Santner is being rested. Was planned prior to the start of this series.
Look to be playing a similarly inexperienced line-up as last time.
I missed the first dozen overs, so never heard any team news.
Jaaps really putting our bowlers to the sword - not sure who's going to score the runs for us if Robinson doesn't!

Did he not pick up an IPL contract? Crazy.
@Canes4life Pretty sure he was renewed with whomever he was with - Mumbai?

Yes he did, so did Jamieson but he is playing tonight and leaves for the IPL tomorrow.
Yep. Cleaver lived dangerously for the first half of that last over. Seemed to then get through it.
@Donsteppa aaaaand he's gone

Yep. He was determined to give the South Africans enough catching practice.
Shit - the kingpin, Robinson, runs himself out.
Seems like The Neesh needs to show he's not a spent force - not convinced about our other options.

It's a terrible international top order.
Add middle order to this
@Donsteppa I think Clarke has promise for the future. Robinson obviously pushing for a top order spot.
The others look a bit short of the bar.

A terrible team all round so far...!

I worry that Clarke has slightly Poor Man's Finn Allen vibes, but hopefully he kicks on at the top level.
