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

    O'Rourke hit 153km? Holy ****. Big tall guy hitting 150+ who uses his height and can control the areas he hits. This is where it gets incredibly tricky on how much to keep bowling him as he's learning the trade, but also with his body in mind.

    Most Handsome Cricketer?

    This is the stuff. Love it. Thought the same about Kyle Jamieson when I saw him on the boundary v Pakistan a couple of summers ago. Just an incredible unit. Blonde, huge square shoulders, 6 foot 8, amazing stuff. Then there's your traditional heart throb like Will Young.

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

    Yeah, he did it because he's such a fierce competitor but I wonder in hindsight whether him bowling so many overs in Hamilton was a significant mistake. I know you don't want to put guys in cotton wool but at 2-0 and coming back from the knee, to bowl 24 overs then an intense load in the second...

    Most Handsome Cricketer?

    This isn't gay. I love this thread and intend to post in it heaps. First up, controversially, I think Haze is vastly underrated as a good looking bloke

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

    Yeah Ive found myself annoyed at times with the ceremony in this Test. No one is bigger than the game. Kane is going to eventually head out of this game with much less fanfare and yet deserve it much more. The fact we care (or others do) about the sixes thing ignores the fact that he got there...

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

    Good question...to be certain, I don't have a horse in this race. I don't see enough of England play to say definitively whether Crawley should be there or not. But I do know he can play innings' that other players cannot, theyre just too far apart for some. And again I don't know this, but I'm...

    Worst Test shot of all time. I'm calling it. Damien Martyn lost how many years for his shot v SA? I see now it was 6. Duckett should lose 10. He can come back after his 40th birthday if he's still up to it

    So you're inferring hes there because of his Dad. I doubt Baz gives a **** who his Dad is, nor is taking on favours from anyone higher up. And it doesn't offend me if you think that's why, I just disagree. I think they've just given someone too much rope. It happens. See T.Blundell and T.Southee...

    Yeah, I get that Crawley isn't scoring runs and there's a fair reason to want to find out who's next in line...but the silver spoon BS is exactly that and he clearly has ability. The 189 in the Ashes, no English player outside of Root is capable of that. And he's 26. Baz and co will give him a...

    I actually agree, as I don't like the feel of an umpire's call clipping the outside of leg. But thems the rules, I'm sure he's had some go the other way

    100% agree. They went out there to do the job they get paid for

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

    Going back to the Duckett dismissal, I think there's a case to suggest that's the worst I've seen at this level. The Shannon Gabriel 9-down I can't be ****ed saving the game was there previous but I reckon Ben has him trumped. Just so many reasons why it's the worst. Cooked bowler who is...

    I don't care how you aim to play Test cricket, that is ****ing diabolical

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

    Both, I think. But I take your point and if,as predicted, weather is set fine then there's no issues in batting on. So I think I've overplayed what I said there

    There's been a higher one further out in the galaxy by another life form?

    Mate in the corp seats reckons Baz took the piss out of Southee as he came off the ground 🤣

    Yep, agreed. Sumo would've made far too big a deal of it

    Well I'll always remember the day Gary and Tom decided we needed 660 to win

    Oh yeah and I almost forgot, an end of the ground named after him 😅
