there is no reason to declare

this has never stopped them before

watch Eng declare/be bowled out for a shade under 500 though. Happens so often.

 

[Johan]

this has never stopped them before

reckon they'd bazball until lunch or tea tommorrow and then declare with a 600 or something lead

 

[Skyliner]

Any NZ fan depressed by proceedings at the Basin should watch Rhys Mariu’s boundary reel from his innings today on the NZC website : aesthetically pleasing.

 

[King Kane]

Stokes and McCullum love an early aggressive declaration but surely even they aren't silly enough to declare now.

They could declare now though, I can't see us chasing down a lead of 380 odd with how we batted in the first dig.

 

[Johan]

400 lead

They should be about 600 at stumps

 

[Johan]

Carse has 14 wickets in 3 innings in NZ

@Prince EWS doesn't look like Carse is arse

Carse is not arse anymore.

Stokes likes him and he will get the most overs in the 2nd innings.

 

[King Kane]

It doesn't seem fair that we've given England their captain and coach, not to mention Andy Caddick and all we got back from England was Roger Twose.

you want Boycott?

 

[King Kane]

Boycott is a bit too old now, 40 odd years ago I might have taken him but even then he was infamously run out by Botham in NZ for scoring too slowly.

He wasn't a Bazballer so he wouldn't be getting a gig for England now if he was still playing these days.

I mean England is the reason why NZ play cricket to begin with good sir.

Bazball has not worked – England should have beaten India and Australia

England batsmen have not given the rookie spinners enough runs to work with

doesn't stop him from cooking mfs, even Root isn't safe from him.

tbf some stupid declarations in those games, idiotic batting

Lovely drives, straight drives in particular, and looks to be a fierce puller and hooker.

Well that is true, the same can be said for all the countries that England colonised apart from America who stupidly decided to play baseball instead.

Even the most boring test matches are more interesting than a game of baseball, I watched MLB games when I was there and it was boring as batshit,.

The crowds there were more interesting than the game.

Carse will forever remain arse no matter how good he gets at cricket.
