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

[Skyliner]

There’s no show without Punch.

 

[thundaboult]

More like he'll break down with a stress fracture. It would be nice to see NZ bring a challenging attack over here.

no he wont

dammit dont jinx it

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Shoulda tried the reverse scoop Joe?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Southee's plan was to bowl like absolute pus to make O'Rourke look better when he came on, thus handing over the torch. Thank you Tim.

 

[King Kane]

Southee back on to relieve the pressure.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

O'Rourke to Brook should have been the plan 100% of the time this series, bowling from both ends 100 overs a day.

I said it straight away in ChCh and it has not changed.

What's counter to players who like to stay beside the ball and free their arms

definitely not 140kph inswing into the crotch

 

[Bahnz]

Southee back on to relieve the pressure.

Getting some nice swing though. Really he just needs to keep it in a good area and bottle up that end while O'Rourke goes to work at the other.

 

[ashley bach]

One more please to break it wide open

 

[Skyliner]

Sumo going in depth about O’Rourkes variations and strategising. So insightful.

 

[King Kane]

Getting some nice swing though. Really he just needs to keep it in a good area and bottle up that end while O'Rourke goes to work at the other.

So in other words he needs to play the Chatfield foil role with O'Rourke playing the Hadlee striker role.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Scotty is trying so hard to talk him up... but his tone of voice is giving him away. Terrible liar

 

[Skyliner]

No one doubts Southee’s competitiveness Sumo.

 

[anonymouskefe]

He’s acting like people think southee doesn’t want to be playing anymore

 

[Son Of Coco]

A bit of justification there for all of us who think Cherrington is a hack.

Of course, completely discounting any score he makes over 10 helps our argument.

 

[_Ed_]

Ooh, that was close.

 

[hendrix]

Just have O'Rourke and Henry rotating from one end and Santner bowling with a defensive field.

Southee can be specialist outfield catcher.

 

[Bahnz]

Jeez this is Curtly Ambrose stuff.

 

[ashley bach]

Yikes that was lethal from Will

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

These blokes don't know how to take one on the body for the team. Can't help poking the bat at it

 

[King Kane]

O'Rourke bowling some serious heat, Pope was in all sorts there and lucky not to be caught like Root.
