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

[CartyDurham]

So if 7 of your 11 batsmen give their wickets away, and you drop 7 regulation chances, how do you expect to win a test match?

Just has been a pathetic display from this team.

Multiple opportunities to take control of the match and instead we've basically gifted England a test match win. So so poor.

Far from over this mind

 

[CartyDurham]

Didn't that yorker come off toe first then bat???

outside edge of the bat

 

[Bahnz]

This is a horrifically unlucky turn at the bowling crease for O'Rourke. He'll bowl a lot worse and take a bag on another day.

 

[King Kane]

A great yorker from O'Rourke and it goes for 4, sums up his luck in this innings.

 

[Johan]

Stokes should accelerate

Amazing how it got to the boundary

it was a snorter

 

[thundaboult]

that is a pinpoint yorker at 147k after 20+ overs of bowling through a time frame of 24 overs. Carse incredibly lucky to get some bat on that. And it goes to the boundary...lol

no luck for the newbies smith and rourke

 

[trundler]

O'Rourke is a handsome man

 

[hendrix]

O'Rourke looks a million dollars to be honest.

Just very gutting to watch this type of bowling not being supported in the field.

 

[BazBall21]

I think O'Rourke has missed a trick not sending a yorker to Stokes at some point due to his pre meditated leg side footwork.

 

[Johan]

O'Rourke is a handsome man

It's kind of distracting

 

[Johan]

Watch Stokes declare at 95* to show he selfless he is

 

[CartyDurham]

Bashir is the new Monty Panesar with his batting technique

 

[Bahnz]

O'Rourke I think is the most naturally fast NZ bowler I've ever seen. Even Bond would be struggling to crack 145 on day 2, but for O'Rourke it just seems effortless.

 

[hendrix]

"Question some of the tactics of New Zealand"

Yeah, the tactic of dropping the ball 7 times seems to have been the boldest strategy, Cotton.

 

[CartyDurham]

The slow ball Yorker has gone out of the game

Eg Steve Harmison bowling Michael Clarke in 2005

sure it would clean up tailenders

Hope O’Rouke can stay fit and have a long career

 

[mackembhoy]

Brook dismissal means he has 500 runs against NZ at an average of 100.00.

O'Rourke I think is the most naturally fast NZ bowler I've ever seen. Even Bond would be struggling to crack 145 on day 2, but for O'Rourke it just seems effortless.

Has the same natural inswing too. Lovely ball position.

will play 8 test matches over a 10 year career.

Does he play much white ball stuff ?
