Today was his chance. A 5 hour century may have seen him added as 14th player in test squad, then into a net session shootout for the opener spot. I suspect now he has to wait until a winter tour.

Whatever it takes!!!
Bumrah and Shami good with the ball. Umesh a lil wayward as usual. Saini seems to serve up a lot of four bals based on the evidence of these youtube videos courtest Kippax. If Ishant is not fit, I think we should go in with this XI:
Mayank
Vihari
Pujara
Kohli (c)
Rahane (vc)
Pant
Jadeja
Ashwin
Umesh
Shami
Bumrah
Mayank
Vihari
Pujara
Kohli (c)
Rahane (vc)
Pant
Jadeja
Ashwin
Umesh
Shami
Bumrah

yea he looked to be low on confidence in the odi series and after about a year of test cricket and not playing anywhere where the ball moves all that much his tendency to stay too legside of the ball seems to be his undoing. Guy still knows how to build an innings though so is valuable. In those first day Nzl conditions against a new ball Hitman would be a sitting duck.

Isn't Hitman ruled out of the series with injury?

If Ishant was fit I’d have a very good feeling about this series given the four man attack. Vihari bowling a bit of spin helps though. I think we’ve got a good chance nonetheless.

Just help us with an overhaul of New Zealand cricket administration, okay. We obviously can't do it ourselves, they answer to you, the Indian cricket consumer. Tell David White that the 11.30am starts will suck, the general 'grassy then road' archetype for all the red ball cricket in this country sucks, his son getting a record-breaking number of Youth ODIs when there were much more deserving youngsters sucked, and it's all being helmed by someone who isn't really answerable to us as New Zealanders.

You're being unfair, Kippo. Ollie scored a magnificent 80 v Japan.
For others playing at home (and this is not a shot at Ollie, this is pointing out the nonsense of pandering to his old man who is a **** administrator) his NZ U19 scores are 17, 1, 32 (v Zim), 7. 1. 80 (v Japan), 4, 14, 0, 18 for an average of 17.4.

That last ball from Bumrah was so refreshing to see. Have to admit that I went through a bit of a depression after Bumrah's wicketless ODI series (just 3 matches neverthless). Hope to see him in full flow in the test series.

Has a lot of time and plenty of class. Alas hasn't learnt batting for 2-3 sessions yet. Pulling Shami and Yadav on the front foot. His time will come he'll rule cricketing world no doubt.

Another class player Allen. Lovely drives off the front foot, no shame in getting poles by Bumrah. That was a good nut.

Hope they don't take this dismissal too seriously and will give Young a go for black caps ASAP. If he misses these two tests then he'll have to wait up till our winter tour to Bangladesh.

Is umesh a case of being suited only to sg ball bowling? guy doesn't seem as threatening or impressive away from home with the kookaburra especially and when there's help he tends to spray it around even more.
The amazing part of that sentence is you could have moved the words will and give around, and it'd still make sense.
I digress..there's no spot for him. He won't open, and every other spot is taken. I imagine the Blundell opening spot will be up for grabs again in the next 12-18 months, and I'd hate to see him shoehorned in there like so many in the past. #4 when Ross is gone, and anywhere from #3 to #6 (Blundell move down if BJ was injured/retires) if needed.
