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

    Has a couple of flaws, the playing back to spinners got exposed by Bashir once and how he got out today was also an issue picked apart expertly. But you are right, he needs to be given more responsibility. Should be at 5 once Mitchell goes

    :laugh: Chaos.

    Second new ball is going to cause chaos here

    Massively. Should have developed into a better player, but has never developed the ability to play the quick short ball

    I think they could leave the guard of honour there and he'd probably be back through it pretty quickly

    Absolutely, and I have no doubt the idea of a harder ball pinging around his ears is also playing on his mind

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

    There needs to be a name for the period from around 75 overs ahead of the second new ball, when lower order players get toey and feel like they need to get their runs now. The 'near death' or similar

    Santner played that back away and leave in the 2019 final. Looks like he thinks time isn't on his side

    No, quite right. Santner will bat properly here but the rest will smell the new ball looming

    Why do TV networks put people on to annoy me I'd just recovered from the guy in the cowboy hat last year

    Hundred thousand percent agree with this. He's such an easily persuaded guy who will go with what the team wants him to do, and they've convinced him he's a balls to the wall 7 who has to score runs before the tail slogs out

    Pretty outrageous, really.

    I was going to say here goes NZ throwing away a good start, but we've not had that opportunity for ages have we?

    This is a crucial Will Young innings. Make a hundred and the public won't accept him not being in a side for the next 2 years

    At least a third of this is true, there are no dead rubbers in Tests. The last bit is typical Sumo rubbish. This being my second exposure to his dire warbling in less than 24 hours after the monstrosity that was Chasing the Fox last night

    See, I think it's open to interpretation. I don't see him as one of our greatest ever, moreso that he's had admirable longevity and for decent periods was world class in Tests, and a lot less so in ODIs. From 2012-14 and 2018-21 he was absolutely a world class performer. But there were a lot of...

    Nah, that won't happen. Nor should it. If Scott K isn't getting booed, no one is.
