*Official* England in NZ 2023

Here for Wagner to take a useless fivefer and keep him in the side for years.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

One of the ugliest innings you'll ever see ...

 

[Howe_zat]

Yeah that was crap.

 

[Brook's side]

if you insist on batting like a number 10, then bat number 10.

I had never heard of Harry Brook until yesterday. I was going past a pub that was playing cricket highlights and I thought WTF?

 

[Brook's side]

 

[Binkley]

Gosh, Blundell is slick behind the stumps.

 

[Athlai]

Macewell

 

[Howe_zat]

It's things like this that tell me off for being confident.

Maybe they're looking to declare half an hour after lunch and have an hour or so bowling before the rain arrives.

Alternatively, we'll be dismissed an hour before lunch for something under 400. Ah well, I'd still have taken this at 21 for 3.

Stokes has batted like a moron pretty much every innings under his captaincy.

Needs to stop it like.

 

[Athlai]

Bazball

 

[Pothas]

All the more reason for him to open.

Broad showing Stokes how it is done

 

[Athlai]

This is already more than enough runs for a first innings at the Basin tbf

Gosh, Blundell is slick behind the stumps.

He’s already surpassed Watling’s career stumping tally.

 

[NZTailender]

"Blundell now has 9 stumpings for NZ in Tests: 2nd only to Watling with 11."


Pick the country with a lack of decent spinners

edit: that random bloke on Cricinfo is wrong. McCullum has the NZ record with 11

 

[Binkley]

He’s already surpassed Watling’s career stumping tally.

I was just thinking he must already be close to the NZ record. Does anyone know what it is?

Edit: Thanks @NZTailender!

Broad showing Stokes how it is done

I definitely prefer that sort of shot to when he's paddling the spinners.

Here for Wagner to take a useless fivefer and keep him in the side for years.

under current management he’ll be there irrespective of that fifer
