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

[Shri]

**** you nz

did nothing like this against us

 

[Darwin Award]

7 wickets down & 7 different English players to take a catch.

Adding to that to the varied wicket takers & that pretty much leaves Root with nothing to show for it out there LOL!

 

[honestbharani]

**** you nz

did nothing like this against us

We, being gracious hosts, did it against them.

And now its their turn at being gracious hosts to England.

 

[Prince EWS]

There needs to be a name for the period from around 75 overs ahead of the second new ball, when lower order players get toey and feel like they need to get their runs now. The 'near death' or similar

Santner has definitely been doing this today since he got hit in the head.

 

[King Kane]

Santner putting Carse on his arse with that six he smashed over long off.

 

[King Kane]

Now Santner clubbing Stokes down to long on for four, bowl short to him at your peril.

 

[Bahnz]

Good little innings this from Santner. You can tell he's **** scared of the short stuff but has played it intelligently for the most part.

 

[Skyliner]

“Harry Brook you’re outrageous!”

Have seen that done many times.

 

[SteveNZ]

Santner has definitely been doing this today since he got hit in the head.

Absolutely, and I have no doubt the idea of a harder ball pinging around his ears is also playing on his mind

 

[SteveNZ]

I think they could leave the guard of honour there and he'd probably be back through it pretty quickly

 

[King Kane]

Great catch from Brook on the boundary to remove Henry trying to hit another six, time for Southee to show him how it's done.

 

[straw man]

Alright 6thee, you have two overs.

 

[Prince EWS]

Santner averages over 34 in non-Test FC cricket. He's really underachieved with the bat in Tests when you think about it.

 

[Bahnz]

Dingers!

 

[King Kane]

There goes Southee with a six off Stokes over mid wicket, that has kept the crowd happy.

 

[Darwin Award]

Southee probably trying to reach that 100 sixes milestone right at the end.

 

[SteveNZ]

Santner averages over 34 in non-Test FC cricket. He's really underachieved with the bat in Tests when you think about it.

Massively. Should have developed into a better player, but has never developed the ability to play the quick short ball

 

[SteveNZ]

Second new ball is going to cause chaos here

 

[straw man]

Two of the best middled sixes I've seen from Southee in a long time.

 

[King Kane]

Southee 5th on the all time list for hitting sixes in test cricket, that's surprising but not as surprising as Kallis being 4th.

There is another one for Southee.
