7. Sajid broke youAnd they were in Pakistan anyway. I've really lost it.
Did you bolt out seeing him?Look at this tough guy...such a brave, hardline stance - surely he'd walk right up to Boult if given the chance and demand he drop everything immediately and report to serve his country.
Or...it could happen where he basically bumps into him at a Tauranga shopping mall today, gets all flummoxed about seeing the great left armer in the flesh, stares a bit, then slinks off without saying anything.
What a hero our man Steve is.
I reckon they'll get some play in, given the strong drainage, but there'll probably very likely be time off the park.I'm guessing there will be no cricket today at Mount given the weather.
Even worse. Steve saw Boult in Tauranga, Mount Manganui is technically a suburb of Tauranga. NZC didn't ask him to play, they probably still could even now. Hes that close.There really are like 8 people in new zealand huh
Met service says slight rain between 2 and 3 pm (about 0.2 mm) and moderate at 9 pm (1.1 mm). Looks like we may get fair bit of cricket today if the ground is in dry conditions.I reckon they'll get some play in, given the strong drainage, but there'll probably very likely be time off the park.
I do feel like it's a significant failure on our behalf that we didn't ask. Whilst I don't want to set too much of a precedent, there's just too much about this situation that suggests Boult should play. He's going to play the World Cup, we think. So why not now? Surely he wants to test himself against this England side, at home? Surely it means something to him that his side is decimated?Even worse. Steve saw Boult in Tauranga, Mount Manganui is technically a suburb of Tauranga. NZC didn't ask him to play, they probably still could even now. Hes that close.
Why are we always at a low ebb when we play Australia. Ugh.SA have 2 tests in NZ Feb 2024 and then Australia have 2 tests here in Feb/March.
That road looks pretty flooded to meLooks OK at the moment.
Shipley averages 27.5 ftr, with Jamieson out he would be in my XI right now.Worst part is that off the top of my head I can't think of that many younger pacers who can take the reigns. Southee's the only bowler in that attack who's gonna consistently perform to test quality and he's 34. Best young options look like Fisher and Jamieson, who can't stay on the park, sears, who's solid but raw, or Shipley/Smith type bowling allrounders. I rate Shipley and smith hugely but both average north of 30 in FC cricket with decent enough sample sizes.
