Bloody Stokes just didn't want Wags to get his 5fer. WAC.

Wagner's motto in life must be "I get a licking but keep on ticking"

 

[thierry henry]

It’s much brighter now btw, and go figure…it’s starting to rain

Odds disagree with you strongly - NZ are out to 5.00 after having started the day on about half that.

There you go mate... quite predictable with this England side. I expected a little more from England but they never fail to surprise.

 

[ashley bach]

The psychological cheek of declaring on only 325.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Just a small point on the Kuggs selection & paying close attention to his teammates celebrations at his first wicket, clearly his teammates don't seem to feel the same way posters here do as they seemed genuinely smitten with him, otherwise the players (especially those senior) would have been made it crystal clear to the coach & the selectors that there would be a revolt from the others to boycott playing if he was selected, and he wouldn't have been chosen.

Yeah they suck too

 

[ataraxia]

Day 1 declaration is ugh

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Can Old Warhorses reach the Combined Milestone of 1000 wickets in next 90 minutes under Lights ?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Need 600

 

[CricAddict]

I don't understand the point of this declaration. Dumb.

 

[CricAddict]

Declaration is almost always pointless and very much in this case.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Probably think it'll do more under lights.

 

[Burgey]

The psychological cheek of declaring on only 325.

Not uncommon in D/N tests tbh if you're well into the tail.

 

[Zinzan]

Risky tactics from England, but if they can get NZ 23/3 by the close under lights, it's been vindicated.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Anderson about to turn 41 , still doing the business what an inspiration

 

[Starfighter]

Declaration is almost always pointless and very much in this case.

South Africa declared on 9/259 against Australia a few years back to have a short session. At least this is a better total.

 

[Adders]

Surely unusual declarations in the last session of DN tests is not uncommon?

You want 9 and 11 batting or to be bowling now?

Didn’t it end up biting them in the arse?
