*Official* England in NZ 2023

[The Hutt Rec]

Call me crazy, and I don't really know why, but I quite like Tickner.

 

[Meridio]

That was a really cracking delivery tbf. If Tickner could focus on that kind of line and length then he could be a handful...just doesn't have the patience or consistency though.

 

[NZTailender]

Again, not watching, but Tickner has apparently grown in confidence and control in this innings? NZs best bowler, or just a shade below southee

Root's 57 is the lowest high score in an innings of 320+ ever.

 

[Daniel CC]

Do England's central contracts have a minimum number of reverse sweeps a player has to make per year?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Root's 57 is the lowest high score in an innings of 320+ ever.

I'm picking Robinson to get 60*

 

[Daniel CC]

Bit of Cummins about him (Tickner)

 

[Skyliner]

Wags hunting a 4 fer.

 

[thundaboult]

Brilliant from tickner. His stock has risen considerably. Carried all that goodwill from the gutsy last wicket partnership to this. Kudos

 

[thundaboult]

Wags hunting a 4 fer.

He's hunting a double hundy

 

[thundaboult]

Anyways, eng heavy favs. Took the game away after we had em at 6 down.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Tickner has a fantastic tashe as well , feels like he's about to do a YMCA any moment now

 

[Howe_zat]

Seeing them apply the brakes to try and make it to sunset reassures me that there's method in the madness.

Valuable runs from Robinson in both innings.

Yeah this innings scorecard genuinely has a feel of a fake tour XI (XVI) game. Just look at it!

 

[Howe_zat]

England at 1.25 to win which you feel is worth it when historically teams set 360-400 lose - by my reckoning - 94% of the time (excluding draws).

I know it's not the hardest deck to bat on, but set against that is having to start under lights and England bringing a good seam attack that's taken their wickets at 17 so far this season.

 

[Flem274*]

Yeah England are a good session away from certain victory. It's not just about the pitch, gotta also account for 400 being a long way to go and NZ will need at least two night sessions.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Needed that 9th wicket to get the extra 30 mins and stuff up the dinner break timings for England

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Why is it that Robinson has struggled with the bat against everyone else, but owns NZ?
