*Official* New Zealand in England 2021

The LBW ball. Look at the way he's slanting the ball. He's shaping the seam towards the slips, but the rough side is towards the on side.

There is no reverse but the point is the ball looks like it will swing out but it won't because the rough side is on the onside.

The LBW ball looked like a classic LO cross seam delivery to me... Trying to hit the leather to ensure the ball does not move extravagantly either way and hoping to defeat a batsman who is playing for the movement.

Can we bring Jamieson back for another spell and keep CdG keeping it tight?

Just feel like Jamieson will be too tough for the tail to handle.

Slope likely. That's the thing with Lords. The slope is so much the fielder at covers can only see the head of the deep mid wicket fielder.

Probably the last over from Southee there, wonder if we'll give Santner a go.

(no)

Give Santner a go. Surely helps if he can pick up couple of cheap wickets and that'll save me an egg face

Reckon it wouldn't be the worst call; Robinson strikes me as someone who couldn't resist the carrot if it was tossed up.

Perfect for Wags or Santa tbh. Not the players you want to attempt to break the shackles on.

Robinson probably frees up a squad position?

Well I hope they don’t drop him over ancient tweets when he apologised immediately. Should have taken a 5-for first innings but for clown antics from Broad

He's banned mate

KW and Hendrix. Great minds.

Yup, confirmed.

Yeah that was my thought, but KW never a huge fan of bowling spinners.

Was expecting to see Wagner though. And there's a heave from Robinson, could be fun

Can’t find any info about banning him maybe I am
looking in the wrong place. If they want him out he shouldn’t be playing right now. Either continue to play him (including next test) or immediately remove him

 

[Athlai]

Robinson here for a good time not a long time

 

[Moss]

Think it’s pretty clear CdG’s bowling its usual reliable self, though he looked terrible with the bat (which is usually the case when he gets out defending anyway). Probably puts him ahead of Mitchell in the queue though will need runs from him.

Was sure this was confirmed but it might just be reported as likely at this point.

 

[Athlai]

Neil Wagner would be a great Bond mini-villain. Just has a great serious yet brimming with rage look about him.

 

[social]

Jamieson is a fine bowler but I reckon that he’s just rolling his arm over at 135

Wouldnt surprise me at all if he cranked it up to 145 one day in the same way that Garner did

Fmd he'd be the best bowler in the world

Burns is on 7 off 60 balls this session. It’s like watching Lara on steroids. Strike rate 11.66666
Actually I’m wrong he’s made 10 off 60 balls. Still slow though 16.67 SR
