    Lovely article on Big Bird

    I'm more interested in his height and whether or not he's actually mid bird @thierry henry

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

    You can't really compare the two batsmen considering Phillips is really just starting his test career properly, but CdG benefitted from home tests where he averaged an impressive 51. De grandhomme played 'away' 6 times for an average of 31 and 4 'neutrals' for an average of 10. So 10 games away...

    I had thought he'd really want to try for that elusive WC in 2027 but yeah can see the Aus series maybe being his last :mellow:

    I think overall Phillips is a better batsman than CdG imo, and that's not to underrate CdG either. I think we won't get the best out of Phillips batting him below 5 and that's his ideal position for mine, which Mitchell has had sewn up for a while but he's not going to be around forever. Reckon...

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

    I guess Phillips gets the excuse of his batting position because he's played more innings than young with the same amount of 50s and a lower average in the same time period. I feel for Will Young because the standard he's being held to to unseat incumbents is only being reached by Williamson and...

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

    I'd drop Mitchell or Conway before I'd drop Phillips. Also I know it's irresistible to treat him as an all rounder, and I'm sure he seems himself that way, but he should be treated as a batsman and part time bowler imo. I just don't think we'll see the best of his batting if more emphasis is...

    His swansong and not captain, he'll probably have a decent time with the ball.

    "just being with the squad in the nets is an amazing experience" feels like something I've read often from players and officials when it comes to guys who don't get a game

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Diabolical IMO - has to be black caps directed resting, or they're doing some advanced training session or something. if they're worried about injuries, they're obviously not as worried about Williamson or Southee, although their game time has obviously been less than the others (well, Southee 1...

    ANYONE HEARD OF THIS GAME ?

    @alanansley will you do a digitised version now you have all the info? Pretty cool that you have managed to get the info together with the help of @TerryT - would be great to digitally preserve the game for future generations

    Kind of makes me sad we haven't been able to give Boult a proper farewell. Technically available right? If we're 2-0 up give them both a final farewell at their home ground
