*Official* England in New Zealand 2019

[Kirkut]

The real test of our bowling attack will be next year. Up until now we have feasted on Australia without Warner and Smith, Windies and Bangladesh.

 

[Sanjay kumar]

Why are the attendances in New Zealand so low?

 

[Flem274*]

southee's deliveries are practically rolling through to watling. the shorter henry is getting noticeably more zip.

 

[straw man]

Burns must be on for a score here, having been dropped twice. Reckon he's a pretty good batsman too and certainly has nice shots - the least of England's top order worries.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

TIL I am pretty much exactly the same age as Zak Crawley

Similar fielding prowess too

 

[Flem274*]

burns is basically a daniel flynn who can make it past 40

nz can see it too with their trolling of his drives

 

[Sanjay kumar]

This is a genuinely big day for English test match batting.

He catches pigeons at slip though.

 

[Flem274*]

get southee off and bowl henry + wagner

 

[Howsie]

I think New Zealand are going to miss Ferguson today

 

[GoodAreasShane]

He catches pigeons at slip though.

Ahh OK maybe I was a little harsh, but I can't say I am familiar with his work at county level.

Kinda do hope the bloke does well though

 

[Flem274*]

looking forward to simon doull pumping mitchells tyres all day because he hates cdg

i like mitchell ftr, but not our commentators various fetishes. ian smith shouldnt be allowed to talk about doug bracewell.

 

[Flem274*]

so this is the fast clay yes? and we didn't take the chance to play ferguson and wagner in tandem but we have 2 blokes under 130?

we're a weird team.

 

[Howsie]

Oh bowl Santner ffs, Mitchell shouldn’t be bowling here

 

[Flem274*]

played burns

 

[Sanjay kumar]

England 100-2 in the Test.

Surely it's all going to go wrong soon!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Wasn't expecting this to be honest.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

I'm finding it weird that Henry has hardly been sighted today.

 

[Grasshopper]

Good solid session for England so far.

Time for Santa.

 

[Sanjay kumar]

Wish England had chose to bat first they could have put the game away by now
