*Official* England in NZ 2023

[nzfan]

Root and Brook batting so well out there. Top class knocks so far. There's still plenty in the deck but they've made our boys look pedestrian. Loving watching them both even if it's against us. Joe's cover drives ?

I hate every Bazbballer I see,
From Harry Brook
To Zaaaak Crawley
Oh you'll never make a monkey out of me

Oh no, I was wrong
Bazball was a kiwi concept all along

 

[Athlai]

I love you Doctor McCullum

That’s not true, I saw some Futurama memes as well.

This is currently the 6th best ever partnership from a score of 21/3 or worse

Brook is treating like Wagner like he just doesn't deserve to exist. It's kind of sad.

 

[Daemon]

NZ haven't even been that bad, it's just two trundlers getting picked off / slapped around, a situation they could've easily avoided with proper selection.

 

[Howe_zat]

**** me that flat-batted pull was vicious.

 

[morgieb]

This is just depressing from Wagner. It’s clear he still has the spirit, but just doesn’t have the energy for it anymore.

Bannermans one innings finds it way into so many record lists

This has gotta be Wagner's last test, right? Just getting absolutely pasted.

You would think so, but then you never would’ve thought that Bracewell would play 6 tests on the bounce while averaging 20 with the bat and 40+ with the ball, or that the selectors would pick a washed-up rapist over Duffy for a DN test. Like honestly, who knows at this point. Half expecting to see Sean Solia make his debut in the SL series.

Neil's been a contributor for us for a long time and I'm sure he'll be back to his full effectiveness around the same time Henry Nicholls score runs /SteadMediaComments

I read this as Wagner bowling to Wagner at first and I actually think that might be even more fun.

I could imagine Solia randomly gunning it like CDG at the highest level

Two good players who are now has-beens.

4th now

 

[Prince EWS]

Even most of the Wagner deliveries for dots/singles are getting absolutely drilled.

Crawley is just a ploy to make all the other English batsmen look good by comparison.
