There is a game ftr. They're playing Mumbai at the Kotla from the 16th-18th.
After returning from the U.K., Neesham's bowling in some winter training squad sessions at Lincoln was "back to its best", apparently. Larsen is talking up third seamer duties for him, with the Fairfax writer then trying to paint that as mounting pressure on Southee's place.

Wow wasn't expecting that - seem's like a not Jeets zone (*They know better, they know better*). Hesson's loyalty is getting more tiresome than being subjected to Dave Dobbon's 'loyal' in El Horno at 2am ...
Agree with the comments re Ronchi - it's hard to see what long-term benefit there is carrying him in the squad while someone like Will Young is presumably in indoor nets in Palmy/some obscure English league.
At least (or at least not to my knowledge) Gav didn't predict Jimmy's subsequent injury after the first test like he did before the Aussie tour. Perhaps that good series he had in the WI against spin counted in his favour?
SURELY there is no way that Wags can miss out.. On the 'all-rounder' front there's a legitimate argument - to pick Craig at 7 on the basis of his batting and the "potential" for his bowling - guy is averaging in the 40s (in both disciplines lol) I recall Hesson stated this as justification in the more desperate stages of the tour of Australia

Not this time, I'm positive they'll go in with the 3 seamers and 2 spinners (including Santner). Well they better **** do.

Yeah I was thinking Santner was like Goofy, in that it's hard to get people to come to a consensus on exactly what he is.
Larsen even explicitly says three spinners, so yeah, Fairfax's speculation was fair -

Hesson practically said a few months ago Neesham wouldn't get back near the test side unless his bowling improved from what it was leading up to that Austtalian tour. I have no doubt he'll play come the first test and bat six.
Neesham
Watling
Santner
Sodhi
Southee
Boult
You can lock that in IMO, especially after what Larsen said yesterday.

Vettori was pretty much useless in that game IIRC, apart from a gifted LBW.

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
So Southee dropped and Wags 3rd seamer as usual, maybe?
