International Debutant
maybe nzc should re-debut rachin at 29
I'm 100% on board with Kippax, who says he'd favour Chapman's bowling and far superior middle order/late overs batting to Rachin's. Rachin might be slightly better with the ball, but Chapman is far superior at 7.What I got from this was give me more Chapman batting about 6 in the ODI side, which sounds good to me.
He might be waiting nearly that long, if he's in line behind Conway.maybe nzc should re-debut rachin at 29
@trundlerPromising signs.
For some reason I have always remembered Weenink scoring a Shell Cup hundy for Wellington (rare in those days) and then disappearing off the face of the earth after a handful of games.
Would love him to be an option but not going to believe it until he gets through 2-3 FC matches, and takes wickets. Played one last season, prior to that his last FC match was back in 2018-19.Adam Milne ripped apart a top order full of current and former internationals in the hundred this morning. Was awesome fast swing bowling, and despite all the false dawns in his career I still can't help but think he's more worth a crack in Tests than Tickner (and certainly moreso than Kugz)
TBF he was awful in the BBL on wickets that really should have suited him & wickets he would have thrived on at his peak circa 2015-16. He's a shadow of the batsman he was 5-6 years ago which was always going to happen to him when his eye started declining a touch given his technique. We really need to move on from him internationally.Meanwhile, Gup has gone berserk in the CPL today.
Was guptill an inconsistent bat when he was in his prime? I've heard of guys losing consistency as they get older, but he's on another level. Will go 5-10 game stretches on the franchise circuit not timing a ball then spank the best 100 you've ever seen. It's unbelievable.TBF he was awful in the BBL on wickets that really should have suited him & wickets he would have thrived on at his peak circa 2015-16.

Yeah he's always been like that. More extreme now though.Was guptill an inconsistent bat when he was in his prime? I've heard of guys losing consistency as they get older, but he's on another level.
