    He could always be coming for Daz's spot https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=1;spanmax1=30+Jul+2025;spanmin1=30+Jul+2023;spanval1=span;team=5;template=results;type=batting Though ideally that would be Phillips.

    If you've got bracewell and santner, plus henry, thats a decent tail. I suspect its Duffy instead of Smith.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Experience is the only reason I can gather for it, with that experience being an asset for the tour of Aus which feels like what Walters is aiming for. I think there's enough time to blood someone new for that series, but whatever. If it's a "last chance saloon" pick then what does it say...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    The NZ lineup of recent times traditionally sees an injured or unavailable player replaced in their spot by the reserve, as opposed to an incumbent shuffling up. Ravindra has never batted 3 (or opened) so unless Walter makes a bold move and says "nows the time, we're grooming him for Kane's...

    Bracewell is replacing Phillips in the test squad

    As far as batting cover goes, they're both a step in the right direction compared to Nicholls. Like I don't disagree with you, but you'd hope they're not touring because there off somewhere developing over the winter in prep for the home season?

    Not bringing Mariu or Hay is just egregious imo. Ashok too when you think about it.

    Robinson and Jacobs have scored runs in recent times tho. 3 games probably a bit harsh to go on as however.

    Seifert with the goods again, and the shark has feasted! Really hoping Chapman comes up with a score because he really isn't taking his chances, is he

    I wonder what's happened behind the scenes because it does seem like he's made a concerted effort to be Not Terrible. Maybe a lack of mercenary gigs?

    Similar to Heef's dilemma, needed a seam bowler to replace those who will be graduating to senior this season, and I get this: Otago >> Jirani Kabatesi >> Details Player Info 16y0w | 22,892 rating | $908 wage (5% discount) Right hand batsman | Right arm Fast Talents Seam Specialist...

    Duffy going wicketless is a classic case of scorecard not reflecting the fact he was the most troubling seamer early on

    It'll probably be Chapman. I'm almost convinced the cost of flights influence selections sometimes.

    I have a lot of sympathy for Milnes career but at the same time, what are we gaining from persevering with him still

    Nice that we won on the backs of performances from two newbies. Good to see Ish back in the wickets and great that Duffy is really building on his good form. Did Seifert keep or was that a Cricinfoism?

    I think young and brash McCullum probably was a bit of a dick. Brand McCullum crawled so "earn the right" black caps could walk which in turn allowed the Williamson era side to run. Kind of a mixed bag - overall I think McCullum and Hesson changed the team culture for the better even if it did...
