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

[King Kane]

Hopefully the pitch provides something for our bowlers as the overhead conditions look good for batting.

 

[straw man]

Should be an easy 13 wicket bag this match for Southee to bring up the 400 test wickets mark

 

[GIMH]

OOOH ZAK CRAWLEY

 

[_Ed_]

Henry should have had that first over.

 

[King Kane]

Not a great start for Southee with 10 off his first over and Crawley tonking him for six.

 

[mackembhoy]

OOOH ZAK CRAWLEY

Absolutely outrageous.

Exclaimed wow in unison with the commentator.

 

[thierry henry]

We can sub Southee out now right

 

[BazBall21]

Southee's end figures could be really funny if he gets tonked with the new ball.

 

[GIMH]

Henry should have had that first over.

Difference between him and Southee is almost embarrassing

 

[BazBall21]

Zak Crawley has improved his average v New Zealand.

 

[CartyDurham]

Decent start in the power play

I’ll go for 57 off 10 with 2 down

weather looks nice

 

[CartyDurham]

Absolutely outrageous.

Exclaimed wow in unison with the commentator.

Evening. Hope all is well

 

[GIMH]

That is suboptimal

 

[CartyDurham]

Beautiful ball by Henry and good low catch and Duckett goes for a duck

 

[_Ed_]

Fully expected that to be dropped.

 

[Stefan9]

All those bowlers relied primarily on seam movement rather than swing. You can be slightly slower if you rely on seam movement because it's random and late. 130kph outswing is a dying breed.

Those 3 were also more accurate then Southee. Which enabled them to still build pressure even after losing some zip.

 

[CartyDurham]

Latham got down well there. Was he guilty of drops in the first test ?

 

[King Kane]

Good bowling from Henry and a good catch from Latham.

Hopefully that's a sign our catching will be better in this test.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Was he guilty of drops in the first test ?

Yep. Shame he didn't have another in him there.
