*Official* England in NZ 2023

[social]

Anderson 0-77 in the second innings then choked with the bat. Questions must be answered IMO.

Questions were answered by that performance

Can't wait to watch the NZC highlights of today, featuring the entirety of Stuart Broad's innings, Matt Henry's injury, and a rare Bracewell dot ball.

 

[Burgey]

Team of the series?

1. B Duckett

obviously played at a very high standard

England robbed. What a great day.

[Fuller Pilch]

Team of the series?

1. B Duckett
2. D Conway
3. K Williamson (for one innings really)
4. J Root
5. H Brook
6. D Mitchell
7. T Blundell+
8. M Henry
9. J Leach
10. S Broad
11. J Anderson

Robinson for Henry. Foakes was very good, but Blundell was amazing.

Might want to check who the batsman is

Now for few months of away from watching ball by ball cricket I guess, much needed. After a high profile series like this thanks to England and bazzball for the excitement no disrespect to Sri Lanka but don't think I'll be up for the Sri Lanka series and the second XI games in Pakistan. Unless of course Sri Lanka plays a different brand of cricket this time around and make it exciting.

Jeez has a cricketer ever had a worse 24 hours than Bracewell from late day 4? Embarrassing run out, 2 dropped catches and bowled dreadfully in favourable conditions.

The good thing is we won. No one will the remember the misses unless of course we had lost it. There'll be massive noise tonight as bracewell will get home and it'll be heard through out the town. That'll be Bracewell's sigh of relief.

PED shortage

Hopefully Wagner can raid his PEDs locker during his county stint over the winter.

 

[Smudge]

Walking straight home via McDonald's imo

Will probably walk down from Mt Vic lookout after the trip up there with the bowlers.

Albi - formerly of this parish - texted me during the day about the cricket. 5 Heef points if you can accurately guess when he texted me. His text:

“I hate this game”

Feel for the guy at least on the bowling front, as a specialist bowler he's being called upon to do a job that's above his station. Batting wise he just doesn't seem to give himself a chance most of time, yesterday for example was the perfect opportunity to get some relatively easier runs against a tiring attack. Can see the rationale for him as a no.7 though.

Bet if you asked his view now he’d change one word and add an expletive.

Robinson for Henry. Foakes was very good, but Blundell was amazing.

Henry took more wickets at a tick under 30 (Robinson over 30), and probably would've had more if some catches were held.
