*Official* England in NZ 2023

[HeathDavisSpeed]

If only such an eventuality was at all foreseeable. What an absolute thick as mince brain vacuum he [Southee] is.

 

[Athlai]

That was the saunter of a man confident we have enough runs

 

[Nintendo]

Have NZ let Brook go a bit here or is he bowling well? They've let him just go about his thing and go at 3's/4's and now the new ball is around the corner with all 3 pacers well rested. Don't think England would have just let him a part timer go about his thing like this.

And nice timing - both Phillips and Rachin have scored runs and taken wickets in this PS round.

And so has Nathan Smith.

 

[Athlai]

Rachin is our spinner at home now folks.

 

[straw man]

We absolutely must get the lead to 300 to have a modest chance imo, given our bowling attack and this pitch.

Ugh as I type that, Southee falls just 75 short of his career best.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Need big runs from Henry and Wagner. Not good

 

[ataraxia]

props to Leach for bowling 60 overs btw – been rather unlucky from what I've seen

combo of us being cowards and brook being alive

How NZ have stuffed this up from where they were a while ago.

Rampant ****wittery.

 

[artvandalay]

**** me a bunch of meme wickets and England have a target now.

 

[Spark]

Well when I thought that NZ had England in real danger I wasn't expecting half an hour of the most gormless cricket imaginable on their behalf.

(And that's even after what happened last week to our lot)

9 down

If nz win tomorrow, this will be their Greatest win even better than Bangladesh 595/8 declared in NZ ?
Beaten on day 5 ?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

We've choked. Game over

 

[cricman]

England might chase this down tonight

 

[ataraxia]

Hey ECB, I'd like to order a rapid implementation of 4-day tests. Yes, very soon please.

We won't. England by 5 or 6 wickets
