Legend catch? Lots of ground to cover? What?

That was a regular village cricket catch! I don't think the situation is there to get carried away any longer, guys!

The point is he scored a lot of runs in shield cricket, got minimal test opportunities while continuing to score runs in warmup games throughout the Ashes series, and earned the right to be the #1 replacement batsman. Fair enough if you don't rate him but he's not being picked based on random guesses about potential or whatever, and people tend to assume he is because he's been in and out of the team so much without ever properly securing his spot (despite playing a handful of excellent innings) and because his overall shield record is poor.

I don't rate him because more than 40% of his test innings result in single figure scores, he has a very moderate fc record, he is middle aged in sporting terms , he is a moderate fieldsman and there is at least one batsman in his shield team that is an exponentially better batsman than him who cant get a game

Other than that, it's all good :laugh:

Don't know what it says to him to bat him below a keeper who isn't picked for his batting. Think it's less 'have a bit more freedom' and more 'you're ****'. Best way to become a middle order player is to learn on the job surely

Just hope the selectors force McCullums hand here and not select Craig. I get why he's picked but not why the skipper would bowl him when he does

I've often thought this series it doesn't really suit Watling coming in at 7 when he has to bat with McCullum, Craig and Southee dashing at the other end. Mind, he hasn't really got the runs this series for it to ever have been an issue.

I suppose it's quite good to scatter your aggressive players though.
