*Official* New Zealand tour of UAE and England 2023

[Prince EWS]

man I've grown up in such sporting broadcast poverty that I keep forgetting it's free now

although that makes it even stupider - if we have free access anyway, why is the ECB youtube channel restricting theirs?

Does the TVNZ+ app have ads?

If the ECB doesn't have the rights then TVNZ then might get cranky about the ECB YouTube channel taking away their eyeballs.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

TVNZ+ does have ads. I'm actually sympathetic to TVNZ in this case as I'd like this to work well financially for them so that cricket can remain on Free-To-Air beyond the current contract.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Can't you get the highlights from the TVNZ+ App?

Afaic the only highlights were Finn in the 1st over and the hilarious LBW review of the middle of Glenn Phillips' bat.

That Phillips review was great. Not as good as the time England reviewed an LBW where finch middled a forward defence, buy definitely in the hall of fame.

The depth England has is scary. ECB should request that an "A Team" should get one day status so they can play games as well. Young stars are coming through as well. Most of who we leave out will walk into a lot of other nations teams. Too much riches...The new order is here and there is no way we will lose our grip on the World Cup. India in their own backyard??? not a problem for the England boys and you will all have to witness this greatness once again

New Zealand have bowled well. Been more difficult than OT has been recently.

Two paced and hooped about to begin with. Normally batsman domination here.

poor lockie, find the edges but also the boundary lines....please give this f***ing guy a break god

 

[Primrose_D12]

Jonny 50. Nice.

 

[GIMH]

Jonny looked scratchy AF earlier, but right now he’s on fire

 

[thundaboult]

can only squeeze this eng side for so long...

You love to see it.

 

[mackembhoy]

200 is on here when it looked like we were gonna struggle to put up a good total.

 

[GIMH]

Harry ‘The Hack’ Brook just scores runs doesn’t he. Over and again

 

[thundaboult]

He's really good but eventually he will get worked out just like anyone else, harry brook

 

[91Jmay]

Ish Sohdi goes at over 10 against us, 8s or lower vs everyone else.

 

[thundaboult]

But for now, this is pure brutality. Nz bowlers just rabbits in front of a grizzly bear. Milne looks very good tho.

 

[trundler]

By jove does Sodhi travel against every good batsman.

 

[GIMH]

Good from Milne

 

[wpdavid]

Fine performance by Milne in the face of this.
And Bairstow being starved of the strike for 3 or so overs means he's going to have to provide something special to reach three figures now.
