***Official*** England in New Zealand 2018

[flibbertyjibber]

After England's better showing in the last innings, and conditions looking good for batting later on, it's the perfect storm for a big daddy hundred from Joe Root. 150+ kind of stuff.

Hope so

vince is going to ton up today if he can cope with the wagner question

He's due isn't he, and he'll love this wicket after it's had sun on it for an hour or two.

Without wishing to state the obvious, Sodhi would've been a more effective prospect had we batted first.

If England can be no more than 2 down at lunch, they'll be in a prime position to boss this game.

Again, not being captain hindsight here, I thought bowling first felt wrong as soon as I saw the wicket wasn't a green top.

Wouldn't go that far, but yeah, wasn't thrilled to here us bowling first when we won the toss.

Southee bowling from the wrong end here, the breeze is going to be negating his natural outswing.

No chance, will give it away in the 30's.

 

[Zinzan]

Is this like how England won the odi series more than the actual result?

Lol, how are those two things the same?

Vince was a star in England u19s team at the 2010 u19 CWC in New Zealand along with Root and Stokes. Think he enjoyed the facilities in New Zealand back then.

 

[Senile Sentry]

Why don't they make grounds like these anymore!

 

[Immenso]

Why don't they make grounds like these anymore!

They do. This ground is only 4 years old,

 

[Zinzan]

University Oval in Dunners is another innit?

 

[Senile Sentry]

Lol I think England would've been better with Overton.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

**** off Vince.

 

[vandem]

But it was a nice looking 18.

 

[Bahnz]

Yup and Mt Maunganui Oval only been upgraded to an international venue about 3 years ago as well.

Vince gonna Vince.

 

[BeeGee]

Interesting that CdG is getting more movement than any other bowler.

He's bowling slower.

 

[SeamUp]

Can you get a more typical Vince innings

 

[wellAlbidarned]

this is the first time in a long time I've genuinely enjoyed watching southee bowl without just waiting for boult or wagner to come on

 

[Bahnz]

Not sure what Vince was doing playing so far inside the line of that one. It's not exactly swinging around corners.

 

[Athlai]

Lol, how are those two things the same?

Perceptions vs results

 

[Athlai]

They do. This ground is only 4 years old,
