*Official* England in NZ 2023

[Kenneth Viljoen]

I am surprise that MSD also played same # of 90 test as Ben Stokes 110*)why MS hit only 78 odd sixes.

78 sixes in 90 tests is still pretty good , but I guess the approach matters when it comes to sixes, I'm surprised Sehwag never made the top 5 more than Dhoni , he was playing Bazball almost every innings it seemed when he was playing.

Most Sixes in Tests (Top 5) :

109* -Ben Stokes
107 - Brendan McCullum
100 - Adam Gilchrist
98 - Chris Gayle
97- Jacques Kallis

And now the chase for Pant to break that 'now evolving & increasing' record is on.

He's the only one on the list who can practically do it.

Wags is getting munsoned in this match.

Why didn't Southee bowl here?

What radio is this on locally? Doesn't seem to be on SEN

Today FM have the rights, but I don't think they're actually doing any commentary.

I think the rights expire next season, so hopefully SENZ manages to snag them, Today/Magic Talk have been atrocious.

because msds overrated

 

[NZTailender]

The radio had been talking up Bracewells bowling, seemingly quite impressed by the rip he was giving the ball and now he's nabbed an important wicket. Is he actually bowling well? Will I start to begrudgingly like him?

 

[NZTailender]

Southee should bring himself on here

 

[Daniel CC]

Already have enough

 

[thundaboult]

that strokes n folks partnership too it away from us i reckon

 

[Fuller Pilch]

50/50 now.

Macewell 5-fer and run a ball 50 to finish the chase tomorrow.

NZ captain far too reactive , most have been to Bazball , you can't be going at 5-6 runs an over and simply concede that's how they play , reason why Anderson is so good these days he gives absolutely nothing to the batsman .

The only bowler he can rely on is himself and he's underbowled himself imo. Plus should've given Mitchell a nibble. Tbf with the pink ball under lights shouldve opened with himself and Mitchell really. Get some CdGness to the attack.

Yeah, possum in the headlights stuff, innit. England playing ‘blitzkrieg’ cricket and the opposition capitulate in the face of it.

Gotta feel for foakes tbh. Ignored for buttler for so long, and he's most likely gonna get dropped when bairstow get's back despite averaging 47 and counting since baz took over while crawley continues to be a passenger.

He's not bowling badly that's for sure. There's fair bit of spin, it's turning quite a bit.

Not like you'll get out every other ball but Stokes was eyeing him up all the while and missed one that was tossed up. Still courageous of bracewell to toss it up. Well deserved wicket. Not so much Root's but made Stokes to commit mistake.

That said now is the time to bring back Wagner and clean up the tail.

By chance Robinson gets hold of couple of balls from bracewell the game can get away

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Tickner!

Could he be our new Wags?
