*Official* England in NZ 2023

[Prince EWS]

Darryl Mitchell just about has more pace than Wagner.

Lets see if Conway can match it.

does David Gower have one eye higher than the other?

Brook needs 41* off 26 balls after tea to have an average and strike rate of 100

Ok so why tf did NZ play Bracewell in a 4 man attack? They remember how this song and dance went last time don't they?

If they bowl Wagner and Mitchell in tandem it could definitely be on.

Can Wagner retire mid-Test?

Can Wagner retire mid-Test?

Concuss himself whilst fielding?

I’ve long given up posting about Stead and his absolute incompetence, I mean it’s been going on for 3 years now. But is anyone surprised Wagner hasn’t been moved on? Stead along with Larsen have been ‘loyal’ to an absolute joke. Until Wagner hangs them up he’ll keep getting picked if he makes himself available

The thing I don’t understand is why that “loyalty” only applies to certain players. Young, Phillips, Ravindra, Patel et al certainly don’t receive any of it. And - even though I don’t think he deserved to be selected last match - the dumping of Tickner here a) doesn’t make any sense and b) is a cruel way to treat any player.

Imagine how this would've gone if England won the toss.

Second innings could be extra fun.

If they both Wagner and Mitchell in tandem it could definitely be on.

Like the great Roberto Duran, say "no más" and walk off.

I mean we're not done with this one, they're still three down. If this partnership cracks, Stokes only cameos, and we're looking at 320 all out.

Sort of surface with seen in New Zealand over the years and where they’re initially in trouble, say against Sri Lanka, before Kane and Watling have a 600-run stand. Root could make anything here.

 

[Prince EWS]

Brook doesn't have a first class double ton yet. On?

The good thing about being 153* is you're only 47 away from a double ton.

 

[Howe_zat]

Henry at least manages to get one to move back in to show there's still some seamy in this road.

 

[Prince EWS]

Oh man I thought he'd dropped that, would've been so brutal.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Me: Scotty Stevenson must have a good angle on that catch, it looked well short

Replay: it was well short

Maiden alert...

 

[Prince EWS]

How many times we reckon Brook will try to hit Mitchell for six this over? I'm going with two.
