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

[grecian]

I think Henry is bowling almost worse than Southee, this innings.

 

[Silver Silva]

A 12-for , a test match hundred and a hattrick in your first 6 months in Test cricket, Gus Atkinson already done three things that most bowlers don't do in their entire career lol.

 

[CartyDurham]

Maybe New Zealand need to doctor the pitch for spin like Pakistan ?

these pitches are very similar to England really

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Don't forget the PEDs

 

[thundaboult]

Southee's run up...it's like he's running on sand

its a walk up

On the Lords honour board something a few all time greats didn’t manage , Tendulkar for one iirc

Another Blundell drop

 

[vandem]

5 of 6 wickets today have fallen to fuller length balls. But in 8th over NZ have their world class new ball bowler going to short balls with 3-4 on boundary ...

 

[thundaboult]

Get pace back up to 135 pls Smith

most of our pace bowlers simply dont have the capacity to bowl mid 130s through a whole test, they drop off frighteningly after a spell or 2

 

[Silver Silva]

It's not nice to see a host team getting dominated like this.

 

[straw man]

Another Blundell drop

While it was a very tough one, when your side is getting spanked and you've been poor with the gloves for a long while, you really want to take that and surprise everyone.

 

[CartyDurham]

Looks a beautiful ground to watch cricket. If I ever win a lottery , I’d love a trip over to New Zealand

we have two of our kids living in Australia with their families so I would love a trip there as well

Yeah just way too much short rubbish. Baffling after NZ just watched England skittles them by pitching it up and attacking the stumps.

Yes it is

Again, I think he made it harder than it needed to be. Just slow to pick up the line and get his feet moving.

 

[Silver Silva]

Yes it is

From a neutral point of view of course, England have been brilliant, so brave and skillfull in their execution.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Daughter has spotted me on tv both days

Blimey Bethell hits the ball cleanly.

 

[chris.hinton]

New Zealand don't have the tools. We are coasting

The relaunch is working and we are better then ever.

 

[CartyDurham]

50 partnership for Duckett and bethell Very comfortable really

 

[King Kane]

Bethell can Bazball, got a feeling he might stick around in this England team.
