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

[Bahnz]

For the sake of a big middle faaaaaang to the selectors, I'm stoked for Wagner. This has been EXACTLY whats been missing

Haha, Wagz scream-laughing in Stokes face for that disgraceful dismissal is easily the highlight of a week where I got a 20% pay rise.

'How dare they do exactly what I praised them for last week.'

Like clockwork.

Tool.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

But it really does feel like us playing England in England is just a chance for them to trial fake cricket, and take the piss. There’s nothing to be gained from us going there.

Quit moaning you miserable ****

But its not the same... last week they won and did not lose wickets!

Vaughan's too distracted by the Conservative Party's meltdown to be concerned by his fickle analysis.

 

[Aritro]

But seriously, if there's 120 runs on the board, the ball's 30-40 overs old, and the pitch is offering relatively little (none of which were active factors today, obviously) why not have gun white ball batsmen try and blast the ball around and score at a white ball run rate? They're good at it and they have the techniques for it. The opposition have more flexibility with the fields, but what other factors are there?

I'm all in favour of more of this happening. Especially if the Poms are leading the revolution, because it's at least funny when it goes wrong.

Disgraceful decision from Stokes to lose. Why don't they just win?

 

[Howe_zat]

Stokes should sit down at a presser tonight and say nothing except literally reading out loud every word of every glowing press article from last week containing phrases like 'intent' and 'unafraid', until every journalist that wrote those articles leaves the room.

 

[Bahnz]

Gotta say that was probably the best new ball spell from Boult since 56 all out. Quick, big swinging and accurate. Shame Bairstow and Stokes hacky slogs took some polish off his figures.

How about you delete your earlier offensive comment and apologise for the use of a very offensive word for someone with a handicapped uncle.

I will wait as you are to thick to know what you did wrong.

The only thing Wagz can’t do it seems is the DRS. Second time this year that he hasn’t been remotely interested in reviewing a totally salmon lbw.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

There is literally no point watching this. It’s just us choking vs Spazzy gingers slogging. Where’s the cricket.

Check this comment out and then apologise you cretin.

no

Wagner got dropped because people were worried he's in pain, right?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Ya that's offensive as hell duder

 

[BeeGee]

I have to say the NZ selections on this tour have baffled the **** out of me. You select Patel on a green top, then drop him when the pitch looks much better for the spinner. And having scored a gazillion runs in the last test, but failed to bowl the opposition out, they decide to play an extra batsman and only three specialist bowlers.
But the crowning turd in the swimming pool is sitting out Wagner in the first two tests. If he's fit, he plays. I don't give a **** how he's bowling in the nets.

tbh I always thought I was anathema to RTB’s stylings so ?‍ ?

I can understand in a way how Wagner missed out the first game as Jamieson and the opening bowlers plus a spinner is a decent attack. To not pick Wagner when you bring in a 4th quick was bizarre. As for playing the part timer here ahead of Patel it looks a mistake that won't matter.
