Going into this series the not playing much and slightly down on goodness Trent Boult was 5th on my NZ pace rankings.
But they're not gonna drop Boult, and tbf we're in England.
Just picked for day 1 I think.

Think this is spot on. Watching this session without context you'd never guess the bowling side had a 300 run lead.
