**Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Hurry up England, I want to make the Will Young joke before I go to bed!

 

[trundler]

Henry would've made better use of this deck. Shame it'll probably have flattened out by the time he gets a go.

 

[Skyliner]

Congratulations on a wonderful career, Tim Southee.

 

[Skyliner]

Will Young would have been in by now had he been batting at number 3. Our opening partnership has been averaging just 5.5 overs of late.

 

[BazBall21]

There's plenty of help. England should have made the breakthrough by now.

 

[trundler]

The 8 byes so far illustrate why you can't trust keeping stats at all

 

[Skyliner]

Baz working diligently on player analysis while the commentators slander him, claiming he is having a punt on the gee gees.

The England brains trust have their BurgerFuel shirts on.

 

[SteveNZ]

Why aren’t some other commentators getting a go? Scotty Stevenson is absolutely punishing.

He does seem to be on more than anyone else

Beautiful pot plant mate

 

[Bahnz]

He does seem to be on more than anyone else

Tend to think he's just more annoying and therefore noticeable

I have the SENZ commentary going. Coney, Bracewell, Garth Galloway and Smith.

Beautiful pot plant mate

Haha, credit to my wife for that.

 

[Neil Young]

Katey Martin was certainly determined to ring all she could out of her leave joke. Painful.

 

[King Kane]

Williamson must be enjoying this opening partnership and not having to come in early against the new ball for once.

I don't think Stokes would be enjoying it that much though, his decision to bowl first isn't looking too good right now.

He's still not as annoying as Hayden on the Aussie test coverage, not only he is on more than anyone else but he never shuts up when he is on.

 

[jcas0167]

Did check out the TVNZ commentary briefly and enjoyed Richardson talking about how when tail enders would try someone's bat in the changing room they'd start playing these great air shots they'd never play in the middle while batsmen would play a forward defence.

 

[BazBall21]

If we concede 400+, we will find out if England are taking this Test wholly seriously. It feels like there's something to prove in that respect after the last test of the summer was such a farce.

England could have done with getting Kane to the crease while the conditions have been bowler friendly. Just haven't been consistent enough. Relentlessness isn't the strength of any of the bowlers on show.

Baz working diligently on player analysis while the commentators slander him, claiming he is having a punt on the gee gees.

They're right

 

[BazBall21]

England haven't bowled well overall but there have been a few moments like that. How has that evaded everyone?
