This happens everywhere now, so often you miss slip catches. A real pet peeve of mine.

Cameraman quality in general seems to have decreased significantly in the last 10-15 years. Not sure what it is, are good cameramen just too expensive to employ now?

If and when Nathan Smith dismisses Zak Crawley it will become my favourite moment in the entire history of cricket.

Why is that?

Feels like a very in joke I'm missing

Martin McCague was gr8 m8.

EDIT: Bugger. He was born in Northern Ireland. Just grew up in Australia. Eesh.

It was the time when we had a lot of Saffies because they were banned, and West Indians coz they weren't good enough for them, and some randoms like Pringle, born in Kenya. 7 was very common about that time.

Chubb hates Zak. Presume he loves Nathan Smith

I think he played alongside Smith in North Otago cricket.

Latham looking pretty decent eh

Not sure if this is sarcastic, but Nathan and I were teammates in Oamaru second grade when he was 13. And I do despise what Zak Crawley represents.

He always does right up until he doesn't.

Big thanks to arse for destroying the new ball

First time seeing Carse. Looks like he should be sharing a county gaol cell with his captain.

We have a few of them

Any idea if @Prince EWS has a view on him?

 

[Howsie]

Going to be a long series for England if this is all they have on the bowling front. 40 something Anderson looked better last I saw of him

 

[ataraxia]

Leg slip/gully is a better position here than short leg IMO. Cuts off easy runs.

Carse is arse.

Any sane person knows that getting rid of Jimmeh as an option was hubris, but hey this is where we are

Not at all I wasn't aware.

Being autistic, sarcasm in the written word is my nemesis. So ironic you thought I was.

Being from the North East of England as it happens Zak Crawley is also my natural nemesis.

 

[ataraxia]

Kane might be really lucky he slipped over there lol. There was no single there.

 

[ImpatientLime]

probably as well as woakes has bowled abroad in ages. still went wicketless lol

Christchurch idiots can't even prepare a dry ground
