Yeah bad version of Ishant Sharma destroyed us in the 1st innings of the BMac 300 and then the SL seamers (Lakmal and Pradeep??) did the next year before a monster KW-Watling partnership led to a NZ comeback win.
Minutes, balls or runs? Because lower, lower and lower
That’s the only thing that makes any sense, unless Dazza has been bowling a storm up in the nets.
Meanwhile Duffy is back playing Plunket Shield.
This type of thing has happened a few times, where instead of being decisive and dropping an underperforming player, they select their replacement alongside them and it becomes a shootout to retain the spot. Young has to make a score here while Nicholls doesn't. If not they'll retain Nicholls forever.
Expect the worst and hope for better.
Share the pain I suppose :-)
They're fixated to keep Nicholls till he retires I guess. Highly likely they'll make him the captain too. I can't put that past Larsen and Stead.
Nicholls will probably last longer than Larsen and Stead tbh.
We can fully expect Nicholls to score a match-defining 80 in which he gets dropped 5 times now.
I expect 100% for Nicholls to come good.. If you are playing for a year you're bound to score a fifty here and there. Every domestic player is capable of that.
Much like Crawleys 8 runs
