*Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

[ashley bach]

Y’all realise we are very bad and are definitely losing this series right

What? have you forgotten who the opponents are?

 

[straw man]

Weird patch after the two wickets. Thought NZ were in big trouble with two batters on 0(0) and England primed to take another wicket. Instead England's bowlers were loose and Nicholls and Conway were untroubled in putting together 24 off only 29 balls.

 

[_Ed_]

This is kinda frenetic.

 

[Moss]

Potts is the sort of bowler who should test Nicholls, he tends to be vulnerable against bowlers who go fast and fast and full.

 

[Chubb]

Dashed bad luck old bean. Not to worry, showing some pluck and ticker.

Nicholls gets dropped a lot doesn’t he?

Crawley looked very classy and composed diving across second slip to drop that catch. Born test player.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Pretty much the first dropped catch of the series: ya know it's gotta be ya boy Nicholls

 

[Shady Slim]

many people do not know this but slippery henry nicholls's bat is covered in vaseline which makes it harder for the fielders to catch the ball tbqh

 

[nzfan]

Haha... had to happen. Nicholls comes in and even the best catching form won't help. It has to go down. Unbelievable stuff. Nicholls batting blessed by cats lives every time.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Needs England to rediscover their usual catching form to get him on his way.

Time for HN to score a century now.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Time for HN to score a century now.

Still another 2 or 3 drops to come yet

 

[nzfan]

Nicholls gets dropped more times than he gets beaten usually. How does that happen every time? Maybe his bat angles are so skewed when he edges it doesn't give enough hint of an edge.

 

[nzfan]

Still another 2 or 3 drops to come yet

Test win guaranteed.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Nicholls gets dropped a lot doesn’t he?

For someone who scores a lot of Test runs, his Fourth Chance Average is certainly pretty low.

 

[Moss]

Broad’s showing the length to bowl on this pitch, been troubling Nicholls after dragging his length back a bit. NZ should take note.

 

[nzfan]

Brian lara like drive from Conway. That timing immaculate.

 

[thierry henry]

What? have you forgotten who the opponents are?

No lad I’m absolutely steaming but still savvy enough to hold off on posting (Stokes abuse) for like an hour after getting home and posting ruthless fax

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Did Nicholls get dropped again? Lmao

 

[nzfan]

Did Nicholls get dropped again? Lmao

Only once though. We call it business as usual if he gets dropped thrice, not yet

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Have to get through this Broad spell

 

[nzfan]

Broad is in the middle of a good spell. Has found some extra energy since the drop
