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

[Calm_profit]

Crawley is a hack,just play him only against India and Australia.

 

[Johan]

Brook averages what in New Zealand lmao

 

[slowfinger]

don't know whether to keep watching this or just let Gower ASMR drift me gently into sleep

 

[nick-o]

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

Carse is a class arse.

 

[FBU]

Brook averages what in New Zealand lmao

After the last Test 112.50

Gone now.....

 

[trundler]

England pretty much have an extra day to statpad now. I've never seen a 450+ lead on day two lol.

 

[King Kane]

We finally managed to take a catch off Brook, we are a chance to keep this lead to below 600 now.

 

[Johan]

100th 50+ score for Root

 

[thundaboult]

stopped watching this a while ago but saw the card on cricinfo and wow, good on england to keep going and make sure our bowlers dont even have legs come the 3rd test, keep grinding em into the dirt

 

[thundaboult]

also, this blackcap side of the last 3 years absolutely scream of complacency

had mentioned the wtc final win, then immediately losing to a home test to bdesh, now winning in india and getting hammered at home by an england side in transition.....these guys just love resting on those laurels huh

 

[Bahnz]

Lol at the comms suggesting England will declare tonight. They're just desperate to have something to talk about again.

 

[Skyliner]

The win in India is an anomaly, the trend is a decline. Change is needed, Stead is too close to too many players. Time for Stead and Ronchi to go.

Stead's contract finishes before the Zim tour (at end of the 23-25 WTC cycle). Hopefully Ronchi's experience in the PSL will be of use in the Champions Trophy.

McMillan copying his old flat cap mate Warnie with the early declaration talk, hopefully he doesn't start talking about dirty rotten pizzas.

Who do you think the smartest guy in the NZ team is? Like intellectually smart not cricket smart.

Williamson is smart but in a headboy/politician way.

Reckon Phillips is pretty sharp when he's taking something seriously

 

[straw man]

England pretty much have an extra day to statpad now. I've never seen a 450+ lead on day two lol.

They could genuinely set a target of 1000 from here.

edit: though I'll claim that one

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I know it's out of fashion but I kinda want someone from the BCs camp to come out and give everyone a bollocking, there is literally no way of putting a positive spin on this series. Can someone please display an actual identifiable negative emotion.

 

[King Kane]

Well at least we are taking some wickets now but Stokes coming in for Pope doesn't help us much, it looks like he is batting for a declaration.

best I can do is "yeah it's a little disappointing... but that's cricket'

 

[ataraxia]

All-time bad declaration impending.
