**Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

[_Ed_]

Lol this team hates O'Rourke

And then he casually takes a screamer in the outfield.

Howr nowr browrn cowr

tbh ever since I noticed McMillan doing it I've realised every Cantabrian does it. Seems to be a weird regional dialect.

 

[Gnske]

With catching like Will O'Rourke in them, you can't lose.

Time for NZ to go four down

 

[straw man]

Nice catch.

Excellent performance by Smith and O'Rourke, outside Smith getting hit around by Brook.

 

[thierry henry]

Well, that should've been a helluva lot better at 43/4, but it also could've been worse. So I guess I'll take it as a win. By which, of course, I mean a loss.

 

[Zinzan]

With catching like Will O'Rourke in them, you can't lose.

Time for NZ to go four down

123/5 ... get it right

 

[Bahnz]

England with at least 50 more than a par score I thjnk

 

[King Kane]

Great catch from O'Rourke and Smith gets a 4'fer, good work from the newbies to wrap that England total up for 280.

Choosing to bowl first looking justified now but that all depends on how we go with the bat, we will need to score over 300 to have the advantage.

 

[straw man]

Pitch has more in than last match, the bounce means Carse likely to be the biggest danger, at least after the new ball.

 

[Zinzan]

Sears /Jamieson coming in for Southee will make a real difference to this bowling attack. Something I'm looking forward to.

 

[TT Boy]

Good comeback from NZ. Would have been a long 3rd session and most likely the game if Brook’s and Pope got to tea.

 

[Gnske]

Another classy zero wicket haul from Southee, leaking the hard runs to give everyone else a chance at wickets.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Sears /Jamieson coming in for Southee will make a real difference to this bowling attack. Something I'm looking forward to.

Or even Foulkes. He could be very nasty on something with some bounce.

 

[Bahnz]

Sears /Jamieson coming in for Southee will make a real difference to this bowling attack. Something I'm looking forward to.

Same could be said for Duffy, Fisher, Foulkes, Clarke, Tickner, Rae etc etc.

 

[Burgey]

Gee Ben Stokes has reverted to mean after that recent run of good form, hasn't he?

 

[Zinzan]

Well we can't label Harry Brook a home track bully...

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Decent turnout for a week day. No sightings of Shrewsbury shirts so far today.

 

[Zinzan]

Same could be said for Duffy, Fisher, Foulkes, Clarke, Tickner, Rae etc etc.

Well yeah, nah. Those names are a notch down from Sears/Jamieson

 

[Zinzan]

Or even Foulkes. He could be very nasty on something with some bounce.

Only seen Foulkes with the white ball and not sure what to make of him. He's short & not that quick but looks awkward somehow.

 

[King Kane]

O'Rourke and Jamieson bowling together on a pitch with some pace and bounce will be a nightmare for opposition batsmen, there will be no relief.
