*Official* England in NZ 2023

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Also worth noting that Jeetan Patel never topped the number of wickets in a Plunket Shield season.

Rare for a spinner to do that, you might say?

Ajaz has managed it three times, Sodhi has managed it once, Tarun Nethula once too. And Stephen Boock 5 times.

Blundell dropped

Yeah, don't think you can really count Grimmett in the NZ list given he got most of his development as a player in Australia. Know next to nothing about Smith doesn't seem to be much information at all about when he moved to Auckland.

Nice one. I keep forgetting about the NZC archive and just assume this data is hard to reach these days with the paywall on Cricket Archive.

Blundell taking an unnecessarily risky approach it seems. Needs to calm down a tad.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Century for Ravindra vs Otago after 1st innings 30 and 3-fer.

 

[Burgey]

What's going on here? Has the sun come out? Great fightback NZ and England's attack basically as impotent as it always is unless the conditions make things hoop around sideways for them. Extremely limited outfit.

Cod ordinary.

England are missing a mark wood type figure here. His extra pace would be a nice point if difference, anderson-robinson-broad is very samey when broad isn't in 8-15 mode

Where's that Skyliner got to today?

Wasn't Kane being declared as past it yesterday?

Hasn't it been a thing that Thaatha (Anderson) has had pretty ordinary figures in second innings bowling since 2020 or something?

 

[ataraxia]

Knock.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Williamson beat inzamul Haq(25) & Warner (25)but Equal with Sobers in 26 test century
Sobers 160 innings, KW 161* innings

Congratulation

 

[ashley bach]

Test ton 26 for the legend. Really needs to get 150 now.

 

[Athlai]

26 hundreds is insane. Legend.
