*Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

[_Ed_]

Even when he (Lees) wasn't getting the 'big runs', he looked quite assured. And that has been the key. I guess it's the same with Crawley, looks good when he gets going

What is it with all the relentless Crawley praise, in the face of fairly clear evidence?

 

[Uppercut]

If they still do after Crawley out in the second over I'd think it's borderline madness.

Coincidentally, "Borderline Madness" is exactly what's written on McCullum's business card.

I can't believe Southee is out of the attack. How did they manage to take the ball off him? I thought he was going to bowl unchanged at one end.

I see we have taken the 3rd slip out already despite setting 4 RPO and a deep point.

I think our boys are believing England are capable of chasing it.

gotta stay matey with Key to get the scoop on the next team selection

I love how much money and time the ECB has thrown at statistical analysis and getting computers to tell them how many runs they should be aiming to set in a 50 over game with 17.4% chance of drizzle and four batsmen with a fourth finger longer than their middle finger, yet give 25 tests to a bloke who averages about 25 in tests and barely more than that in FC cus he has a nice cover drive.

When your mentor was a key Sky commentator turned Managing Director of the team, you don't need to worry about something as trivial as 'runs'.

What is Lees doing here

 

[Bahnz]

Nz tweaking to the fact that Henry’s only gonna do something if he has the new ball.

You guys need your eyes testing if you see this Melanie Bracewell as a hottie

Mods???

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Melanie Bracewell vs. whatever slippy likes

Zak Crawley FC batting average update: 30.54

I don't care that he's only 24, he's not getting better currently, you shouldn't be picking players because they might be good in a few years, and even England can produce a list of batsmen who have better records. To be so bad on such friendly decks beggars belief.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

is the game really so boring y'all have to debate other people's taste in women?

Some credit to one of the very best new ball bowler and a left hand at that going around in the circuit?

but have you considered he's of "good stock" and he just looks like a test cricketer

Not really, county trundlers don't seem to be overly troubled by him either.

We’re all just grateful slippy hasn’t made a post asking if she’s faked her own death or something

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Starc's not playing

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I had to Google her and she’s very acceptable.

 

[straw man]

Disappointed someone other than Lees scored a run

 

[nzfan]

Looking at the way England is going at the target I'm happy to skip sleep tonight and watch us win ?
