*Official* England in NZ 2023

G. S. Kohli

International Vice-Captain
Well done England. First win in NZ since Southee debuted and a comprehensive way to do it. This is the best I have ever seen them bowl on NZ soil. In general, their rapid turning of results around is a tribute to their effort and ability.

I will save my NZ stuff for later. Suffice to say Conway and Blundell are absolute jets.
I bet you guys will crush Sri lanka in Multi format coming up with in 18 days

On a different note, when was the last time NZ won a home test series? Don't think they've won one in 2-3 years.

Had a look at Hayden and Cook’s records and much more even but obviously they never had to face those own bowlers
Hayden
Big 3 - 4835 @ 49.33 17 100s
Rest 3603 @ 50.73 13 100s

Cook
Big 3 6187 @ 41.52 14 100s
Rest 6285 @ 49.88 19 100s

Does world class=ATG? Cook and Hayden are way above world class in my book, understand if others may define it differently.

I know this match isn't supposed to finish until tomorrow night, but any word on when the squad is announced for test 2? There needs to be MAJOR changes. Bring in youth and promise them the Basin test and 2 vs SL.

Southee pretty lame in the post match comments…saying “probably could have bowled better” is verging on unprofessional. Not sure that player personnel changes will produce any discernible improvement with the current insipid set-up, though having Henry back can’t hurt.

Not much to say when you get beaten like that mate ..

Honestly I think all we'll just see Nicholls get replaced, and probably Kuggleijn if Henry is about again.

More wholesale change might come vs Sri Lanka.

Such a wonderful victory
Under the New Zealand skies
Calmly collecting runs and wickets
Kids and adults screech with joyful cries

In the English winter when it’s cold
The English lions warm us with their cricket gold

For the English, Ben leads us to glory
Let us enjoy these triumphant frequent wins
Exceeding expectations under Baz and Ben
Men in Oz await surrender under Cummins
As much as you **** on Thierry, at least he knows what a meter is.
