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

[King Kane]

Bashir owes Duckett a beer tonight for that catch.

 

[ashley bach]

That's an excellent innings but still such a dumb shot to play off Bashir when runs were coming so freely playing normal shots.

 

[trundler]

Judging a spinner by his figures at Basin Reserve is a bit cruel

 

[Bahnz]

Oh my lord Blundell you useless ****, now Baz would think Bashir is good

Paying England back for their tactical drop of him on 0

 

[Bahnz]

Stokes first ball: 84kph

Not sure the speed cameras are coping that well with the northerly.

 

[ashley bach]

Henry to be caught in the deep or his poles to be dismantled.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Btw is Ravindra still part of the new Fav 4? Literally averages 38.26.

@PlayerComparisons

I guess not

 

[Bahnz]

Now if you're the NZ tail do you:

a) try to hold up an end to help Smith get to a maiden test 50
b) what? Lol just smash it bro!

I for one am shocked that it turned out to be b.

 

[_Ed_]

****ing hell, Henry.

He's capable of batting so much better.

 

[ashley bach]

5 sixes Timmy you can do it

 

[sayon basak]

I guess not

I'm surprised you lost hope already. Be stronger, man.
Always remember-

Virat also average 39.4 at the end of the England tour of 2014

 

[ashley bach]

****ing hell, Henry.

Yeah he is but he's been getting worse the longer his career goes.

Just got online. Disappointing declaration from England. Woulda been a perfect chance to go nuts and set all kinds of records to gain more interest and entertainment in a dead contest, add to their legacy etc etc. But they just wanna get outta there in 3 days and go fishing for some reason. No moral victory in that.

[Johan]

Rachin needs to work out his issues against pace, from what I've seen he plays spin wonderfully

That’s the culture they’ve built with the cult of personality round Southee. It’s bollocks.

 

[Prince EWS]

Drinking*

Same thing.

 

[trundler]

May as well let Southee hit 5 6s. If I was Stokes I'd get Root and Bethell on.

Here's hoping for a new culture to set in sooner rather than later.
