Looks like the spinners Ashok and Van Woerkom got smashed, going at 10 an over with Brook particularly severe.
I was just reading Mark Richardson's book 'Thinking Negatively' and he discusses how he got the yips as a spinner. This came to a head when he was picked for a NZ XI against England also at Seddon Park and sent down a series of full tosses and long hops. That pretty much was his last first class game as a spinner. Yet his economy rate was actually far better than what Van Woerkom and Ashok endured, going at just under 6 an over. And they probably didn't bowl *that* badly.

plus it isn't neccessarily the pasting but your own satisfaction with your bowling in my experience. everything is coming out wrong and no matter how hard you try you can't fix it and it spirals.
ashok actually looks a good bowler tbh and he's still so young. van woerkom looks a bit more pedestrian but his development is severely curtailed by the state of our domestic cricket.

They're probably drunk, like I would be l if I was playing.
If it's flat as ****, why not score at 6 and a halves?
As I've said before, I find it refreshing as hell that England are playing an approach that is purely around winning the next Test and entertaining, with no interest in 'building' towards the Ashes. Even their media is now focused on the here and now and what crazy **** might happen on day 1 of the upcoming Test, rather than 'how this pertains to playing Australia'.

Yeah disgusting play. Where is 'see out the first hour'? Where is 'no run there'? Where is the self abegnation of a day of toil at 2.5 runs per over?
England just don't get it. Terrible.

I see Young is listed to bat at 3 for the NZ XI, I think that's ok.
W O'Donnell's game is pretty similar to Crawley imo, tall-ish and stays leg side of the ball, thwacks it but a big risk to both edges and getting bowled through the gate.
Cumming very young but would be great experience if he can hang around for 50+ balls.

The worst part about all this: the first 3 days of the Basin test have completely sold out before I bothered to buy a ticket.

I've got tickets for the Mount. I'll just face the other way and refuse to applaud any of their 100s.

I want to say "this but unironically" but I'm not sure if there's intended irony in this succession of truisms delivered in a vaguely sarcastic manner.

Handy start from Cumming. Shame it will be another 11 or 12 years before the NZ selectors consider him

Whatever it takes!!!
Cumming started well, you say?

Last time I checked, Viagogo is an absolute crock. An abyss with ripping off people at the core of its design. I'd rather have a go at hopping the fence and gifting Cricket Wellington $100 than buying a ticket from there.

Looked really good up until that ugly swipe on 48 to be dismissed.

Yeah, I'm just gonna keep an eye out for people selling tickets on Trademe and hope for the best. If I can't get tickets, well there's always the NZ v SL test in March.

With you on that. So rare that I miss a Basin test though. Hopefully it makes it through to Monday and I can pop in for some Basin action.
Will be aiming for the weekend of the SL test otherwise though. For sure.
