*Official* England in NZ 2023

[nzfan]

To be fair Duffy is not yet 30 so doesn't qualify. Kuggs does fit the bill, he's 31

What’s this on? Tv one?

I think it's good we're bowling first. England loves chasing and if we bowl all right we can choose the tempo we want to play at.

Serious question as I feel uncomfortable about the Kuggggggjuglellelrapist situation as well.

He plays well. Plays the next 6 years relatively injury free. Is a world beater. Takes around 270 test wickets at 24ish. Including a massive series winning effort against Australia.

How do you feel about him then?

I still have no idea. Just wanted to see if anyone would look at this as “proving himself”.

A vile creep who poisoned my enjoyment of my favourite sports team.

No Will Young still and Nicholls to bat at 4. Looks like Southee traded having Kuggs for stead wanting Nicholls. Would have had young and duffy.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Simple. I'm not backing a team with that man in it.

**** him. **** NZC.

Put in to bat in a pink ball test. Could be grim.

The Beeb feed doesn't consider the selection of Scott Kuggeleijn controversial at all, because the whole affair never made the papers here. Just no mention of it at all.

Probably only get 65 overs in. 403/7 at the close of play.

 

[ataraxia]

It should be a selection highly controversial on cricketing reasons alone.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Larsen and Stead’s incompetent selections and preparations, combined with White’s hopeless short sighted running of NZC have killed my Blackcaps passion since the World Test Championship final … but selecting an actual rapist and giving him the honour of playing a test is the final straw. I hope England put 1000 on us in about 70 overs.

yyyyyikkes

kuggs can sometimes bowl at pace but a test debut at 31, tad bit late .... idk brejjin

tickner, lord have mercy

[Meridio]

Haha have we just put a fourth slip in after a catch went through there?! Follow the ball captaincy, classic.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Wags opening!
