*Official* England in NZ 2023

[Skyliner]

Things have gone right today so I'm back posting. I'm perplexed why bracewell didn't want to go after the bowling. We're supposed to win here aren't we to catch up?

When things go wrong for a batsman it goes really bad. All Bracewell's dismissals this series have been soft as. Feel a bit sorry for the dude. He could have had a good impact today but then his dismissal will be highlighted the most. It'll remain in the memory forever for all concerned.

Leach unbelievable, the number of overs he bowled and still bowling well all the time, that's some crazy work. 62 overs ?

Follow on too, so he really bowled 79 overs.

 

[nzfan]

In with a chance? The lead is 256. Could win by three figures

I'm sure you guys laughed at me when I said yesterday we'll get good runs in the second inning

 

[Meridio]

Oh and the obligatory (for realz) – please do fire David White, Gary Stead, and Gavin Larsen

And Michael Bracewell

So my superstition is real

oh the irony dearest Skyliner

 

[Starfighter]

Somehow despite an epic rescue NZ manage to pathetically screw things up and leave a sour taste in everyone's mouths.

 

[kaetor]

I went for a run after Kane got out because I was too nervous we'd throw away our great innings effort. How right I was.... Bracewell should never see the light of test cricket again for that

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

We're gonna win don't worry

 

[ataraxia]

It's a disgrace if we let Crawley wipe out any significant part of the deficit.

*double-checks format of game*

 

[Prince EWS]

Imagine if Crawley knew how to bat.

 

[Flametree]

Odds on a 10 wicket win, Crawley 140*?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

NZ have only come in from 5.00 at the start of the day to 4.33 despite getting a 250 run lead, crazy

Needed a 370+ lead

 

[Moss]

Genuinely thought that 74 against Pakistan would set Bracewell up for the no.7 spot, but he's been a liability with the bat even though the bowling has been respectable. Mark Craig was a better test allrounder really.

ND 8 down. Ish hasn't bowled

Much. Averaged 36 with the bat and bowled us to some wins.

He has a career first class average of like 30, and he’s been averaging less than 20 with the bat just last first class season. He is and was never good enough to be a test match number 7.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

This is where we remember we didn’t select any bowlers.
