*Official* England in NZ 2023

Why must you turn this thread into a house of lies

True that I thought they would but then they went for a drink... disappointing

 

[Adders]

Lies.

WAC

 

[Howe_zat]

Does this mean I have to change the name of the thread to Horse of Flies now?

You can, or at least give it a capital Z.

 

[Brook's side]

maybe they declared and then undeclared?

Haha the way you phrased this made me imagine that they didn't declare because Stokes wanted to go to the pub and have a couple of pints.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

You're not meant to celappeal when it's hitting fifth stump.

 

[Prince EWS]

Maybe both teams declared and then England decided to open the batting with Robinson and Root.

This NZ attack is weak mentally. Its so easy for England. We could get another 50 more in 6-7 overs.

 

[Howe_zat]

Definitely still some movement in the track.

 

[Brook's side]

robinson's a much better broad than either broad or stokes.

 

[Prince EWS]

Definitely still some seam in the road.

Fixed.

Horse of FlieZ?

Taking the new ball has only hastened runs. Should have continued with bracewell

 

[trundler]

Can't believe kiwibros brainwashed me into thinking Southee is as good as Anderson too. I repent.

I mean it’s all a bit academic. England already have 200 over a par score.

Currently averaging 22 under Stokes/McMillan, having averaged 9 under Root/Silverwood. I think someone's had a word.

But I wish he'd stop taking singles of the last ball of the over.

Olly Robinson just repeatedly slog-spamming 2s is hilarious to watch

Must be the most annoying thing ever

The new ball is definitely doing lots and easy more bounce today. It's going to be challenging batting. A lot rests on Conway.

 

[Howe_zat]

Since last summer, Robinson and Stokes are the only seamers in the world with a batting average above their bowling average. (10 wicket minimum)

 

[Brook's side]

robbo steals another single off the final ball
