KW obviously comes into the side, but it's still saddening to know we're one injury away from having Nicols in the top 6.

tbf to Ryder, the pitches Essex plays on are hyper seamer friendly, and the ball swings loads. He's been very effective with the ball there, and has played some good knocks in the limited over stuff and back in NZ domestic.
It's probably fair to say that Ryder cbf and doesn't want to come back, but I think if he did he deserves a chance.

I think, he will always be terrible in Australia.

He's capable of cracking it up to 140s now. If he can keep that pace with reasonable accuracy, he'll be alright.

If he is, he will inevitably be over bowled and just get injured again.

Will be 137ish without much bounce.. Don't see that working. Happy to be proven wrong though. I am a fan.

I don't think is bowling style is necessarily suited to Australia, but I don't think he'll be terrible if he's fit. Last time, he had no business being on the pitch... it was painfully obvious he was injured, was bowling 110 kph. He may not get wickets, but he won't be demolished as bad as Yadav/Aaron imo.

Just finished the 3 hour marathon that was the msd movie. 7/10 first half 2/10 in the second with typical bollywood romance and all that drama. If they were going to be so inaccurate and dramatize it so much then at least make it inspirational like Iqbal. 3 hours that I'll never get back smh.

Again, not so much this season:, he only managed to take one wicket, which in addition to stinking up the joint with the bat, is probably why he only managed to play 7 games.

obviously he didn't get a score last night but Nicholls is worth persisting with at #5

Well that all went horribly wrong, from the inability to mop up the last few wickets (even if they're decent batsmen) to the awful batting. Horrid prods from Taylor and Nicholls. I thought the stage was set for a dashing Taylor hundred once I saw he was past 30 too. Guptill unlucky in truth, though my sympathy with his batting is long past exhausted. Ronchi out to another Jadeja lbw that was missing by a mile, though it sounds like he survived a closer one earlier and we're doing the pre-DRS umpiring-by-numbers thing this series.
Like a few here I thought the pitch might flatten out a lot on day 2 or 3, but instead the bounce was still (more?) inconsistent. Kumar bowling accurately with a little seam movement and taking advantage of the ball skidding through is perfect for this pitch. This reduces my hopes for Watling to hang around and Jeets to swing a few runs.
Need something extremely good from one of the NZ players to make this into a contest - somehow add another 150 runs here, or bowl India out for 100 next innings. Just your regular NZ cricket supporter fantasy then.

He's a marginal talent with a horrible technique, as of right now I highly doubt he's going to amount to much. Personally I think New Zealand are wasting their time with him but it's not like we have a ton of options knocking on the door.
