Lol these idiots

 

[Chubb]

Damn it. He’s gonna get Brook too I know it.

 

[hendrix]

Two regulation drops today. This is pretty bloody poor.

 

[Howsie]

Phillips is like that kid who played on your rugby team growing up. Winger, quick, good footwork, could do things no one else could. But had no ball skills, would make routine mistakes every game and everyone realised by the time you hit college he just plain sucked

Essentially he’s fast and a good athlete but has feet for hands.

Just another day of NZ test cricket. ***** can’t catch.

 

[thundaboult]

This is england's chance. Southee will easily get a 10 over spell or something here.

 

[King Kane]

That Latham drop wasn't too costly, hopefully the Phillips drop isn't too costly either, keep dropping catches though and eventually you will pay for it.

 

[Howsie]

You have O’Rourke bowling hand grenades down one end and then Southee lollipops down the other.

 

[Dick Rockett]

They removed the black V necks from our woolen sweaters again. Put them back and leave them there please.

pitch is flat as a pancake, Southee by and large bowling a good line.

O'Rourke should have a third man.

If they could teach Manu Vatuvei how to catch a ball, there's no excuse for Phillips

The problem is he's offering very little threat while doing so. Woakes-esque.

 

[_Ed_]

There's a risk of these two getting away from us a bit this afternoon. Might be worth giving Phillips a try to see if he can entice a few errors, like Bashir did yesterday.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Sure.

Genuinely think he bowled well this morning though.

Southee is still capable of bowling good spells but you can sense his margin for error getting smaller and smaller. Sometimes it feels like batsmen are reacting to him off the pitch like a spinner.

 

[smellcricketintheair]

This is getting easy for both batsman..bring the spinner pls

 

[ashley bach]

123-4 @SillyCowCorner1

 

[Mike5181]

Smith's pace in that over is a bit worrying. Getting down to 128-132.

 

[Chubb]

They really are trying to ruin his debut aren’t they?

 

[smellcricketintheair]

oh boy.. Latham. catching unicorns there

 

[ataraxia]

Hey Gary have you thought of getting these guys to do some catching practice for once?
