There will be calls to make him Captain if he keeps this up.
He has the best Captaincy rating of the players in this team, he can save you some more runs in the field and get people Fired Up to start their innings.
Might be an option if you fail in the World Cup though Gooch is still churning out the runs and getting wickets.

New Zealand v England - 2nd Test - at Eden Park, Auckland - 1991/2

New Zealand lost their openers cheaply but star batsmen Andrew Jones and Martin Crowe found form in a partnership of 175 for the 3rd wicket.
Crowe was brilliantly run out by a direct hit from Matthew Maynard to end his innings on 76 before Jones went on to record an unbeaten 131*.
New Zealand declared 10 overs before Stumps on Day 4 at 265/5 setting England a target of 365 to win off 100 overs.
The declaration leaves all results in play given the rate at which England scored in their 1st innings and a large crowd is expected for the final day.

He'll have just turned 24 after the 92 World Cup and this is literally his 2nd ever series after the 'Brave New World' 1990 tour of the Caribbean. It would be a mad call this early.

@Welwyn

Stumps score Day 4

England 33/0 (A.J.Stewart 27*, M.A.Atherton 5*)

England require 331 on the final day off 90 overs.

The pitch will be a Good Batting Wicket for the rest of the match, the weather will be Humid and aiding Swing.

He is doing a Harry Brook on this tour, no one wants Harry as captain yet.

Lunch score Day 5

England 118/0 (43 overs) (A.J.Stewart 71*, M.A.Atherton 43*)

England require 247 runs in 2 sessions to win.

A bit slow but they might up the rate if Stewart gets to a hundred, we will see.
No need for Nas as captain yet, Stewart doing a fine job in his 1st match as stand in.

@Welwyn

Tea score Day 5

England 207/3 (75 overs) (A.J.Stewart 109*, M.P.Maynard 0*)

England require 158 runs to win in 1 hour plus 15 overs.

England lose 2 wickets just before Tea including Nasser Hussain for 0.

Probably not going to attempt this chase, I don't trust the tail to chase it down if we lose Stewart.

New Zealand v England - 2nd Test - at Eden Park, Auckland - 1991/2

The England openers put on 120 to get England off to a good start in their chase of 365 off a minimum of 100 overs but when Mike Atherton fell for 41 new batsman Robin Smith started slowly.
Smith eventually picked up the rate when he got his eye in and Stewart reached a hundred just before Tea but the loss of Smith and Nasser Hussain just before Tea seemed to end the chase.
Matthew Maynard was out cheaply shortly after Tea leaving Stewart and keeper Jack Russell to play for the Draw which they achieved despite the loss of Stewart for 137.
Russell and Derek Pringle batted out the last half hour to leave the match Drawn and the series still level at 0-0 and both teams hoping for a more bowler friendly surface in the 2nd Test.
In a match dominated by batsman New Zealand seamer Willie Watson was named Man of the Match for his 1st innings 5 wicket haul.

Here are the details of your next, a 4 day game v New Zealand A at Napier.

New Zealand A v England XI - 4 day match - at Napier - 1991/2

Pitch: 78 - This looks a rather scruffy looking pitch, hard but not entirely flat and probably helping the bowlers throughout.
The bounce may be erratic and by Day 3 the spinners may find the wicket becoming responsive to their art.

Day 1 Starting Pitch: 5 - Normal

Day 1 Weather: 1 - Hot and Humid (aids Swing)

Injuries: R.A.Smith - Back Trouble (miss 1 match)

Jack is in really good knick with the bat.

Certainly holding his place with his batting and his keeping to the spinners is much better than Stewart, will probably score as many as Ramprakash so you might as well play him.
Was crazy they didn't send him to India in 1992/3.

Here are the details for your next match, the 3rd Test v New Zealand at Wellington.

New Zealand v England - 3rd Test - at Wellington - 1991/2

Pitch: 43 - A nicely prepared wicket but the recent rains have greened it sufficiently to the suggest the seamers will relish the prospect bowling first on it.
Batting may be easier after Lunch on the first day but once the top surface becomes damaged the spinners may begin to find some grip and runs will be harded earned throughout the match.

Day 1 Starting Pitch: 6 - Green Wicket

Day 1 Weather: 7 - Heavy Cloud

Injuries: R.C.Russell - Shoulder Strain (miss 1 match)



Wellington hosts the 3rd Test between New Zealand and England in 1991/2
