*Official* England in NZ 2023

[Pothas]

I think it will make him bat a bit better as well and it doesn't mess up the rest of the side.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Is the possibility of rain why England enforced the follow on?

Baz ( coach) & Stokes over Confident but fact is Its better to post quick fire 175-180 & set target of 400/410.

Adventage NZ i guess if KW whack england bowlers, He can do that.

26th test 50 for Tom Latham
Congratulation also 5000 run Milestone few minutes ago

I'm sure Pope could do it as suggested as well but it'd open up the question of who bats 3 anyway.

 

[Pothas]

Getting bored of these edges going through.

 

[ataraxia]

England have the confidence to chase anything. Setting a target only to be beaten really would defeat the point of #bazball.

Yes Stokes should open. It'll be such a gun side come Ashes time, might well be a really interesting, high-quality series.

 

[Pothas]

I'm sure Pope could do it as suggested as well but it'd open up the question of who bats 3 anyway.

Yeah i reckon Pope is probably most likely but it opens up the whole Root at 3 thing. Stokes is contributing the least in his current role so makes sense to move him.

NZ could've chased 400-410. NZ could well score 600 and still lose.

Anil bhai
Even with Rain Forcast plenty of overs left in This test today is 3rd day only

Rain not that bad like In Asian Sub -continent

 

[G. S. Kohli]

50 at his home Ground by Conway ?

 

[FBU]

No one is going to take a wicket today.

 

[Michelle Fivefer]

He requested same term as m. Amir regarding Resting his work load but ECB not Agree his demand.

Anyway he is physically fit at 40 years plus

I agree with your second sentence. The first one is highly improbable.

 

[slippy888]

Why the English in force the follow on lol

 

[Nintendo]

Latham copped that in the head last ball, why no concussion check?

 

[Michelle Fivefer]

No one is going to take a wicket today.

I think you’re right, but we say things like this in hopes of being wrong.

 

[the big bambino]

! Dempster / Jackie Mills 276 for 1st wicket record here vs England at Wellington test,
Latham/ Conway now well set after playing 180 balls so far

! English bowlers so upset of that partnership that they over step for 43 extra runs, till Frank Wolley's 7 fer restricted nz for under 450.

8 no balls only in that innings, not 43.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Latham copped that in the head last ball, why no concussion check?

We are saving the concussion checks for when Young, Nicholls, and Bracewell are batting so they can be replaced by Ravindra, Phillips, and Sodhi who will spin us to victory late on day 5.

 

[Michelle Fivefer]

Root’s back on.

 

[Athlai]

NZ playing Testball to counter Bazball

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Wow, Latham on track for his second hundred vs England/Australia/India/South Africa ... only took till his 37th test if he gets there.

 

[Daemon]

Very poor from NZ. Not going to get enough runs at this rate before the new ball ends them. I suggest they start reverse sweeping Root.
