[ataraxia]

good to see we're continuing to uphold the time-honoured NZ tradition of the tail doing **** all until the "uh oh we better not lose another wicket" sets in and a meme 10th wicket partnership unfolds

 

[Burgey]

Haven't really watched this today, but given the state of the game that strikes me as a quality knock by Blundell.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

What was BJW doing for NZ
Blundell doing now

 

[nzfan]

Outstanding Blundell, often scores tough runs. It's been an entertaining inning.

Is Stokes bowling leach so that the full house can be entertained? Very much possible I think. You can't even put a finger and say bad captaincy because we don't know if they do this deliberately ?

 

[Howe_zat]

I want to see other people (batting for the opposition)

 

[G. S. Kohli]

NZ will not Declare the innings for sure
Do you think eng take new ball ?

 

[nzfan]

I think the game is even stevens now... only like 40 odd runs. And we'll be bowling under the dark

 

[artvandalay]

Nzl done well to get within touching distance of that first innings score.

 

[thierry henry]

Blundell is the ATG lads at the cricket batsman. Also got 100 when we were at the G.

 

[nzfan]

When did Ben Stokes become such a **** bowler? He used to be so good

 

[Ghost]

Blundball > Bazball

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Best test score by Blundell (beat his 121 previous best)

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Great innings this. Sets the game up nicely. Big test for Bazball under lights.

 

[Moss]

Wow, Blundell is really making up for all that lost time as Watling's understudy. Unfortunately he's not playing at a time when NZ are on the rise like peak Watling was, otherwise would be celebrated more.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Blundells innings is the best knock of the year so far

 

[social]

Robinson is a good bowler but he’s also a downhill skier

Bowled 18 overs in well over a day and pace/head drops as soon as things don’t come easily

Didn't watch the Pakistan series then.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

53* run last wicket partnership

 

[Ghost]

Up until his 96 against South Africa 13 months ago Blundell’s place in the side was on pretty thin ice. Now you could argue he’s our second most consistent batsman
