*Official* England in NZ 2023

[Fuller Pilch]

Its a good move from England

No spirit of cricket award for Judas McCullum

 

[Adders]

They are absolute scum from top to bottom, why are we letting this slide?

?

The ways of bazball can be a mystery to non believers.

No, being a cowardly cheat and succeeding is the most normal thing ever. See: Australia playing sport

 

[Adders]

Broad to smash a 20 ball 50 tomorrow and oh will I laugh and think of TH lol

Calm down

Was just telling the missus what a terrible Christmas present this was, but I stopped myself. I had an ok time

Watching that night hawk was like watching a 4th grade club side sending out a player as a night watchman who probably is playing cricket for the first time outside of backyard cricket and knows squat about his role or knows it but can't help slogging ?

 

[Daniel CC]

England ahead of the game. But need 200 more at least.

Well yes this is what I expect. I take it you also hate cricket.

The best batting conditions should be day 4 if the test lasts that long although Leach might be a handful. The key is NZ getting through the evening session tomorrow relatively unscathed.

I still can't believe they screwed up that catch. Saw something similar in the BBL. A very good day for Blundell, slightly spoiled by that mix up. Glad they at least picked up a couple of wickets after squandering much of the night session.

Match ref should look into how it took so long to get a ****ing helmet.

It was Kugz’s fault. Ball nearly landed on his head.

We will be over 400 in front. Anderson, Robinson, Broad will be too hot on day 3/4 and bowl them out for around 250

More crying will commence

That drop was a shocker but thankfully it was Stuart broad. He'll be gone very soon I reckon so no worries.

Although most are thinking England are ahead I don't think so. Somehow we'll take few poles in the morning session or they'll throw away wickets. We'll likely have to chase no more than 250 or 275. It ain't be an easy chase but few of our top order missed out on the first inning, they won't in the second. I think we can comfortably chase 300 on this deck

I agree, I won’t cry though as I am deeply affected by toxic masculinity

The real Thierry Henry would cry

 

[thierry henry]

I’m just his very sad alter ego ok

 

[thierry henry]

End of the day, none of you English have dealt with your situation ?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Very hard to deal with being English tbf

I know Poms are pasty and white and burn at the hint of sun, but they should harden up. It will probably be low to mid 20s.
