***Official*** England in New Zealand 2018

[Flem274*]

this is poor bowling. double change them

 

[_Ed_]

They're going to be too tired to take the new ball at this rate.

 

[Larwood's_boots]

Kind of forgot how pathetic the extent of my love for a complicated decision on what point to declare at is…

 

[91Jmay]

Scored runs more quickly than I would have assumed this morning. Another 150ish in 30 overs would be my target

 

[SeamUp]

Vettori at one end till the new ball would have been ideal.

 

[Flem274*]

cdg has bowled the first remotely decent over all morning

maybe he deserves the new ball

 

[wellAlbidarned]

it's probably in our interests to keep these two in. don't want stokes coming in and blasting

For a while anyway- could be fun as hell twenty minutes before the declaration

 

[Flem274*]

ideally for nz they rip through a few for the new ball then force a set batsman to bat with the tail slowly for ages.

but i don't think it's likely. southee and boult looked pretty wayward and spent today after bowling so well yesterday. we've really missed wagner here. he's looked down on zip all series.

 

[_Ed_]

Southee still off the field. CdG to take the new ball with Boult? On how he's bowled so far today, I reckon he could be a bit of a handful.

 

[Cabinet96]

The other side of the Root conversion issues that isn't talked about as much is the fact he's one of the most consistent batsmen in the history of international cricket.

 

[Larwood's_boots]

Now PLEASE get the ton Rooty!!!!

 

[Flem274*]

root we'll swap you a ton for an honourable draw

 

[Flem274*]

or even a dishonourable one tbh i'm not a fussy guy

 

[Howsie]

Three wickets for the entire series from our “best” bowler. I thought this was the time he was suppose to shine?

 

[Flem274*]

southee is sick apparently, which makes the spraying forgiveable

 

[Flem274*]

Three wickets for the entire series from our “best” bowler. I thought this was the time he was suppose to shine?

i don't even think wagner was the best bowler but it's worth it just for your saltiness haha

checked the shield scores today?

 

[Athlai]

I see declaration talk has started with a lead of 230 with two full days left.

While ridiculous, England will need to be slightly bold to tie up the series. 400 maybe?

 

[91Jmay]

Serious pisstake all these delays and time wasting. It's not even NZ doing it really, just generally accepted sloth like nature of the game.

 

[Flem274*]

we need some sandpaper
