He's pretty unlucky with the Crohns stuff, hard to develop as a spinner constantly being out
Imo suffered from too many coaches telling him to bowl flatter, he's a delight when he slows it down. Also with being in and out of the team you want to keep it tidy when you get your opportunities and bowling faster gives you a chance to "get the job done". I think with McCullum he'll be told to have a gamble more and know his spot is safer.
Another who has kicked on in the environment created by baz and stokes, we need to realise these players are human and things like that matter. Quite a few in this side who you could legitimately state don't look international standard in the previous regime and now they've kicked on
You can look at how well the NZ side did for many a year under McCullums captaincy with players that don't spring to mind as world class, but teamwork and comradery can go a long way to help that sprinkling of genuine talent in the side. Nobody in that side epitomised it more than Neil Wagner, and I think England have built something similar.
Did I read that they're back at the same ground for the second test?
On that wicket and in that heat, rather be a batsman than a bowler.
An awful summer of rain and more rain, couldn't get a match and an innings going. First test abroad and put on a score for the record books going back 140 years.
Having said that, read that in the Root/Brook partnership, they ran 300 of their runs.
Think it'll take another day to break up and it'll be slow turn. It'll be a grind of attrition again, especially with Pakistan batting at a pedestrian pace.
