Rahul Dravid could get a recall......I remember falling asleep watching on the couch when he came out to bat then waking up about half an hour later and he was still on 0.......

@MN5 Hashim Amla was particularly adept at putting up the wall as well, e.g. https://www.cricket.com.au/news/3309826/amlas-record-breaking-go-slow-staves-off-defeat

Unfortunately I can’t see it getting better anytime soon - this isn’t just a one off bad summer. Most of them are like this now or similar.
And trying to hype up the village level Super Smash for Jan/Feb? Please.

We haven't played a test since December last year......we're not due to play another til December THIS year.
Windies are touring, should be a good chance for a number of our guys to pad their averages ( although the Windies have unearthed a few good pace bowlers of late ) but according to this we only have a total of THREE tests this summer ?
What am I missing ?

Windies have just rolled Australia for 180.
But yeah, we aren’t a viable commodity globally despite our results - and the ICC is a toothless tiger in dealing with T20 leagues. There should be international windows carved out (or franchise windows depending on your POV) Ala football - which is not a perfect system but international cricket risks dying if it keeps this up -

Seales and Joseph with 9 wickets between them. Great effort.
Their batting is another story, Kraigg Brathwaite has battled to 99 tests with a career average of 33. Says it all considering none of the others average over 30.

@NTA any reason Smith and Bus change aren't playing ?

Yeah if any country has struggled at test level due to anyone decent playing T20 it's them.
That top order is Black Caps mid 90s bad.

Damn right.
Legend at test level ( if a bit slow.....)
Check out this scorecard, I wouldn't believe it if it wasn't in front of me, did no one inform him you can't bat out a draw in an ODI ?
https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/alex-bowden-sunil-gavaskar-36-not-out-550658
Worth noting his overall record from 108 matches was 3092 runs at 35.13 at a decent strike rate ( for the era ) of 62.26.
So fuck knows what he was thinking during this game.
