I'd also like this, but Hairy Nipples is going to get a bit more of a run. Maybe next summer.
Chapman's knock in the Ford Trophy final was again epic.

Weren't you calling for him to be brought into the T20 side in place of all the other batsmen you don't like the other day?

I've never rated the guy LMAO. He shouldn't be playing any international cricket unless he improves significantly. Bringing him into the T20 side would weaken it.

are we dropping blokes after one early departure now?
nicholls and lord colin are being asked to come in and get on with it on a deck everyone has found tricky to get started on.
latham's fitness or concentration or whatever is unacceptable. he's been mentally disappearing after 80 balls for two years now. this is harsh but he and taylor needed to bat for as long as possible because of the nature of the deck and he got out and made it hard work for the guys after him.

Nah, CdG and Latham are still fine. Latham's innings tonight has taken some pressure off him. Nicolls on the other hand has never looked good, even when he's scored he's needed an early life or two to score runs.

Dammit, we're actually missing Astle's batting. Larsen gets the last laugh.

I think he's almost going to need to do this single handedly.

I rate Guptill and Taylor, I'm also fine with bit players who are good at playing a role for the team. Hence I'm fine with them failing here and there.

But Nicholls is the essential bit player

Nicolls is useless, he scores runs after the opposition have given him a life. If you look at any of his decent knocks, all of them have had one or more lives. Outside those he has nothing innings.
Nicolls isn't a free scoring player CdG or Munro either, both fulfill the role of scoring quick runs for the team and take scoring pressure off the likes of Guptill, Williamson and Taylor.
