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

[91Jmay]

Almost wish that was out for the meme of arm before wicket.

 

[Moss]

Turning out to be a pretty respectable debut for the latest Bracewell to turn out for NZ

 

[91Jmay]

Foakes looks horrendous here. Walking wicket.

 

[91Jmay]

Wow that is a terrible drop.

 

[Groundking]

Embarrassing fielding efforts in this test

 

[91Jmay]

Swann the ****ing moron reckons the fact he has the pads on still from fielding in close made a difference. He isn't wearing them on his hands

 

[ashley bach]

Hmm, maybe Stokes was actually genuinely trying to generate a win instead of settling for a draw.

Conversation heard between McCullum and Stokes after Bairstow got out.
Brendon: mate we're only a mere 200 behind, there's no time to start off poking like your last shitty innings, go hard from the
word go, then keep going harder, we're only thinking of winning this.

 

[91Jmay]

Bracewell legit causing havoc, Foakes is a pretty good player of spin but his line and length is terrific. Should have got overs at Pope for sure

 

[grecian]

Oh Root is guaranteed his 50 average now isn't he?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

1000 runs in the match.

Current run rate 4.20

Trying to force a result or something?

 

[grecian]

Lead under 100, and Joe 150, we can relax again a little I think. Hopefully he can score about 270 not out and get himself firmly into the 50's average-wise.

 

[Howe_zat]

If NZ find themselves trying to set up a target this could be the highest-scoring five day game ever

I think the record is this 1764 runs from 1970, which must have seeemed freakish at the time

 

[grecian]

Now that stroke was, as they're saying very KP.

 

[MW1304]

Root's good int he?

 

[Bijed]

I think the record is this 1764 runs from 1970, which must have seeemed freakish at the time

Runs aggregate aside, that looks like quite a match!

 

[GIMH]

Root's good int he?

National treasure

 

[Uppercut]

1000 runs in the match.

Current run rate 4.20

Trying to force a result or something?

It’s just McCullum’s philosophy I think. Mental benefit of always playing without fear supposedly outweighs any tactical benefit to batting slowly in certain situations.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Someone in the crowd from the Green Army. That shoes off thing is a regular tribute to our manager Steven Schumacher.

 

[91Jmay]

If we can get till lunch tomorrow scoring at a decent clip then suppose the 2nd session will decide whether a result can be forced or not.

 

[Uppercut]

Boult has been the game’s best bowler by miles. Bit unfortunate only to have 3.
