*Official* New Zealand in England 2021

Not like we didn't predict this line up would fail. Going to be a long year this playing against the top 3 sides around.

 

[Athlai]

Too easy, can’t be playing that second ball against a proper outswing bowler.

Yeah genuinely the last sort of shot you should play against Southee/Boult

 

[nzfan]

Good on Southee but England batting is rubbish

 

[Meridio]

That really is atrocious technique on the drive. Not much foot movement, weight not through the ball and a weird flick of the wrists almost across the ball. On your second delivery, having only just kept out the third.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good on Southee but England batting is rubbish

Not that good really. It is rubbish when Stokes and Buttler are in so with them missing it is utter garbage.

 

[Athlai]

Bracey isn't looking too hot here

Blows my mind how your ODI lineup looks like it averages 350 an innings while the Test lineup seems a lot weaker

 

[BoyBrumby]

Aye. No Woakes or SCurran to dig us out today either.

Resting the IPL players not looking the best shout.

 

[Jack1]

England in deep **** now. Need Burns to play a special innings now and some
Support from the two debutants. Last three can’t hardly bat so England are ****ed if Burns doesn’t hit 100+ with some support.

 

[nzfan]

Please please play your first xi, we want to watch some good cricket. Stokes, Butler, Bairstow and I can even take Roy. The pitch is doing nothing. Hope Bracey goes all right, his debut game. Hameed anyone?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Most England batters head is on the 6th stump. How do they judge where the off stump is I don't know. They may not nick it but most are lbw candidates. They can only play square.

You think it's a Steve Smith influence?

Actually I hope we destroy them

 

[straw man]

Woo!!

I think Sir Benjamin is broken, but your point is fair.

Started with Buttler being given leave after the first test in India.

Jesus, Bracey goes for a blob as I type. Huge gap there. Ordinary stuff.

 

[Meridio]

That's a very nice sight

 

[Athlai]

The end of a test career

 

[nzfan]

You think it's a Steve Smith influence?

Smith has rubber wrists and comes from Aussie where ball comes on to the bat really well. England decks are slow.

Kane bats on off stump as well but strong all sides of the wicket. I hear our coaching guys are trying to get rest of the batters to follow that. Hope no one does that and sticks to their game. You can't be kane or Smith just because you take off stump guard.

 

[Gnske]

The absolute state of English batsmanship.

I'd rather watch the Irish County 2nds

 

[cnerd123]

Bracey got pwned
