New Zealand test squad announcement


Robinson and Overton are horses for courses but the former certainly deserves a chance. I suppose with Archer and Woakes to return, it's unlikely we'll be seeing either come the winter.

Bracey, from the small bits I have seen, looks a good talent but I'm not sure we need to be blooding another keeper-batsman at the moment.
 
On a related note, the Edgbaston test has been given special dispensation to be a Covid pilot event and capacity set at 18k instead of about 5k-6k. I might still get there for the Saturday yet.
 
What do we reckon the team will be then? Do I count 4 openers in the squad? Seems a bit excessive - assuming they'll put Crawley at 3 and it's 2 from 3 for the openers slot

Dom Sibley
Rory Burns
Zak Crawley
Joe Root
Dan Lawrence
Ollie Pope
James Bracey (W)
Stuart Broad
Mark Wood
Jack Leach
James Anderson

Bit of a long tail. Any of these bowlers bat a bit?

Olly Stone
Haseeb Hameed
Sam Billings
Ollie Robinson
Craig Overton

The talk is that Robinson will play, probably at the expense of Wood
