*Official* England in NZ 2023

[RossTaylorsBox]

That and the rampant and obvious PED use.

Is it just a matter of time before Buttler makes his way back to this lineup? Surely does better than Crawley. I like Foakes but he could replace him as well down the order. Just seems like a very obvious fit for bazball.

it won't happen because england will be too good under lights but it would be absolutely hilarious if the All Conquering BAZBALL lost to this absolute shower of a bowling attack + Nicholls due to us just batting normally.

And it would show why Bazball should be situational rather than the only plan.

Bazball is a drug and England are addicted to its success

Kuggs' bouncers have been decent once in a while but his follow up yorkers are not only pretty poor they're also pretty much telegraphed

A lot less likely now he his white ball captain. They have Bairstow to fit back in as well.

There was an opener discussed at the start of the English summer. I forget his name, but did he continue his run scoring ways?

Just thinking about how to get Crawley out lol

 

[Pothas]

What. Stokes is the complete opposite of the 'look up at the scoreboard and he has 30 or 40' player.

 

[thundaboult]

ah so now they beat us with typicaltestcricketball

Haines? Got a double at the start of the season. Don't think he had an especially great time after that. Hameed actually had a pretty good year. The Ashes will do for Crawley.

Wagner currently has the worst test economy rate in a bowling innings minimum 10 overs .

Help from the fieldsman though who lacked situational awareness.
