*Official* England in New Zealand 2019

[straw man]

If Boult is injured and Ferguson makes the XI next week, will Southee then stop performing because his place is no longer under threat?

 

[ataraxia]

Actually lets split credit. Stokes is a twice the worth of half the others in the team, so he needed 2 jinxes. Simple as that.

 

[Flem274*]

yes bois

 

[ataraxia]

Going down the leg side.

Southee's Australian tour would become threatened tbf.

Hard to believe Santner took wickets last night. He's looked totally straight break from what I've seen of him today. Is it a pitch where the new ball does more for the spinners?

Good controlled bowling by Southee, but I worry he's going to be flatlining by the time the 2nd new ball is on offer. Should really yank him off to give Wagner a spell for 5 overs, before he and Lord Colin have a go at winning this for us.

Bahnz doing his best to earn Santa a wicket there. WAG

You get your wish.

Reckon I might've already jinxed Santner by talking about his 5-fer tbh.

Also, can someone please make Wagner angry? There's no way he'll take the wickets we need with a face less than beetroot coloured.

If Ollie Pope could unleash his inner Matt Prior here that would be great

 

[ataraxia]

Santa's economy is terribly high.

Not wanting to take credit away from him but he seemed on a high after his innings, a weary England outfit, and a helpful pitch. Perfect storm for the 3fer late in the day.

Bumble is an idiot.

Feel like if CdG was a Pokemon he'd be Machamp.

But he's not just machamp, he's urchamp and everyoneschamp

 

[Athlai]

WAGner!

 

[Flem274*]

[Flem274*]

Dharmasena shouldn't be umpiring when NZ is playing
