*Official* England in NZ 2023

[social]

That’s atrocious

 

[Meridio]

Hahahahahahahaha

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Wagner gets rid of Extraordinary wicket
Catches that win matches

154/4*

 

[thierry henry]

That was almost worth coming for

 

[OverratedSanity]

It's actually kind of hilarious Root and Kohli's career averages are still so close to each other.

 

[mr_mister]

Bazball has gone from legit viable tactic, possibly GOAT tactic to a stupid gimmick in my eyes in about 10 overs

 

[Flem274*]

Root doing his bit to keep the great man's average intact and get to 250 wickets.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

England are throwing this away against one of the most toothless NZ attacks I’ve ever seen. Bazball’s gone too far!!!

 

[ataraxia]

Damn, I really like that shot from Root. But full Wagner isn't probably the best bowler to go on – an easy length Kuggs or Tickner would be better

 

[Meridio]

There's being positive, Bazball, don't let the bowlers settle on a length...and then there's taking the piss. And cricket bites you in the arse so often, taking the piss isn't really recommended.

 

[mr_mister]

Bazball has jumped the shark

 

[Darwin Award]

Just dumb.

Silly shot.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Southee might need to take 15 wickets in this match lol good bowling

150/3 isn't a bad showing if you ignore the speed. We can still turn this into 250 all out if we hold our nerve.

May be 329 all out

 

[Flem274*]

Bazball sacrificing England's first ATG since 1678 for the greater good would be peak war crime.

 

[ataraxia]

Calling a shot bad just because it resulted in a wicket is terrible stuff, stop it guys.

 

[Burgey]

I love that the CA site has a "boss mode" on the live scores, which turns it into an excel spreadsheet

 

[thierry henry]

Pure arse from Brook so far. Will go big because bad cricket flourishes under BazBall

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Calling a shot bad just because it resulted in a wicket is terrible stuff, stop it guys.

Bazball will have a batsman constantly flirting with that fine line between aggressive and reckless.

Hasn't been great viewing, pure luck with some of these Brook shots

 

[Binkley]

Mike Atherton was just saying Tickner needs to work on bowling a consistent line and length. I bet coaches have been telling Tickner that for at least 15 years.
