*Official* England in NZ 2023

[Bahnz]

Jeez that jagged. Southee should try bowling a few more of those.

Ben’s an awesome name tbf.

 

[Croadymeister]

buttler and bairstow to open

Be surprised if Duckett get axed too,also big call to have Bairstow/Buttler open in Ashes

Not as good as Darlingface.

 

[Bahnz]

Southee should just bowl cutters in the morning. It’s ragging big.

 

[Anil]

damn, this will be over 1st session tomorrow...

 

[Nintendo]

So has Baz decided he needs to play more conventional cricket to beat the conservative, free market NZ team or has broad been demoted?

 

[G. S. Kohli]

329 for 8 today from both teams
I could be possible broadcaster need to drag test match till 5th day, it's common in Asian continental, Last year 2022, SL's net revenue 600 carore rupees from all cricket.

Bit of a great and **** day wrapped in one today

Bit of a great and **** day wrapped in one today

Yes.

 

[Bahnz]

There's a part of me that thinks that NZ would actually benefit from being bowled out around 5:15 for about 500ish. After spending 2 and a half days in the field England will be at serious risk of an exhaustion collapse.

I really should just stfu.

I loved the great part, but unfortunately the **** part has ended up casting a pretty big shadow over it.

 

[SteveNZ]

Sigh. Pride builds, then we lose 5-28, including a guy who couldn't be ****ed sliding his bat, and two guys trying to slog against the spin to a guy turning it considerably sideways.

 

[Bahnz]

Tbf I don't think you can blame Blundell. At 9 down and 10 short of a hundred you've kinda got to roll the dice.

On the bright side, what a marvellous innings to end Kane Williamson's career.

 

[Howe_zat]

Might wanna fix that typo @SteveNZ

Nah I don't. It was a low percentage shot, but I wouldn't have mentioned it if Southee hadn't done the same.

Why you retiring Kane?

Might wanna fix that typo @SteveNZ

Which part?

 

[SteveNZ]

Somewhere, in a dark room, Ajaz Patel is doom watching Jack Leach bowl, wishing Brendon McCullum was his coach instead.

 

[NZTailender]

When I left work Williamson and Blundell were batting.

What an absolute ****show from the lower order. Can't believe I'm saying it but we're not only missing Tickner as an extra option with the ball but also as someone who valued his wicket. Ffs.

I had become cautiously optimistic too. The scenario I outlined when we were asked to follow on was unfolding to the letter and these ****s couldn't last the afternoon, absolute dropkicks.
