    *Official* England in NZ 2023

    Here we go..... Get Root and we are on our way :clap: No matter who you are and what the results in the past have been like but the first hour of any day in a test match is challenging.

    Stead will not take any risk vs SL. He has not had much success in tests over the last year or so. He will stick with the same squad and hope to win two test matches to finish his test coaching. He wouldn't give a damn about who the next coach is or what he's left with to work.

    One game is not going to make any difference to Phillips, Ravindra or Nathan Smith. If BCs wanted them they would have had them there already. You won't see any changes to the SL series squad. Changes can be expected in a year's time.

    *Official* England in NZ 2023

    Any morning at basin the ball will do fair bit without doubt no matter the condition of the ball. It's just the way it is, don't ask why. It always does more than a bit in the first hour. With a bit more sun the swing goes and that is when the bowlers will start bowling back of a length to get...

    I think so too but his career may be prolonged for just couple more tests vs Sri Lanka. Our cup board right now is bare of faster bowlers or the proper incumbents are rather injured. I guess he will get couple more tests to sign off. He's got a county gig coming up.

    Since when did English supporters started to become like the Aussies?

    *Official* England in NZ 2023

    Brook will give plenty of chances but Root... he's a seasoned professional and one of the very best. If he's there in the middle he'll get England to the target without breaking a sweat. The guy is a beast. I'd say Stokes as well, he's built for these sort of occasions. It seems if there is no...

    To only highlight Macewell is wrong, I knew Stuff would be licking their fingers at the dismissal. The headline "Bracewell's calamitous error hinders Black Cap's fightback" isn't fair. There were others too that threw away their wickets. One guy can't lose a game. That said it seems to have...

    It's not over and it's not like England will blast through this. If we get Root early we will have a chance. Root is the key wicket.

    *Official* New Zealand domestic season 2022/23

    Had a look at ball by ball of Ravindra's inning, the two shots that stand out are couple of taps vs Phillips and Foxcroft. I thought that would be no more than a single but they were fours. Either it is timing or the bat he is using must be out of the world. How can tap go for fours? He barely...

    Southee as a captain is proving to be worse than Latham. Wrong team selections, not using your resources properly, not at all creative in fieldsets. Look at Stokes, he did great as a captain. He even used Brook to turn things around. Set some creative fields to check the run rate. Used his lone...

    I'd pick more of Nicholls and Darryl for getting in and getting out. Those 30s, 50s generally have no bearing unless we're playing on a minefield.

    I think Southee can. He lost confidence in Ajaz in Pakistan and he badly bowled him.

    That's right he'll probably apologize for the outburst if at all it was one. Probably will apologize to the bowler too ? That ball to Popli the swung a mile, absolute cracker and Popli is in great touch but no shame in missing that.

    So Southee now has no confidence in Wagner? Does that mean we have to see an overdose of himself, henry and bracewell tomorrow?

    Rachin's length is really good. Must have done a lot of work on his bowling. It's so much better now and very accurate

    I'm sure you guys laughed at me when I said yesterday we'll get good runs in the second inning

    Leach unbelievable, the number of overs he bowled and still bowling well all the time, that's some crazy work. 62 overs ?
