Well they're going to try him soon enough so we will see. He's never batted up the order. In the absence of Ervine, Williams and Raza they will most certainly try it
He could definitely bat 4 in a 50 over game and make a 💯

Really? We are far better in that format. We are a terrible T20 side.
There is just no stability in this side. Players always out injured and fear of getting dropped for a poor performance isn't the recipe for success
Only Welch, Kai and KLong have had to worry. The rest are there until Zimbabwe gets rain.

If he's our no 4 in 50 over the shit is way deeper than we possibly imagined. Again it sounds like I don't like him, I do, but he's not a no4 in an international side. May develop into one, but he's got a way to go.

20 runs short but at least something to bowl at. Their leggie bowled 2 overs at took 2 wickets for 8 runs.

Can any of the forum cognoscenti tell me who the most technically correct batsmen in the country are (old guard not included)?

Wess, imho, has been a failure of coaching. How can someone with so much talent and clear ability look so all at sea? Does no one discuss building an innings with him ever?

Hopefully that’s a sign!

Also, hopefully Burl gets Mavuta, and maybe himself in early. I’d bring a leggie on straight after the power play whilst they still have runs to play with.

Not sure who’s going to bowl the other two overs on the power play? Maybe Wellington I guess?

Innocent Kaia, Kazusa is not too bad either.

We need 3 wickets in the powerplay.
We haven't seen their batters fire yet. Delaney at 8 shows how strong they actually are.
