I generally hate teams that are not that good but have arrogant fans.
You must hate the Phoenix with a passion..

I know basically nothing about them. Bangles fans are horrific. NEVER admit the other side outplayed them. NEVER give credit. Just excuse after excuse. Went down this rabbit hole in last years IPL when reading about Sunrisers. Lot of bAngles fans due to Shaquib. knobs the lot of them

Bloody helk. Did not realise Astle has only bowled 35 overs in total in his ODI career. Why are people picking him the CWC squad. Flavour of the month?
I've been wondering that too. I started to post something a week or so back but assumed I'd somehow missed something obvious about Astle in domestic cricket. Only advantage I can see Astle bringing over Sodhi might be his batting...?

Henry is so journeyman.

Don’t think I’ve seen a bowler who can vary so much, on one hand he can rip through teams on the other he dished up shit. Often in the same over..

I do think they need to accept that Henry is good (sometimes very good) for 6 overs at the top of the innings but that's generally it.
So who bowls his remaining 4? Perhaps he has to bowl a straight 10......?

Or dont pick a number 10 who cannot bowl 10.....

That would be my preferred option

We've got a batting line-up that could flounder us a world cup on their day, but I don't think we've got the bowlers - other than Boult.
Lochie is quick, but inconsistent.
Matt Henry can bowl a decent opening spell, but doesn't have enough variations to be a decent option at the death.
Neesh can't bowl a consistent line - he's straying down leg regularly.
Timmy's stats are very poor since the last CWC.
CdG is cannon fodder unless conditions suit him.
Santner is ok as a spinner, but he's no world beater in terms of taking wickets.
Ish can't bowl six good deliveries in an over - and hence is under pressure from Astle.

Probably your most accurate post ever. For the love of god Trent stay fit.

One small thing to count towards Henry is that he bowls up a storm in england.

That's not really true in white-ball cricket.
He bowled up a storm in the county championship, in the second division. with the red duke.
His record with the white kookaburra was mediocre.
Kent, 2018:
First Class: 11 matches, 75 wickets at 15.48
List A: 11 matches, 16 wicket at 34.33 (econ 5.55)I'd still have him over Southee though.
If I was to make a change, it wouldn't be Southee (or Bracewell). I'd like it if Milne returned, Ferguson and Boult to open, Milne to bowl first change and middle overs. All 3 capable of bowling at the death.

Who's our best bowler when it comes to bowling yorkers? Whoever that is, save them for the final 10 overs.
The BCs (and ground keepers) also have to accept that spin bowling is the way forward in ODI and T20s.

@Chris-B said in Black Caps v Bangladesh:
@Rapido Milne played a T20 game a few days ago.
Yeah.
I expect him to make the squad actually, but as 5th seamer (at expense of Bracewell).
My preference would be him in the starting 11, as I said above, if he is in reasonable form.
I have no idea where Milne stands in Gary Stead's pecking order.
