*Official* England in NZ 2023

[Zinzan]

Yeah they suck too

They just suck, or they're immoral in your eyes for not taking a stance? that's Southee, KW, Stead etc...

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Both. They're all cowards.

 

[Flem274*]

southee robbed of best figures tbh

 

[Zinzan]

Both. They're all cowards.

Interesting, but you'll presumably still watch and support those said players (at least the seniors like Southee, KW who could have taken a stance) moving forward in spite of this yeah?

 

[Howe_zat]

Ugh. How often does the 'put them in at the end of the day' actually work?

Another one for the myths in cricket thread.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Second earliest first innings declaration in test history by England today (6 ball overs)

1. Pakistan 130-9 Declared vs England
44.5 overs 1974

2.England 325/9 Declared vs New Zealand
58.2 overs 2023

 

[Burgey]

Slightly off topic, but NZ's new PM really looks like Shaun Pollock

England got Mitchell Santner'd at the end of the day the last time these sides met at this ground.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Not in any match where a rapist is playing. Do these dumb questions have any point or are you just hoping to spring a big "gotcha"?

If Tom Latham was born in Asia we'd just think he's a HTB not a strange meme.

 

[Skyliner]

Tom will be looking forward to Hagley.

Yep and as a function of that, Richie C.

 

[CricAddict]

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

Yes. But how is it better than number 11 coming in, trying to hit a few sixes and add more to the total and getting out? With bazball, they have a whole lot of spare time too.

What speeds are the England bowlers? Look very pedestrian at the ground

Anderson's PEDs have a limited window of efficacy.

 

[trundler]

Really engrossing over there.

Also, Robinson looks like a lazily animated character from a children's book.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Robinson just gets wickets it's incredible, how on Earth did England not give him a debut earlier ? His record is just world class

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

[thierry henry]

Robinson looks slow enough for me to play live and Kane can’t lay bat on it

This is the type of bowler you need to Bazball..cause they have these subtle variations, and once they get into a rhythm you're in trouble especially against the new ball
