*Official* England in NZ 2023

[straw man]

Can they score 800 by lunch before declaring?

The good thing about being 315/3 is you're only 485 runs away from 800.

That's one of the best hundred I've watched in a while. Top class stuff. Given the conditions and from the situation when he came into bat, Top draw

I assume you're referring to Root's ton and not Wagner's.

Taking ‘risk a loss to win’ to the nth degree

Is it still 70/30 NZ?

Sorry, just having you on. I can't believe our bowling selections (again!)

Stead after play: "We stayed in the fight, kept them under 5 an over on a greentop, and landed some punches. A good first day".

I'm actually looking forward to the mental backflips he'll perform.

"We were in a dominant position early on and won the first session. If we had a bit more luck we'd have had Brook and Root out much earlier but credit to them they took their chances. We've got a great group of players and we'll come back tomorrow with fresh plans"

These covers don't look waterproof lol. Like a giant sack laid out over the pitch.

That's a fun bet. Cricketers have to do so much more than footballers to win it though.

Not going to get in a big argumemt about this, but not sure footballers have done much better than cricketers in SPOTY 6 versus 5.

Young's fault. Dropped.

That's the hessian to stop it sweating, they put a plastic cover on top of that.

Haha it pretty much is the same **** they make sacks out of. Waterproof covers go on top afterwards.

 

[straw man]

Yeah it's sacking, hopefully they'll put Stead & Larsen in it

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Need Brook in the next 3 or 4 overs or else he could really take the game away.

Wagner is getting hundies every game.
