Henry Nicholls.
You can always rely on him to get a score when we’re all calling for his head.
He’s at home and its only Bangladesh
Yes, but I’m not wrong.

I’m not either. Admitting you’re wrong is a sign of weakness.

Hard to believe Ravindra only debuted this year. Brilliant to watch.
I’m assuming you posted this while stuck in roadworks.
Stuck in our room watching the cricket next to the open ranch doors with a kingfisher and burger rings looking out over the pool and beach. Really regretting the trip.

What do we gain from playing Nicholls in this series over Finn Allen?
30 something off 20 balls is great in T20 but not so much in ODI I would guess is the thinking on our gain. His strike rate is actually below 100 and av of 27 in ODI (0 hundreds and 5 fifties). He's had a fair go too with 21 innings.
The chances of FA getting 95 at a run a ball yesterday would have been quite slim whereas Nicholls record at home is very good, as has been well documented on here. His failings abroad equally so.
Would have been one of the easier selections I reckon.

You could argue that about anyone not named Don Bradman ( and I’m not sure what is strike rate was )
I remember catching an interview on the wireless with Ross Taylor about the mental side of playing a sport where, let’s be honest, you fail more than you succeed, in his case for every massive score there’s a few shit ones to get the average in the mid 40s.
But yeah, back to Nicholls he’s at home and Bangladesh aren’t really the best travellers. His position is reasonably safe one would think.

Ha. Take whole sentence. It was a comparison with Nicholls chances of doing the same, which were less slim based on historical performance.
Read with the usual financial advice caveat about past performance and guarantee of future performance.
Bradman had a shit ODI strike rate by the way.*
*it could also be infinite but I went with shit.

Terrible ODI record and didn’t score in the subcontinent. Give me Tendulkar or Kohli any day

At least that's branching out from the typical kiwi butter chicken.
