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

    Based on the past 3 years I kinda expect at least one heavy defeat lol we don't do consistent at home anymore and we just won 2 games in a row so...

    He was pretty solid and the dropping was because Stroll obv wouldn't be dropped. It was harsh. Sergio had a good rep before moving to Red Bull. It was an error to pick him though if they wanted a compliant #2. He's either fast and scrappy or slow and moody, and I think his pace is directly...

    Horner wants fast (but not too fast) and servile. Barrichello, Bottas, Coulthard etc. He doesn't want to risk someone actually racing Max, regardless of whether they're good enough or not, because Max is Horner and Marko's son. That's why they didn't sign the obvious choice in Sainz. I think...

    True, it's more if I had to choose an NZer before Austin it wouldn't have been Lawson. Haha Liam got called to Horners office for a telling off, so he may disagree. Reading the reddit pile on to his driving, none of these people would cope supporting their favourite F1 driver in another...

    You guys are sitting on Conway a bit. He isn't as fluent as his best, but he has consistently pushed through to provide top order runs. Rachin is great, but Conway has been low key awesome and guys who score 50-100 when out of nick are worth their weight in gold. He took the fight to two of...

    God I love Sainz. He's got a WDC in him in the right team, and Albon is in huge trouble next year. Verstappen needs a big big crash to learn some consequences. Today was just stupid. Lawson and Colapinto are speed running antagonizing every older driver on the grid and it's very entertaining...

    Would this be the greatest test series win of all time if NZ win?

    If someone who mattered said it I might comment. He can't be the happiest guy if he's so grinchy about it.

    Poor Perez. Home fans can't get even a flicker of hope. I know McLaren is my national team but it's been subjected to the British museum treatment and currently has evil empire owners, an American ceo and an overhyped pom and an aussie driving. They were cool in the Mika and, later, Kimi days...

    Would this be the greatest test series win of all time if NZ win?

    It's also that rare NZ team who look better on paper than is actually the case atm. Lots of pretty averages and generational talents, and not a lot of recent success or age on their side.

    Henry should come in for Ajaz. In these conditions Phillips is more trustworthy than either of Ajaz or Sodhi. Ajaz has been a fantastic servant and bowled us to some great wins but Father Time appears to have called.

    Santa's average has plummeted to a fairly whelming 36.

    KW plays if fit. Young is a good player but he hasn't crushed his way into the team and certainly not ahead of one of the big dogs of this generation.

    *OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

    Go the uncles Saud Shakeel is one of the quietest achievers around. Dude pops up every series with a score.

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    Stead comes across in statements as content to be in the midfield (to put it kindly) and selects his teams with a strong sense of sentimentality instead of ruthless results maximisation. There has also been chat for a long time that he has little power in the dressing room. NZ sports fans, who...

    Would this be the greatest test series win of all time if NZ win?

    Can't really take the underestimation/played below their level chat seriously. "Oh nah bro I could have won just too cool to try haha" India's batting (like many sides) has been wobbly for years and Ashwin/Jadeja are of a vintage where they will slowly lose consistency. This result was always...

    Unquestionably NZs greatest series victory of my life, especially in the context of their wild inconsistency even in home tests since the WTC final.

    200 target feels some time away. Psychologically need 250+. One partnership kills 200.

    Smith is also the perfect county bowler. Swings it, reasonably sharp and is an allrounder with solid batting technique (has been promoted to #4 in shield before)

    Santner has been working on bowling slower for a while. He was always bowling reasonably quick straight breaks that are easily milked, so he started varying pace around the world cup.
