Moooo
Who will get to their 1000 runs first? Chase or Hope?
Both are playing their 16th test, and Chase averages 38, while Hope is 35

Yes that's that risk with Craig/Sodhi/Astle, that on a bad day or when under the pump, they are nigh on unbowlable.
That said I think a bowling attack can afford to have one high risk high reward type, who may be bad but may also go on a roll and take 5. Especially when you have an all-rounder to pick up some overs if needed.
On that, it's a shame Williamson barely chucks any down these days. Or not chucks, as the case may be.
As a non-NZer I may be well off the mark here, but my impression is that those 3 spinners you named aren't so much 'high risk high reward' as 'generally a liability with the occasional good contribution' (and the ceilings don't strike me as that high anyway), so you may well be better off sticking with Santner, who at least seems consistently tidy, and looking to a pace option (Ferguson, I guess) as your occasional wrecking ball type?Yeah this current attack is definitely far too on the safe side. Needs a chaos factor sodhi or ferguson type but I wouldn't play both in the same side.
How's Henry's length with the new pill looking so far?
I Hope Shai does, but expect Roston will Chase down that milestone firstWho will get to their 1000 runs first? Chase or Hope?

I only have cricinfo commentary to go by this morning. Last over had 'back of a length' x 4, 'full and wide' x 1 and 'short' x 1 .How's Henry's length with the new pill looking so far?
Yeah, pretty accurate.I only have cricinfo commentary to go by this morning. Last over had 'back of a length' x 4, 'full and wide' x 1 and 'short' x 1 .
Probably. At best the 'high reward' part is an optimistic projection for all three spinners.As a non-NZer I may be well off the mark here, but my impression is that those 3 spinners you named aren't so much 'high risk high reward' as 'generally a liability with the occasional good contribution' (and the ceilings don't strike me as that high anyway), so you may well be better off sticking with Santner, who at least seems consistently tidy, and looking to a pace option (Ferguson, I guess) as your occasional wrecking ball type?
He was bowling them short of a good length outside off...then tried a short one directed at the body of Shai, and was aptly dispatched to the midwicket boundary.I only have cricinfo commentary to go by this morning. Last over had 'back of a length' x 4, 'full and wide' x 1 and 'short' x 1 .
