*Official* England in NZ 2023

[Bahnz]

NZ gone from
‘Got my photo with with the WTC Mace, we are the freakin world champs, hoo haaaaaa!!’

to

‘England are so amazing. We stand no chance. Gosh they are good’.

NZ’s got all the Mace they’ll ever need batting at number 8.

 

[NZTailender]

It's okay, he'll get one chance at it and if he misses out he'll be dropped.

Young is there to blunt the new ball for Nicholls to score a shovelly 50 with 5 dropped catches to secure his spot until 2029 while young gets dropped

Stormcloud miseryguts Skyliner turns up once again. All the spine of a jellyfish.

Anderson 33 wickets at 14 while bowling in his 40s

416 @ 22.98 since turning 30.

 

[BazBall21]

Southee is probably better than Broad but not Anderson

Haha I love that this meme held.

Tickner should have played

 

[straw man]

Could've made a good coffee and gone out as the lunchwatchman.

 

[NZTailender]

The one positive is Kuggleijn is 12th man and therefore not taking up space in the Plunket Shield

 

[Ultra Instinct]

Kane is done.

Can't see him coming back.

 

[Ultra Instinct]

I wonder how McCullum feels watching this.

Must be bitter sweet. He helped this team get to the top and now it looks like it's all collapsed.

 

[slippy888]

Kane is done.

Can't see him coming back.

For me a champion batsman

 

[Prince EWS]

Kane is done.

He scored a double ton like eight weeks ago.

Elbow injury might have made him decline a bit from his previous standard but that's a long way from him being "done".

 

[The Hutt Rec]

A good thing about England touring is the actual Barmy Army is here, so we don't get that one guy that steals their chants and goes "Whooo we are ... We are the Blackcaps ... the mighty mighty Blackcaps"

 

[Ultra Instinct]

For me a champion batsman

He was.

It's been downhill since the tennis elbow injury.

Why you want him gone

Against Pakistan on absolute roads where he had lives. Don't expect him to score against the top opposition.

 

[Ultra Instinct]

Why you want him gone

Seems inevitable if I'm being honest. Can't see him turning it around and more of this against the top teams.

 

[Prince EWS]

The idea that he's not good enough to be in the team at all is bat**** insane. Nicholls is in the team ffs.
