I haven’t given my 2 cents on Young v Ravindra yet (sure you’ve all been waiting) but…I’m far from convinced that Ravindra is now a better bat than Young. In fact you might even say that 1 innings ago this wasn’t even a debate and reversing your opinion on two players based on one innings is slightly insane

But whatever I want them both to do well

Good to see Young notch up a fifty but I'm not sure it will be enough to save his spot when Willamson returns.

Will Young gotta be best in the world at the very gentle straight 6 that always initially looks like it’s gone straight up

Anyone else find modern day highlights packages completely useless? It's just showing off how many different camera angles they have at the ground, you can't actually see what's happening.

 

[Neil Young]

A timely reminder from Young that he's a pretty good player.

 

[Athlai]

Absolutely huge

You know what, it was a bit strange when Nannes described him as ‘tall, about my height, 6’1” or 6’2”’ even though at first glimpse De Leede doesn’t really look very tall

 

[King Kane]

Ravindra must have a good bat, doesn't look like he hits them that hard but they still sail into the stands.

He might just have some talent too, I probably couldn't even hit a four using the same bat.

Pretty sure they're done by AI. No feel for what actual cricket watchers want to see.

Guys i have the perfect idea regarding the playing 11 selection , sharing it in blackcaps squad thread haha

 

[BeeGee]

I think New Zealand will score 300

They bloody better. At 132/1 after 24 overs they should be looking at 330+.

If it was just a battle of their batting I agree, but it's the value Ravindra's bowling provides to the balance of the side which allows us to bat Santner as low as 8, with Phillips/Mitchell/Ravindra (and Neesham if they play him ahead of Chapman) bowling 10 overs between them.

The cop out will be Rachin batting 7 IMO.

 

[straw man]

Ravindra must have a good bat, doesn't look like he hits them that hard but they still sail into the stands.

At first glance you think Ravindra is fairly slight, but no he's pretty buff and has deceptively #LongLevers that allow him to hit a long way into the stands especially over mid-on. Mark Chapman pretty similar actually.

Really not comfortable with backtracking on Young at the last minute because of Ravindra’s BOWLING tbh

Feels like very convoluted logic for Rachin to overtake Young based on one innings of batting (but based on his bowling)

Just drop Latham, see my post in blackcaps squad thread lol

Height check confirmation required by TH, but I have Ravindra at roughly 5'9 & 3/4s
