He seems to be a slow starter, because he has scored a lot of runs for Auckland and Canterbury. He is averaging 32, and was the not out batsman in the second innings of the first test.<br /><br />He also adjusts well, He has not got out to the same bowler twice in a match yet. It will be a fairer test of his skill in the second innings.<br /><br />As to other wicket-keepers, I don't think there are any better keepers than him in NZ and I include McCullum in that mix. Young let through no byes at the Gabba, and only one on that greentop at Hobart, Haddin let through 9 and 6 so far. He did drop a catch off an inside edge, and took a ball in the face, but as far as I remember those were the only two deliveries that he didn't take cleanly in the entire match (he actually took the one that hit him in the face cleanly too - off the rebound). There are other reasonable keeper-batsmen in NZ, McGlashan, Hopkins and I'm hearing good things about Latham, but I can't see any of them taking Young's test spot in the next few matches.Mykuhlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16821799061116228138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957117710153695243.post-75968782768360091732011-12-11T10:00:15.760+13:002011-12-11T10:00:15.760+13:00What's the deal with Reece Young?

We face the same problem when there are games in the West Indies, they start at 3am. It is not a sane hour to watch cricket.Mykuhlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16821799061116228138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957117710153695243.post-58436485897330676902011-12-11T04:53:29.160+13:002011-12-11T04:53:29.160+13:00Nice convincing analysis all around.

It's a pain to have to get up early to watch the match here in India, but I'll definitely be catching that first session (and feeling extremely nervous)Suhashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13529331211611984893noreply@blogger.com
