*Official* England in NZ 2023

[Prince EWS]

Technically we're saying we are **** at batting so we will have lot of batting cover but we have very good bowling attack in Southee, Henry, Kuggs and Bracewell... In my opinion if 6 batsmen can't do the job then 7th won't do much either.

Wagner's playing, not Kuggs.

Sorry what am I thinking... can't get Kuggs out of my head

If @SteveNZ doesn't apologise to Conway before the first ball I may have consider banning him.

400 in 65-70 overs today.

New Zealand Bowlers don't have the class

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Can we start with a maiden? Getting excited

 

[Brook's side]

colour of that pitch lol

 

[Howe_zat]

We could get properly owned here. Green pitch, put into bat, experienced Test seam attack in their home conditions, if a weird spin selection.

 

[chris.hinton]

Maiden....a rare feat vs England. Don't get too excited

Bazball is dead.

It'll probably still be called easy to bat against if England come good though.

Duckett will hit boundaries

Basin generally roads up a lot after the first session

Seamy road.

The colour of the pitch in NZ does not work like it does elsewhere.

Green = pace and/or bounce. Yellow = state highway.

Was Tickner over hyped a bit?

***after approx one session

The key is to win the toss and bowl first. Easy.

I think we're gonna regret picking 3 bowlers. I don't think we'll be able to capitalise on a good bowling deck early on.

No lol, he was underhyped if anything. No-one here rated him and he went alright.

No one hyped Tickner.
