    **Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    Well bugger, that's a big wicket. England on top now

    Don't think so, there were a few edges that fell short of slip but none that were actually dropped iirc

    England dropped one that I recall. Stokes at mid-off off Phillips first innings. Difficult chance, though probably would back him to catch it. That's it though I think

    Yes, very much this. We - and, it seems, most of the other test teams around the world - seem to go far too quickly to Wagnerball as soon as either a batsman plays some aggressive shots, or the lower order comes in. Against certain players, like say Santner, or Woakes, who have a clear weakness...

    Well, that's 3 consecutive test losses at home for us, 2 vs Australia and now 1 to England. And then throw in the losses to South Africa and Bangladesh recently too and our home record is not looking so flash. And in all those games slackness, poor fielding and dumb cricket have played a big...

    This is ****ing awful batting, Duckett should've been out 6 times already if there was any justice in the world

    This but unironically

    It's looking good, England have eight #11s iirc

    I think it's fine to give Southee a look first up - if it's swinging he could be dangerous. But if he's looking slow and innocuous then he has to be pulled off straight away

    I mean, he took it on on that last ball there and got out...

    He'll bowl 5 to start off the innings

    **Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    Nice to get a lead above 100 but this is a pretty flat pitch now, little bit of variable bounce but nothing drastic. So I think England 78 all out is a realistic shout

    A few boundary shots off the final ball of the over a couple of times now - Mitchell showing faith in O'Rourke

    I'm sure they'll learn, they're only young. Altogether now: that's just the way we play

    Love O'Rourke's attitude with the bat. Knows what his job is, tries to do it. Wish some of the other bowlers would do the same

    **Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    Oh that's a totally arsey catch on replay. Dropped it into his chest but just managed to cling on

    Southee making sure nobody mistook his 60-odd in India for a late career realisation of how to bat sensibly

    **Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    Beat me to it. Should've bowled England out for 150

    **Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    Wow this revolutionary tactic of bowling normally seems to be working for England. Abandon it quickly I say

    **Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    Can't wait for tomorrow when we bowl England out for 43 chasing 62. Will paper over the cracks gloriously and we'll march on to Wellington with everything right in the world
