Damn it.

Do it Stokes, scream into the mic

Or, you know, get the other guy out.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Gutted.

Amazing series from Mitchell.
And this Potts is a real find for England.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

What a series. Hope he gets a five-for (in defeat) with the ball.

 

[straw man]

Ah damn.

Was about to comment before that the first ten overs of this new ball had been quite challenging, even without exaggerated movement in the air or off the wicket. Broad and Potts were very good. This pair had been very watchful to try see that off, also to give the next man in a better chance.

Macewell struggled against with the pace last time he faced the newish ball.

Just ran the numbers before that dismissal:



Mitchell and Blundell = 1785 balls faced this series so far
Rest of NZ's batters = 1651

 

[Fuller Pilch]

13, 108, 190, 62*, 109, 56
Amazing series

 

[Aritro]

The quality of the Poms' 14th and 15th choice bowlers really is impressive

Trent Boult averaging more than all the top 5!

Flight it a bit more Jack

clearly his and Mitchell's time spent at the Rajasthan Royals has done wonders for their batting

 

[Moss]

Hope Blundell plus the others can stretch this lead to 300 now. Macewell looks very vulnerable against Potts though.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Need these 2 to bat sensibly and hang around for an hour then one of the tail to come off like Broad did yesterday.

 

[straw man]

Wondered if Bracewell would try hitting Leach. I guess that's our answer.

Tbh it's probably one of his better scoring options given struggles vs pace.

 

[_Ed_]

Wtf Bracewell.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Was that necessary?

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Need these 2 to bat sensibly

I don't think Bracewell is reading your posts.

 

[Moss]

A very NZ test no.8 innings from Macewell. Hope he can live up to that billing with the ball.

 

[straw man]

Hitting straighter like the first one surely a better option - that was little more than a slog.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

A 31 year-old 1st class captain who is a batsman. What a waste.
