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

[King Kane]

Smith v Bethell is looking like Southee v Duckett, this won't be lasting much longer at this rate.

 

[Johan]

good job Bethall, good job NZ making Baz believe Bethall is any good.

 

[ashley bach]

Duckett has done well in test cricket to be fair to him but come the day he loses form and luck he'll be exposed for the fraud he is.

 

[_Ed_]

O'Rourke's having a decent day.

 

[ashley bach]

WOR 1-0(0.1) @2.22pm

 

[ImpatientLime]

Duckett has done well in test cricket to be fair to him but come the day he loses form and luck he'll be exposed for the fraud he is.

nah he's 100% legit, fearless and capable against spin and pace. needs to fix that conversion rate tho.

lal some timing

*bethball*

 

[King Kane]

If only they got O'Rourke on earlier.

 

[_Ed_]

Oof, that was a beauty.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

O'Rourke to Duckett, OUT
banged in, uppercut... straight to deep third! Duckett throws his head back. Short and sharp, Duckett looks to flash it away for half a dozen, but picks out Henry on the rope

you lose your "throwing head back" privileges playing an uppercut with a third man imo

 

[_Ed_]

Oof, that was a beauty.

But then Root proceeds to hit the next three to the boundary. Sigh.

 

[GIMH]

Yes Joe

 

[ashley bach]

That little boy doing the interview to say Southee will be missed has been paid off

 

[_Ed_]

Surely he's gloved this.

EDIT: Or not.

 

[straw man]

Where's Billy Bowden when you need him

 

[GIMH]

This bowling is filthy

 

[smellcricketintheair]

what's with the short ball strategy. bollocks

 

[sayon basak]

Nice.

 

[Dick Rockett]

Because I'm a nerd, here are anagrams of the pommie team:

Zak Crawley	A Lazy Wreck
Ben Duckett	Netted Buck
Jacob Bethell	Belch be a Jolt
Joe Root	Jot "Oo-er!"
Harry Brook	"Arrr!" by Hook
Ollie Pope	Pee? I'll Poo
Ben Stokes	Bot's Knees
Chris Woakes	Aw, Sick Horse
Gus Atkinson	Soaking Nuts
Brydon Carse	Dry Boner Sac
Shoaib Bashir	Sahib, or Sahib?

 

[Johan]

@sayon basak Hey, 23* is not that different than 25*
