    Heef, I know you've got the knives out for Blundell but at least there's the possibility that he could rebound. Tim Southee on the other hand is obviously cooked; any arguments for playing him are completely bunk. He's an ineffectual bowler and an irresponsible test batsman. There's no longer...

    Thanks y'all :) My username's not an anagram, just a double entendre.

    It goes beyond needing work. More like a class: "Okay boys, now this here is the cricket ball. You need to grab it out of the air before - and I can't stress this enough - before it touches the ground. If you do that, the guy in all the weird armour has to go away. Isn't that great?"

    It beats me why they even bother with this mealy-mouthed stuff. It would be more satisfying and enlightening if he just stood there eating handfuls of paste straight out of the jar. I've been saying it like a broken record but if they can't be bothered to act like they care then why should the...

    Yeah well he also said the following three times in slightly different ways: "On a different day, catches go to hand and things might be different, but that's the sport we play" Which is ignoring the fact that over multiple days we dropped so many catches everyone lost count, and that in 2024...

    Brook was first dropped on 18. If the catch is taken that's 153 runs not scored by him and who knows what the flow-on effect would've been. Regardless England would've been 77/5 and still 271 behind - a completely different game. That's just one dropped catch!

    Their fans did bugger all, other than expand their already sizeable beer guts.

    Not sure why commentators persist in using variations on 'innovative' to describe lap/scoop shots. They aren't exactly a new thing.

    If we'd valued our wickets and held our catches I can envision an alternate universe where the scores are flipped. But we didn't do those things. We've been godawful. Post match I'd like to hear some regret from the NZers, perhaps even some shame and embarassment. Definitely a steely...

    Wouldn't it be hilarious if Tim Southee finally bettered his high score today?

    We have been complete arse in this test and we deserve to lose.
