Latham is still young and has plenty of time. Guptill is just shit.
You're right on the money, Latham is *by far* our most promising test opening prospect since... well... Richardson? He needs to be persevered with, usually digs in impressively (or at least bloody well tries to).
Guptill might as well go for his shots. He can't play test cricket for jack... but without another opener standing up to be selected, him cracking a few quick fifties is better than nothing I guess.
Some people seem to be expecting a Kane Williamson ton every game.
Worrying though that when he does fail, our innings usually goes down this road.
I always dig at Anderson lately, the guy did at least occupy the crease last innings but he still looks generally pretty plod all around.
On another note, a guy I do always support, Neil Wagner would have bowled his ass off on this wicket. When conditions aren't in our favour we're so f*cking pedestrian, it would have been nice to have a lion hearted performer to call on. Henry non-selection also bizarre. Southee has done pretty much f*ck all since that epic 7-for. Surely it's time to give up on Craig too, Sodhi might have been interesting given his last performance.
Full credit to Australia who are giving us a royal lesson on how to play this game.
