*Official* England in NZ 2023

[Howe_zat]

Not currently watching.......is bowling loose **** or our 2 just taking the piss?

He's bowling what he was doing in the first innings, i.e. 6 balls at the head from left arm over. Some of them were too far down legside but mostly England just decided to take the short balls on and hooked some sixes.

I am quite enjoying the commentary but it's a bit weird calling Southee economical. He's going at 3.42 which once upon a time would have been considered expensive in Test Cricket.

 

[BazBall21]

Flem changing his profile picture now?

 

[Adders]

Are you nz supporter?

Check the avvie mate.....no.

 

[Flem274*]

Kuggs in the 130s.

Word on the street is if you discuss life outside of cricket with him he gains 20 clicks. If one of you guys at the ground would like to do that we can test the theory.

 

[BazBall21]

The guy’s action does not lend itself to accuracy. He’s a **** version of Colin Croft.

 

[grecian]

these bats are going quite well, but not sure either are on #jessopwatch, disappointing.

 

[Gnske]

Oh dear god

 

[BazBall21]

Pope is frustrating

 

[Flem274*]

that's beautifully disgusting. imagine throwing your wicket away to a 37 year old who should be enjoying retirement.

 

[BazBall21]

Just got a bit more bounce in that one.

 

[Howe_zat]

Lol why are they reviewing it

That's frustrating as ****, Pope was all over him and the ball that got him was nowt special at all

 

[Essexboi]

That was always going to happen, I'm quite glad it did in a way. Massive England fan but **** off with your stupid batting. Daft tw*t

 

[Gnske]

I just want to watch Stokes play a stupid meme innings already

 

[Flem274*]

bazball will win the war against this wagner because he just hasn't had anything in the tank for the past 12 months, but you're never helping yourself by playing wagnerball. england should milk him for 6-8 runs or ignore it completely since im not sure he has those marathon 8-12 over spells in him either.

 

[Essexboi]

this is some seriously daft cricket. Flatter than flat wicket, every 75mph bumper is an event. Surely even in these crazy days we can just watch it go past our heads for half an hour.

 

[BazBall21]

Yeah not much nuance

 

[Fuller Pilch]

What is the most changes ever to a NZ test team (not counting tests played either side of WW2 etc)?

I live in hope that 5 players will be dropped for Wellington: Nicholls, Bracewell, Kugggleijn, Wagner, and Tickner.

 

[BazBall21]

This whole thing is so weird. Every ball is an event. Look at Wagner’s ER and they’re going along with it because this is how they can get wickets.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wagner's actually rubbish it's only taken 60 test matches for the flukeyness to wear off
