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

[Burgey]

I’ve said Ravindra is probably the best young player I’ve seen in a decade but there are serious questions as to whether he deserves to live after playing that shot

 

[Bahnz]

I could see this all coming unzipped very quickly now.

You guys don't deserve to win after that fielding display anyway.

Over the course of his career he'll play some sparkling innings and earn incredible amounts of praise, and people who don't watch him every game will be stunned when they see he only averages 43.

 

[King Kane]

I don't understand England's insistence on taking catches. Strange thing to do, haven't they taken notice of our demonstrations?

I miss the good old days when England had terrible fielders like Phil Tufnell, it seems like like we have employed Tufnell as our fielding coach.

 

[straw man]

That’s a curry goat cricket shot

Best description tbh

Trying to imagine Stead absolutely losing his rag at Ravindra and I just can't picture it.

I can. From what I've heard, the relationship between the two is not flash.

For some hopium, Mitchell and Blundell had that huge 3-test series in England where they scored a stack of runs, and both failed first innings of the first test. Real form starts now .

Oh yeah we lost that series 3-0 with England chasing big scores fourth innings easily.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

So I now know. He didn’t seem to appreciate my loud enquiry of “how d’ya like ya Chubb?” Ah well.

Crawley fielding in front of me now. Same shout, similar result sadly.

The pitch still looks good for batting we just need Mitchell and Blundell to dig in like Williamson and not throw their wickets away to get back in this.

Even if we get a big enough lead to challenge England in the 2nd innings we will probably drop enough catches to make it an easy run chase. though.

 

[Skyliner]

Scotty telling David Gower about those periods during a test innings when you’re playing and missing and wonder what’s going on, then - bang - one shot and you are back.

 

[Burgey]

What a beautiful shot

 

[King Kane]

A quality fifty from Williamson, he needs to turn it into a hundred.

[King Kane]

Williamson toying with Woakes.

In before Woakes gets him out.

 

[Skyliner]

Suddenly Kane dicing with danger after looking so assured.

While we're still a long way behind the match, I do like how runs are flowing atm. 67 off 15 overs this partnership.
