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

Mitchell hasn't been at his best but don't think he's coming under any scrutiny anytime soon tbh

He should be, with Young knocking down the door. They've got to make some changes to the batting after this though.

Yeah I'd like to see Young in there somehow, but just not for Mitchell.

I wouldn't drop Mitchell yet either but he needs a kick up the backside. Averaging 29 this year

Good to see some fight and Blundell has played very well. Smith definitely has something about him. He is a very useful cricketer.

 

[sayon basak]

Funny thing is after last tests failures Latham actually said Blundell is only an innings away from finding good form.

That's a very Bangladeshi thing to say tbh.

Hope you're enjoying yourself mate, the Basin's a great place to watch test cricket despite the ****ing wind.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Jeez you'd have to hope that this is a reinvigoration for Blundell, as this is an otherwise useless knock that will otherwise extend his career for another year.

Depends on the new coach.

May also depend if Hay gets the keeping gig for the Champions Trophy and does well, or if we go with Latham or Conway.

That's a very Bangladeshi thing to say tbh.

I'll take your word for that. I guess anyone is only an innings away from good form but yeah Latham called this one against the odds.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Smith definitely has something about him.

He must to impress Chubb.

 

[NZTailender]

So Blundell makes 274* and Smith 200*, easy as

Jesus christ, Macca saw Warne wearing that stupid cheese cutter hat once 7 years ago, and he's still making sure he's got one on his head everytime he's in front of a camera.

 

[ashley bach]

Macca loves his stupid ****ing cheese cutters

 

[ashley bach]

Ding!

 

[Johan]

I want to see Blundell in the next Thorpe-Crowe trophy

 

[slowfinger]

4th innings stat-padding (vs Bashir)

 

[sayon basak]

Guess Carse will be Arse this innings.

 

[ashley bach]

Guess Carse will be Arse this innings.

As @Prince EWS has said no matter how good he gets at cricket, Carse will always be arse.

 

[ashley bach]

Blundell!!

 

[_Ed_]

Even though I feel like we probably should be moving on from Blundell, I'm bloody happy for the bloke.
