    I'm not watching - is Blundell standing up to the wicket? Definite advantage if the keeper does that to make sho So he's sped up this innings has he?

    *Official* England in NZ 2023

    If we assume NZ have to declare to try to square the series, then I still think England will win this. Just can't see the NZ attack stopping them on a wicket that we have demonstrated is rather good for batting. Pity this wasn't the first test of the series when we might aim to just play for a...

    Will help if he can stop dropping sitters like the one yesterday (which happily didn't cost). I know Watling and McCullum weren't perfect keepers by old school standards but they were pretty good for players picked largely for their batting.

    Since I don't follow first class cricket these days (indeed since ball--by-ball radio commentary stopped being a thing, so a long time now), I don't know much about current non-test players. I had a look through a few current player's first class averages (thank you NZC archive, great...

    Having a look at the first class stats this year the stand out bat is McConchie with 450 @ 90. What's he like?

    Question... is this NZ's best ever batting line-up in terms of averages? I make it approximately : 41 + 52 + 52 + 26 + 37 + 58 + 41 + 25 + 20 + 16 +13 = 381. I can't imagine any line-up every averaging more than that. Excluding sides that had one player with an insane averages after one or...
