*Official* New Zealand in England 2021

Those were two garbage balls though

Yeah, can't even blame Bracey for those even if he is a pretty useless keeper.

 

[nzfan]

That would be before lunch, leaving two and a bit sessions to chase down 250. Brave captaincy if it happens.

Well if you're not going to be brave with 5 bowlers on the last day pitch with England playing their 2nd or 3rd xi then I don't know how we're going to win overseas.

Hilarious how the guy on debut has been our best bowler by miles and he is dropped next week.

Is that definite? I've been away, so I missed a fair bit.

You're way too kind, genuinely think he might be the worst England keeper I've seen in tests.

Ooo, down. Stiff chance, but better fielders than Crawley might've grabbed it.

Hope not. What's that going to achieve? Wouldn't erase his 10 year ago thoughts

 

[Moss]

5th day and still pretty helpful conditions for the pacers. Definitely not as easy to score freely towards setting a target as some on the thread have suggested.

That would have been such a meme Latham dismissal.

The top six isn't really that. But, as others have said, most of them aren't equipped to block for any length of time anyway.

still no decision

let's just say he's not making it easy for the selectors to ban him lol

 

[hendrix]

Just hit a few boundaries *****, we're ahead in the game we should put the pressure back on them

 

[nzfan]

Likely to get to 250 lead by lunch if we go for it. Latham is not looking defensive which is a good sign.

World has gone nuts

He was punted from Yorkshire years ago and has grown up

 

[Lillian Thomson]

The fact that Robinson is dropped after doing well will have the vacuous minds of the ECB thinking it makes a better statement.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Good situation here for Taylor to get a bit of confidence ... can just go for it and play his more natural attacking game.

 

[hendrix]

That was a nice shot from Taylor, really waited on it

looking a bit better this morning I reckon

 

[nzfan]

Latham looking good here.

 

[nzfan]

The only way he can score is to be busy. Never seen a blocking Taylor go well

I was being kind, he is even worse than Pope who was crap and that says a lot.

 

[Moss]

I thought he did a great job yesterday getting through to the close against some fine bowling. He’s very often been guilty of succumbing when the opposition build pressure. Took a leaf out of Devon’s book. Positive sign IMO.

 

[nzfan]

Taylor slogged it... go lads.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Outside the line, for me.
