New Zealand v West Indies
-
So, I would pick Santner if I was selector. You know what you'll get. Tight overs, keeping the pressure on while Wagner is banging in the old ball at the other end. Been a cog in an extremely effective bowling attack. (but played no red ball yet this season)
But as a fan I kind of hope they pick Young.
No logical reason for picking Mitchell.
I reckon they'll pick Mitchell.
-
@Rapido now that is an insight into the mind of madness lol
I agree that they'll pick Santner - but they should absolutely go with Young.
Taylor turning 37 this year! jaysus - I'm still nervy as hell about the ABs talent transition let alone that happening with the BCs!

Yeah. Jamieson changes everything for me.
Even puts CdG place in question IMO. And, I reckon CdG bowling is awesome. Question is do we need an allrounder anymore.
Santner's bowling in NZ has been
excellentpretty darn adequate.He's not going to spin us to victory on the 5th day. But he's been a big part of Wagner bouncing us to victory (as has been CdG). As I'm sure Patel could be, but he effects the batting balance.
Mitchell bowling with a 60 over old ball on a flat deck, I see as a big enough step down in quality from both CdG and Satner that I would look at a specialist batsman before him.

Just to complicate matters.....apparently Jamison is a handy batsman too. Possibly capable of batting 8 long term.
After his exploits to date, I'd be happy to have Kylo Ren taking a significant part in all our teams. The guy is a total boss

Extremely promising......but I don’t want him turning into another Doug Bracewell so let’s cool our jets a bit.

Wouldn't be able to find it if I had tried, but I believe from an article a month or so ago, that he may have found and extra bit of pace this season too

@Damo said in New Zealand v West Indies:
How did those 2 runs not be ruled dead ball? He just let the ball hit him and then they ran 2.
BMac and I thought the same.
Stevenson commentating that Jamieson bowled a slower ball when it was his stock delivery.
Just as well Ferguson is playing...
