Trying to think of other players who have kept wicket in internationals then given up the gloves and successfully turned their hand to bowling.

 

[King Kane]

Phillips has definitely justified his selection now, if he can make some runs as well that will be a bonus.

Tillakaratne Dilshan??

 

[King Kane]

A good bouncer from Southee, could have been another wicket if we had a better fielder at fine leg than Ajaz, he is almost as bad as Sodhi.

 

[Gnske]

Losing wickets to Phillips of all people

Dhoni kind of did it in a couple of matches.

 

[Zinzan]

Could Phillips be a slightly upgraded Maxwell in SC Tests? Heh

 

[King Kane]

Phillips with 4 wickets now, he could be on for a 5'fer here.

 

[thierry henry]

Blundell has been sharp standing up but ponderous standing back

 

[Athlai]

Phillips wag

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Phillips with 4 wickets now, he could be on for a 5'fer here.

Or 6

 

[thierry henry]

Phillips about to have as many 5fers in 1 test match innings bowled as Santner has in a 12 year first class career

 

[thierry henry]

Blundell has been sharp standing up but ponderous standing back

shhhhh

 

[King Kane]

Blundell has been sharp standing up but ponderous standing back

Still better than Latham who is ponderous standing back or standing up.

Has a test team ever played this many keepers, or keeping options in an XI before? Conway, Latham, Nicholls, Phillps and Blundell. Even Daryl Mitchell was a keeper until he was 15-16.

That did bounce about 20 metres in front of him when they showed the side on view, to be fair.

 

[thierry henry]

Galaxy brain Southee taking the new ball to bowl spin

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Blundell not having the tidiest day, but he was great in Pakistan last year. I’m sure he’ll improve as the series progresses.

 

[King Kane]

A chance to bowl Bangladesh out for under 300 now which would be a good result for us considering what it looked like being halfway through the day

That did bounce about 20 metres in front of him when they showed the side on view, to be fair.

Yeah I was bit harsh on him, he was slow moving to it but it probably would have taken someone with Phillips pace and fielding skills to take that catch,.

 

[_Ed_]

Jamieson really deserved that second wicket.
