*Official* England in New Zealand 2019

[Spark]

England have gotten out in some really bemusing ways today given the match situation.

You mean apart from all the times when it's worked or at least gotten a hell of a lot closer to working than the alternative?

 

[TT Boy]

Great catch, but you have to question the quality.
If you thought Taylor’s dismissal was bad watch this.

 

[ataraxia]

Leach was the key dismissal here.

nah was just reacting to that last wicket

 

[Athlai]

Santa just batted a whole day and has then bowled 30 overs pretty much entirely on the trot. Catches like that shouldn't be possible.

 

[Flem274*]

the prev series between these two sides was sealed by two bowlers stone walling

 

[Chrish]

What Stokes did was unforgivable.. WTF was he even thinking?

Incredible player, isn't he?

This could pretty much be referring to anything he has ever done

Not when you begin doing it 120 overs out from the end of the match

A peach of a delivery will eventually come. If they had just played with 1st innings mindset from the get go last night they could be 250/7 right now. Wickets were always gonna fall at intervals but you'd at least be getting more runs

 

[SteveNZ]

Leach was the key dismissal here.

Completely agree. The only guy who's prepared to dig in for any period of time.

 

[Athlai]

Neil Wagner is an idiot - Hesson

 

[ataraxia]

I was going to say terrible effort from Southee but Ian Smith bet me to it.

yeah in a situation where you're likely to knock off the deficit scoring at a normal rate it forces the captain to take away catchers earlier. They're just sitting ducks atm with kane sticking fielders wherever he wants.

Jimmy Neesham status: Roasted

it says a bit about cw that hesson calls jimmy socially stunted and we considered him one of the normal posters

Should open ahead of Raval IMO.

Yeah but on the other hand he said he had a very very high IQ and we only considered him one of the normal posters.
