*Official* England in NZ 2023

[Tom Flint]

Nice to see a good crowd in. Nz board must be gutted they don't play longer series against England.

Pretty sure the first three days of the 2nd Test at the Basin are a sell-out as well.

 

[Daniel CC]

Please, please drop Crawley

They'll put out a fake report again about how each test is losing NC 100 million dollars or something

 

[OverratedSanity]

Oh this is one of those Broad spells

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

have to say bazball is stunningly effective...wouldn't be surprised if other teams try to mimic the approach...

Anderson goes under 2.5 an over in 7 of the last 8 calender years ..Surely that has to be challenged somehow .

 

[weeman27bob]

Zak's really misinterpreted what people mean when they're saying "drop Crawley" this test

Must be great for the local economy as well.

Can someone explain the part about Bazball that's made their bowling good as well

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Pitching the ball up... Root not being involved in tactics and bowling changes.

 

[Flametree]

No arguing that it's great bowling but shouldn't batsmen be getting their pads in line with these and being lbw instead of bowled....

 

[Moss]

Shaping up to be a rout looks like. For what’s supposed to be NZ’s stronger suit the batting has become quite unreliable.

Their bowling was never really that big of an issue anyway.

 

[thierry henry]

Sack everyone

Also pitching it up more under McCullum. They are still miserly but bowl more wicket taking balls.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Nicholls to get a gutsy 50 and a stay of execution for the 2nd test.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Blundell, Tickner, and Macewell the only real positives in this test.
