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

    Obviously no idea about him. What's his bowling like?

    Ravichandran Ashwin retires from international cricket

    What if Jadeja wakes up on day of game with bad back/neck though? Unless Ashwin is carrying a niggle we don't know about of course.

    Smith playing would help. Plus he deserves a place on what we saw at Christchurch and Wellington.

    Ravichandran Ashwin retires from international cricket

    Bottle job doing it mid series will no doubt be the Aussie reaction. Seriously though, when you know the time is up its better to go not hang around stinking the place out like Southee and Ponting did. Great career, an amazing bowler at home, probably the best spin partnership I've seen with...

    Smith is a cert to play. Choice I'd say is if Bethell opens or bats 3.

    Test Newcomer of the Year ?

    Was waiting for you to say Woakes 😂

    When is the optimal time to declare the first innings?

    Depends on how quickly you score but 30 minutes before lunch or tea on day 2 I guess.

    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    You could see last season they had signed some good players just the squad was so unbalanced it was unreal. A few additions and a good manager has brought them on rapidly, possibly faster than even anyone at Chelsea expected. If they fade away I hope they don't blame the manager and make a...

    Test Newcomer of the Year ?

    Gus Atkinson by a mile 50 wickets, 10fer on debut, hat trick and a test hundred. Doesn't get much better than that. I fully respect the other candidates who have had great years too but this is a ridiculous start to a career not seen since the likes of Botham.

    Highlight of the tour for me was the triceratops milking the applause on a lap of the ground just before the end of play. Great hundred by Brook at Wellington, scratchy at Christchurch. Pope playing beyond expectation with both gloves and bat, Bethell is a find and Carse looking very very...

    **Official** 3rd Test @Brisbane (Ewwwww), 14th-18th December

    Cricket does itself no favours in situations like this.

    **Official** 3rd Test @Brisbane (Ewwwww), 14th-18th December

    Shubman Crawley needs dropping. Probably won't be though. Nice draw escape for India.

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

    Well done NZ. Great career Southee, shame you didn't go 18 months ago though as it feels a bit hollow. O'Rourke, Henry and Jamieson is an attack to cause problems in the future. Amazing that both sides had such settled attacks for so long and have both found a good new one in no time at all...

    Clearly this will be a massive defeat but Bethell looks a good player. Hits the ball so cleanly like Brook. Love to see him open instead of Crawley

    184ao is my prediction.

    Ours doesn't matter and weather may save India.

    Gets his bunny again. Crawley sucks

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

    So the only thing we have done right this game is stopping Southee getting 100 6s. Go England.

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

    Anyway this situation should be no surprise to anybody as it could easily have been the case at Christchurch or Wellington when we were on the ropes 4 down cheaply in both first innings but Brook and Pope dug us out of the hole. They failed here and look what happens...

    Get Southee to 100 6s hopefully. Not like he will do anything with the ball.
