    *Official* Pakistan in New Zealand

    Is this Hay? I said he doesn't look comfortable hitting from ball one in T20s or as a finisher. But clearly when he's in, he hits it as clean as anyone. Theres natural hitters - CDG the best example I can think of - and guys who can hit but it isn't their natural pace. That's Hay to me

    He's always had the ability, high 130s, heavy with natural out shape. He's just had great bowlers ahead of him and also probably the 1-2 bad domestic seasons in between great ones cost him at the selection table

    Anyone want to try and name a more non descript, unmemorable series than the one that is about to come to an end?

    Rotation is the name of the game in T20Is, it was probably decided a week ago.

    *Official* Pakistan in New Zealand

    I don't mind at all the idea of picking guys with a ton of experience behind them, post 30, to come in and contribute. Macewell has been a perfect example of how that can work. But they do also need to bring through the younger guys, which the selection of Ashok, Abbas, Hay, O'Rourke, Sears and...

    Hay is a long form player, he just doesn't have a natural extra gear for hitting that I can see

    *Official* Pakistan in New Zealand

    I think that would be a potential influence in someone making a squad over someone else, say if Young and Conway were fighting for a CT squad spot, but when they're both there I would think Stead is going with the guy who he thinks is the best suited to the conditions, is over 30 years old, and...

    Maybe they feel like Sumo, who continues to say 'he has hands like buckets' when in reality, he's dropped a **** ton of catches in the last 12-18 months.

    I would be very surprised if that played any part at all.

    T20Is summed up by the fact most of the posts in the tour thread were made by ashley bach pointing out idiosyncrasies in the score. Long may Tuesday March 18's match live in the memory of those who saw it

    I tuned into this Ali over, and I've honestly never seen a worse advertisement for cricket than this. What a putrid over

    He's like Seth Rance lite in that respect (I am not watching but I've seen it before)

    Most Handsome Cricketer?

    Well noone clearly took Rakheem's, but Sulieman Benn seems like one of those angry humans who got bullied as a kid, then grew up a lot and decided to hold a grudge against the world. Or was a pace bowler but got injured and had to make do

    Most Handsome Cricketer?

    Hard to beat Ish. 6 foot 2, good looking bloke, and about the best human you'd ever meet. Spinners tend to be the kids who got their lunch money taken, but not him Daniel Vettori was hard to explain in terms of being much better looking in person than on TV.

    If he wants to bat sensibly, and play formats that last longer than an afternoon nap, then he could very well play his way back into the SteveNZ XI, which I have no doubt he deeply desires.
