What the hell is this leg side bowling
The Hutt Rec
International Vice-Captain
He’s got years of rope yet … he’s a good cantab lad!

I wouldn't mind seeing him open next test instead of Latham but I can't see him being dropped when he's our vice captain.

Shut the **** up Athar, they clearly have a plan to bowl it on leg stump and they should have got him out twice first innings doing exactly that. There's a cluster of fielders protecting the leg side. Analyse why they're doing it, instead of telling him to bowl a touch outside off. Idiot.
Bowling too foot outside leg stump is probably not the plan though, admittedly.

Latham's averaging 37 over 15 tests in the past 2 years, with that average being majorly inflated by the 260* vs Bangladesh at home and the roads in Pakistan.
Latham's recent numbers would have been fine in any other era of NZ cricket, but with rachin in the wings may be worth moving on? Hard call to make.

Rachin >> Latham

He can also fight for Nicholls spot with the likes of Young

Nah look, Nicholls is far shitter than Latham.
Even if Rachin really wanted to open, Latham at 4 >> Nicholls.
It's hard to drop a batsman right after a double ton, especially if he wasn't only playing for injury or conditions, but he's clearly the weakest link in the top order.

What is Ravindra's FC average ?

He's come of age since last playing first class cricket.

Only 2 players under 30 in the NZ side playing this test ; renewal has to happen sooner rather than later. "We can't drop this bloke cos he's a much beloved stalwart" is not going to regenerate the team, the bullet has to be bitten and hard calls made. We have a 4 test tour of Aus coming up in 2026/27, start preparing for that eventuality now. There is a desperate need for new seamers in the mix & a hard look needs to be taken at the batting as well. The Neil Wagner "I'll retire when I'm good and ready" everlasting farewell needs to be ended asap. It is the job of coach and selector/s to effect needed change.
