Team has struggled since the retirement of several key players.
The batting is fine with 18 players with first class averages above 50.
No all-rounder is destroying my ODI record. No batsmen can bowl 10 overs. *No bowlers are reliable at number seven. The best all-rounder at domestic levels averages mid 20's with the bat and high 40's with the ball. Awaiting a regen.
Wicketkeeping an issue. Several choices average mid 30's in domestic - however all have failed at international level. Neate is only 22 and has the best record.
Bowling remains the big issue. Fry and Quentin do the job; however it's a constant recycling process through the remaining bowlers.
Four or five seasons ago the team had a perfect record being the series holder against all Test nations. Big rebuilding job ahead.
