*Official* New Zealand in Bangladesh 2023/24

[SteveNZ]

Yep, Ish is absolutely vital on the sub-continent. In fact, incredibly, he's probably our No.1 spinner in all three formats now - speaks really highly to the maturity and improvement he's executed in his bowling.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Sodhi won't even be our second best spin option in a years time.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Sodhi won't factor past this year - have a look at Nethula, Loveridge, Walker et all.

Neither of them will have an international cricket acareer past 2016.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Sodhi averages 23.85 with the ball in all formats combined since 1 Jan 2020:

Tests 25.15 (only the 2 tests in Pakistan), ODI 31.90 (17 ODIs), T20is 21.4 (62).

I remember he was adamant there should be a new Wellington cricket ground next to the airport, forcing anyone who wanted to watch a game of cricket through the Mt Vic tunnel and probably doubling traffic to the airport on game day.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Didn't know Sodhi had such strong opinions on public infrastructure.

 

[Athlai]

Didn't know Sodhi had such strong opinions on public infrastructure.

Politics is a transferable skill for someone that can get that much spin

 

[straw man]

Also for someone who can merely devour any opposition to his ideas

 

[The Hutt Rec]

that was blocky

 

[Zinzan]

Iirc he said he changed his approach to bowling in a post match interview after the Pakistan test series where he was out best bowler. He's been superb for sometime now.

Yes, and let's hope this performance in the SC (admittedly the UAE) lives well in the distant memory for Ish.

That was pre long run up, from memory? He bowled really inconsistently at that tournament and I wouldn't be surprised if that was the catalyst for the changes he made

I remember watching that final and worrying he was finished. Him and sants bottled it hard.

The blowtorch never really turns on Santner for some reason, but he needs a big World Cup. He's failed to fire in big matches a few times.

 

[NZTailender]

Foxcroft to debut, Milne for Jamieson. Yeah bois

Jeez I'd love Mine to bowl well for a couple of games and to be the replacement for Southee, which would provide great competition for the 3rd seamer spot between Milne and Fergo (on the more seamer friendly pitches there) after Boult and Henry.

It’s only this game in which he has an opportunity, right? Assuming we get some play today. Don’t think there’s anything else till the warmups.

I suspect like in KW’s case they’ll gamble on Southee’s fitness though. And if they need a replacement Jamieson might well be in the frame (though I don’t think he should be).

I believe his wickets since 2019 WC have come at 50 apiece, which is a concern. But equally, I feel he doesn’t get enough credit when the 2019 semifinal is remembered. Kept the lid on India right through and those wickets of Pant and Pandya were massive.
