*Official* England in NZ 2023

[thierry henry]

There are so many park cricketers out there who can hit a length, how is our first class scene full of guys who have never heard of it

 

[SteveNZ]

There's no one beside Southee in this side suited to bowling with a pink ball at night

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Has yet to take a wicket in daylight test cricket in NZ since turning 40.

3 wkts

Top guts from Tickner, and the usual gutless clown show stuff from Southee - not willing to stick around to see a guy through to his 100. Thank goodness the 11 hung in there.

Yeah, really showed some tickner

I actually wonder if McMillan's suggestion of Mitchell isn't a bad idea

 

[Moss]

Churlish to bring it up after they just played their part with the bat, but Tickner and Kuggs in the same lineup has been a real head-scratcher of a selection.

 

[GIMH]

So much fun supporting this England team

He took them all at night

I don't care if people don't like Bazball, Get used to it The New World Order is here and England are STILL LEARNING and IMPROVING. We are dominating this shell shocked side who were test champions in 2021.

Yep, Duffy is a new ball bowler...why exactly wasn't he picked?

Feel like Southee just needs a sustained couple of overs at Crawley and he'll nick him off - problem is he's not getting that with runs flowing from the other end and Duckett taking quite a bit of strike

 

[chris.hinton]

Southee is a good bowler. But against these two he is cannon fodder. And lets see more of it

All well and good, but could you change the DP please? Spent a lot of time tracking Graeme Hick's career and hoping he'd finally crack it at test level, would prefer not be be reminded of it this way.

What do you reckon Chris, 5-0 win this summer?

Duffy was in the squad. Far more likely to bowl a steady line and length than Kuggs or Tickner.

 

[trundler]

Duckett looked a bit restless after NZ restricted the cut shot for him. Good plans

 

[theegyptian]

Lol these NZ commentators are so partisan

 

[chris.hinton]

He will be coached to do better by Baz. Duckett is on the road to being a world class opener.

 

[Moss]

Wow, Tickner actually strung a few good deliveries together.

Without doubt. The Australians will not know what's hit them and i will look forward to the Australian lads on the forums excuses

"Weather was crap"
"Pitches were not up to standard"
"Hazelwood was injured"

Things like that. Enjoy the summer guys
