Be funny if it wasn't probably true.

The media just making this a beat-up now. Talking about reading between the lines to sensationalise something out of nothing ....

I'll come bricks down on you, but that's another matter entirely.

Any highlights of Latham's innings? Could he be the long term answer for the test opening role?

he swept alot. Looks like he can play.

OTOH I didn't think Devcich was that bad, and Dernbach looks a good bowler to me so...

He doesn't look remotely like a Test opener. Yet another middle order batsman.

Yeah and I don't see why anyone would be looking to a 2020 for test opening potential. They're pretty incompatible.

I think there are signs that he could handle the role. I was quite impressed when he came out in the washed out game on Monday and looked very composed against Finn & Broad. I thought he looked more organised that Rutherford. Also, it is a position the selectors obviously see him having potential in - he scored a century opening against India A for NZ A in their 'test'.

Obviously, it would help if he was opening for Canterbury rather than keeping & batting in the middle order.

The two most important qualities in a test opener are judgement outside off and being able to defend under the eyes to the moving ball, both of which aren't really seen in t20.
