nahhhh phillips is a generational talent. Could bat literally anywhere in the top 7, we just lack icing so he gets shoved down.
Not really as the catch was of Inglis, but the guy belted nz was Cummins lmao

You would think the way that he is a clean hitter he should be able to do it more often. A bit like Wood when he hits it it stays hit so why not tee off like that every time. 30 off 15 is better at the end than a stodgy run a ball anyway.

God help the England attack when we play Warner, Head and Maxwell
Imagine peak McCullum batting rn in this situation, would have been so much fun to watch

Think Mitchell being the only one that's both highly destructive and very good against high pace is a better way of putting it.

You can accept Australia batting brilliantly up front, but the fact some of our bowlers (esp Phillips) battled manfully to pull Australia back only for us to repeatedly footgun ourselves is a little hard to take. Terrible catching and some bad choices with the ball - who to bowl when and what lengths to bowl.
I wasn't sure what we should do at the toss either, but by now looks a terrible choice to bowl first. We had to work out that pace was a poor choice on this wicket and took too long to do so. And the pitch has slowed a touch from earlier in the day, making pure roady strokeplay more difficult. It's still fairly flat but we've given Australia the recipe of how to bowl on it, and they won't be so generous with their catching.

Yeah Mitchell is our most destructive hitter, he will need to make a big score for us to be a chance, Conway too who can be destructive if he gets in.
They are our most reliable batsmen that can score quickly and bat big, Ravindra could play that role for us too but he is still inexperienced.
Phillips and Neesham are more the icing type players who can score quickly at the back end if we can get close enough but they won't make the cake.

Mitchell is that highly destructive/good against high pace combination. No one else quite nails that balance in this lineup but Conway might get going.
