Aha. I also hadn't noticed that Keemo Paul is listed in both test and T20 squads (similar to Hetmyer) - so I assume they travelled from quarantine to Auckland with the other T20 players, instead of playing the 1st warm up game in Queenstown with the rest of the test squad + test reserves.
Yep. He's probably the best swing bowler we have but he's so short on FC cricket this year it would be a huge risk to play him.
yeah, I remember at one stage I considered him potentially Root/KW/Smith/Kohli level
I saw that, but signed up anyway ... it'll be interesting to see the quality/delay difference.I signed up to Spark Sports for this but I've just found out today's game is on TVNZ anyway
Yes in that it's a streaming service, but no in that it's not run by Sky who has traditionally done the pay tv/satellite cricket coverage here ... this is a new company that is streaming only. Sky lost the rights.
There's a week free anyway
I used that on England West Indies haha
Don't disagree with anything you say there but worth mentioning that Darren Bravo's away record remains impressive. Averages over 50 away from home which is better then 3 of those 4 you mentioned. Just a shame he hasn't done well at home, not always had the surfaces where you'll comfortably average 55 at home but even if he could turn an average of 26 into an average of 40 at home that would improve his overall record massively. Just done the sums myself and a 40 home average would get his career average up to 44.81 - not on the levels of those you mentioned but a very solid record nonetheless especially in a struggling batting lineup.
