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

[King Kane]

The highest opening partnership for the series lol, it just shows how bad Conway and Crawley have been in this series.

 

[straw man]

Plenty of swing and seam movement available for the bowlers, only found their radars the last couple of offers though.

 

[trundler]

That's a proper drop

 

[BazBall21]

Latham dropped

 

[BazBall21]

There's been assistance in the air and off the pitch but England have been inconsistent.

England missing Woakes already, he is a model of consistency.

 

[BazBall21]

Bashir v Potts racing for the ball there was like me against Usain Bolt

Woakesless Tests are non-cannon.

 

[Betterpolo]

New here so apologies if discussed before, but have we commented on Atkinson's apparent drop in pace since his debuts series? I know the results have been good so no quibbles on performance but seems a change from the late 80s quick he promised to be.

 

[Meridio]

Pitch seems quite two-paced - it hits the live grass and carries through at head height to the keeper, whereas if it hits a dead spot it's knee height or below. England been a bit inconsistent with their lines and lengths early, haven't really made the most of the assistance that is there.

 

[BazBall21]

That's a peach. Need a bit of luck here. Couple of breaks for Latham.

 

[SteveNZ]

“No dead rubbers, so much on the line….Tim Southee is almost indispensable to this team”.
- Scotty Stevenson

At least a third of this is true, there are no dead rubbers in Tests.

The last bit is typical Sumo rubbish. This being my second exposure to his dire warbling in less than 24 hours after the monstrosity that was Chasing the Fox last night

 

[SteveNZ]

This is a crucial Will Young innings. Make a hundred and the public won't accept him not being in a side for the next 2 years

 

[hendrix]

Potts put those bloody cheekbones away

 

[King Kane]

A couple of streaky shots for Young but he has still looked better than Conway so far.

 

[Skyliner]

Why aren’t some other commentators getting a go? Scotty Stevenson is absolutely punishing.

 

[Molehill]

Very average bowling so far, not put it in the right place often enough. Woakes being missed.

 

[Molehill]

I hit mute instantly when he arrived, it’s just inane drivel.

 

[Meridio]

Carse been all over the place in his spell so far but also looking a bit more dangerous

 

[Skyliner]

I hit mute instantly when he arrived, it’s just inane drivel.

You left out the ‘s’.
