***Official***Match #21- India vs New Zealand- October 22nd-Dharamsala (D/N)

Mostly agree except not #3. That's a spine position, so it should be KW or Conway imo.
Rachin could open with Latham, and move Conway to 4.

Or open with Rachin and Conway, and move Latham down the order?

Bit of a log jam since they won’t drop Nicholls.

Rachin does just look, to the eye, a level above. Even if he spends most of time in FC nicking behind for Wellington for sub 30, NZ have to back themselves to get the best out of him at international level. I'm starting to hate less the idea of Williamson going to 4 in tests and Rachin slotting in at 3.
Yeah he seems to have a solid defense to see out some tough overs up front like he did today and some real flair when it comes to strokeplay. It's like Dravid and Sachin had a baby.

Wait.

A hundred run partnership, I was thinking that 250 would have been a good score when these two came together, we should be aiming for 300 now.

Has all the shots, but needs a lot more selectivity about the right balls to attack (of course white ball may not be the best indicator). Should just aim for the opening gig though his potentially rising T20 career may affect that.
Yeah agreed, this is still the same Rachin who cruises to 30 and gets out at Wellington. India dropped him today, which is dangerous against anyone.

Great prospect but I still view good performances from him at this World Cup as a bonus.

Really enjoy watching Ravindra and Mitchell bat

Hopefully Ravindra can get going in tests as he looks a very good young player

Wait.
Why do you think his parents moved to NZ to raise their Rahul/Sachin DNA hybrid

International Regular
ever the underseller aren't you kane
Better to undersell and exceed expectations than oversell and fail to meet them, if all goes well from here we should hopefully score more than 300.

We need at least 300 to be a chance and more than that to really challenge India, something closer to 350.
