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

[straw man]

This is good.

Though still have to be frustrated that we're putting it together only in the third test. If we took our catches in the first test, especially Brook, could have gone on a roll like this and the whole series could have been different.

 

[straw man]

Man, watching this afternoon's play, it's hard to escape the conclusion that if Phillips swallows that chance off Brook and reduces England to 77/5 at Hagley then NZ wins that game comfortably

Jinx

 

[King Kane]

Santner on fire

If only we had played Young and Santner earlier in the series.

Both of them have made a big difference, especially Santner.

 

[Bahnz]

Lol. Absolute carnage.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Carse status: arse

 

[FBU]

3-1-7-3 Santner
76 runs
2 catches

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

On the one hand Slinky is going to be in the team for the next 5 years. On the other hand we will definitely never get to see Ajaz play in NZ now.

 

[Bahnz]

Definitely don't enforce the follow-on if we have the chance.

 

[Starfighter]

Actually felt like there might have been a bit of extra elbow in that one from Santner. Shame DRS can't check for that.

Long thought some of his were.. interesting.

 

[Johan]

ban England from playing spin

 

[_Ed_]

Man, how much better has the catching been today? Nice way to end the innings.

 

[Meridio]

That is an outstanding effort with the ball

 

[Skyliner]

The inverse of the catching performance at Hagley.

 

[anonymouskefe]

we finally decided to play proper cricket after two losses

 

[FBU]

NZ 204 runs ahead
superb performance

 

[Bahnz]

Bowled out in a session and a bit, with England's openers having 30+ overs in their legs. Fill your boots boys.

 

[_Ed_]

Good to see Henry's test bowling average down at 29.82.

 

[King Kane]

England all out, a lead of over 200, what a difference it makes when we bowl and catch well.

We should win from here barring an awful second innings collapse which isn't off the cards,

 

[Starfighter]

Henry's got his average below 30 now.

Wouldn't be enforcing the follow-on here.

 

[hendrix]

So can we play just O'Rourke and Santner to bat and bowl? Thanks.
