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

[Pothas]

Love Leach embracing the new era with 0 (9)

 

[straw man]

First Innings Points!
Moral Victory!

 

[_Ed_]

Jeez, look at Bracewell - averaging 49 with the bat and 20.67 with the ball.

 

[Pothas]

I guess it will sort itself out eventually but we can't really have this as a lower order for long.

 

[Meridio]

Hey look what can happen when you give your spinner a bowl and the batsmen are looking to get after them. Whyyy didn't we give Ajaz a go last week?

 

[jcas0167]

Nice captaincy to persevere with Bracewell.

 

[91Jmay]

Nah I am happy with this morning batting. Stokes was OTT and dumb yesterday but 60 odd quick runs and a decent bowl at them before lunch works.

Root shot to Southee showing his fury at his IPL snub.

Ball doing a bit, Leach hopefully can get a bit more out of it 2nd dig. At least be a part timer spinner type

Bracewell

Batting av: 49
Bowling av: 20.67

ATG allrounder

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

What if he bowls us to victory tomorrow?

 

[Meridio]

England been very cavalier this morning and it's cost them a lead. Sure it's basically parity but a few more brains applied and they could easily have got through to a decent lead and then scoreboard pressure comes into play. But I suppose that doesn't gel with meme cricket

 

[Starfighter]

Guessing we can kiss goodbye to Ajaz's test career now.

 

[Aritro]

If Stokes had executed his excellent plan of going the tonk at 200 runs behind, they'd be 150 ahead

 

[Woodster]

Don’t think England will be too disappointed not to get a lead, the ball has done enough this morning to encourage them and maybe pick a couple up before lunch.

Still sure to play vs Pakistan

 

[Meridio]

Also, how bad are people at reading pitches? Everyone saying spin is not a thing here, it swings around corners etc - yet here we are with a part-time offie getting decent turn and bounce and looking dangerous and it's only morning Day 4

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Possibly a perfect morning for us. Got close to their score and get 2 bites with new ball in good conditions. Pressure on NZ as we see it often after 2 big scores the 3rd innings has more pressure and we know what pressure can do to a batting line up.

 

[Bijed]

Yeah, that was basically ok. Tail not adding much was expected so whilst it's a shame not to get a lead, can't moan too much. I mean, I don't think it's enough overall but that's not this morning's issue

 

[Flametree]

Somehow I never feel confident when we start a third innings about level...

Bad captaincy not bowling him earlier yesterday when nothing was happening.

England go into a huddle, seems as though Alex Lees is giving the talk.

That's a bit random.
