Blundell being put back in is a shit decision his keeping is now below standard he is 35 now getting g old for a WK
Hay is much better with the gloves and bats just as well and the potential to be better.Is Razor advising selection for the BCs in the offseason?
It seems like it

We liked Blundell. Did his job. Time to move on.
Henry Nichols is feasting on runs in the Plunket Shield, he scored 3 tons in November and now a double century in their current game against Auckland.
On form and test numbers, he’s a far better option than Young as the reserve batter.
Seems like Duffy is being rested for the third test. Someone has spotted him running errands back in Dunedin

@booboo Can’t see with the what seemed like 100s of chances Nicholls got
Yeah don’t get that Nicholls has 9 test 100s one being a double,more than Conway and Mitchell
Young has 0 100s
I think I see the better player on results.

Come on now, he has 10 test centuries haha, but yeah, the guy has certainly overachieved in his career. Didn't think he'd last as long as he has/did when I first saw him at international level.
It's official, Blundell and Ajaz in. Duffy remains in the squad and Jamieson not called up. Kristian Clarke the 4th seamer.
The decision of Jamieson has to sit with the medical/conditioning team but Blundell's recall is gutless. I'm not even sure Blundell is our second keeper with Max Chu improving rapidly for Otago.
I believe this would be a 4th home test for Ajaz who is yet to take a home wicket.
At the time we hired Walter I thought Shane Bond was the better option and nothing he's done so far has convinced me otherwise.

Yeah i really dont get why they dont pick Jamieson. We have the Windies number its not like he would be facing 5 days of tough cricket.
If he can bowl nearly 30 overs in a domestic game why cant he bowl in a test?
understand why they went back to Blundell, im sure its only a matter of time before Hay takes his spot anyway.

The Windies have been here awhile and will already have one foot on the plane home. Not playing Jamieson for some easy wickets ( like you say, this one won’t go five days ) is ridiculous.
Hay couldn’t have done more either really.
The Nicholls one is a bit weird, obviously there is the view that he is a home track bully but he'd be playing at home against a limited team. Seems odd he's not there. Young continually blows chances to get the big score he needs to stamp his mark at this level of the game.

Yeah his record makes him a better player than Young who has 0 from 23 tests lets put the player in the squad who can't score a test 100 over the player who has 10 good idea lol.
If you can't see that then you are kidding yourself.
These stupid comments about a players who is 8th on the all time amount of test Hundreds is just laughable.

Young will also be covering as an opener, which Nicholls isn't.
Nicholls has opened in tests so that is not a issue.
They might as well play with 10 if young opens he will not do much with the bat.

Not according to cricinfo. He has batted from 3 to 6. The majority of Young's test innings are as an opener.

He has opened I was at a test he opened the batting due to an injury and Made runs,cricinfo also has wrong stats on players not a site to trust it is not accurate.

I think you must be thinking of an ODI. Nicholls has never opened at test level and cricinfo could not be more accurate in terms of stats.
yup the highest hes batted in a test is at #3 earlier this year in Zimbabwe (34 and 4*)
The rest of his batting has been at 4 and 5
he has opened several times in ODI's however.
