    Nice to win a meaningless T20 series no one will remember 2 weeks from now… but seriously how good is Henry across all 3 formats now

    I’ll have forgotten two days from now…

    Matt Henry’s improvement across all formats is inspiring stuff. The numbers are excellent across the board.

    Still got quite a few years left in the team provided injuries and form don’t become issues for him.

    Considering until fairly recently he was pretty much a spare part if Southee/Boult/Wagner broke down he’s done so well to get where he is

      One of those players where stats and a bit of luck finally swung the way of talent that was always there.

          Southee made a career out of chucking pies from start to finish.Now he is teaching the English bowlers not sure what though.

              Black Caps captain Tom Latham has been ruled out of the first test against Zimbabwe after suffering a shoulder injury.

              He would have been hoping to finally get his first century since 2022.

                Breaks an impressive run for Latham too
                its the first test he has missed since 2014..
                He had played 88 successive tests
                The Black Caps record is 101..can you guess who it belongs to? (without cheating!)

                      So McCullum played ALL his tests in a row without being rotated, injured or dropped ?

                      That’s quite impressive I must say.

                        Here’s my XI for this game

                        Young
                        Conway
                        Ravindra
                        Nicholls
                        Mitchell
                        Blundell
                        Santner
                        Smith
                        Henry
                        Patel
                        O’Rourke

                        KW not being there leaves a fucken chasm at 3….no Latham fucks the batting order too but in saying that they should put these chumps to the sword 2-0

                          Ok I was one off, Bracewell in for Patel.

                          Very strong batting line up, maybe a pace bowler short. Nicholls listed at three.

                          Would like to see a shitload of runs from the much hyped Ravindra

                            Looking forward to a scratchy 30 from Nicholls

                            Disappointing Duffy isn't getting a run.

                              Henry, 2 chances created, 2 taken in the slips.

                              Plus a bunch of mishits and edges that went to ground.

                                    Not long ago the sight of both Mitch Santner AND Michael Bracewell in the same team would have filled me with rage.

                                    One of them certainly came right at this level, let’s see if the other one can.

                                      It really is a shame they didn't use this as an apportunity to give an up and coming player a chance instead of Nicholls.

                                        67/4 at lunch. Feel like we're a batter short with Blundell coming in an 6. Probably won't matter.

                                        Henry with 3 of the wickets. Doesn't have a 10fer in his career yet - they're pretty rare for NZ bowlers not called RJ Hadlee. Maybe this test?

                                        I hope Patel gets a run in the second test - he's close to 100 test wickets, none of which have come at home yet.
