    The "Can't believe they lost from there" Thread

    That's amazing. The run outs really make it

    I think the part where our replacement prop one-handed dived over the line to dcore the 8th try was the point where I felt that the piss had been irrevocably taken

    Don bradman in an alternate timeline

    Also, did the uber-Bradman of this universe overturn the English series victories in 1928-9 and 1932-33, or is this a universe where the likes of Hammond and Sutcliffe also received a bionic super serum and the timeless tests of the era simply lasted for weeks?

    Don bradman in an alternate timeline

    I have questions about the 1930 season which featured 18+ test matches on presumably a tour of England. 1) Did every county host one Test match each, or did the toffs at Lords hog half a dozen to themselves? 2) How many bowlers did England pick over the whole series? (you can round to the...

    Did they call the pitch wrong, or just not take advantage? No new ball wickets and the old ball ones being mostly ring catches.

    Southee is probably taking 6 wickets minimum after all this.

    Conditions are almost perfect for NZ to charge to victory in the third test. Probably only need a sudden Williamson injury and maybe a small chip pan fire in the home dressing room to confirm it.

    Joe Root is number one

    Root and Brook are #1 and #2 now. I think this is the first time England have occupied the top two spots since the rankings were launched. Using historical ratings, the most recent time I can find is the summer of 1991, when Graham Gooch and Robin Smith managed it after their runs against the...

    I have been a lot more impressed by England's bowling than their batting this series. Which is partly just because my expectation was the reverse. Brook's hundred in the first innings here was by all accounts a class apart, but most of the other key knocks for England have been rather skittish...

    Root falls 9 runs short of being the most prolific visiting batsman to New Zealand. Harry Brook into the top 10 after 4 matches

    When choosing between the literally worthless (declaring a second innings on day two) and the merely practically worthless (statpadding a lead past 550), I would certainly be taking the latter. It's not always Stokes' style, but with Root out there trying to chase records there may also be a...

    Duckett's 7th 80+ score without a ton. That doesn't yet reach the top 15 England players, but most of those ahead of him have played a lot more than his 31 tests.

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

    Because of the chances in the first test, and tbh today, this batting effort doens't feel especially repeatable. Carse and Atkinson taking wickets, and high-quality ones too, like Carse vs Williamson yesterday, in a country where England often fail to make the bowling work is a big positive for...

    Oh yeah on second thoughts there's going to be a lot of bowlers isn't there. I was only thinking about bats. To answer my question from earlier, I probably am sleep deprived.

    Obviously I was just in the middle of typing a spiel about Bethell getting his first ever ton in a Test match, and whether that's happened before. As far as I can work out, it still hasn't.

    So am I listening to David Gower clucking on tv commentary or am I just sleep deprived?
