    Couldn’t really ask for a worse set of performances following India.

    Ravindra gone.

    He is far more style than substance overall

    To think there's another humiliation to come. From a three-nil whitewash in India to a three-nil whitewash at home.

    Carse comes on and takes a terrific caught and bowled.

    Latham gone, 33/3.

    Provided Ravindra and Mitchell each get a double ton we should do this pretty comfortably

    Doesn't have to be Ravindra and Mitchell to get the double tons you mention.

    Phillips and Blundell, with some chip-ins from the lower order will be fine also.

    Blundell saving us from an absolute humiliation.

    Mitch Hay can unpack his suitcase and if Phillips hoped to bat at 6 anytime soon he can put those thoughts from his mind.

    The way he got out he's more likely to move down in the order!

    Sounds like a general failure from all concerned

    That’s enough from you.

    Your team lost the first test to a team that lost 3-0 at home to a team that is about to get hammered 2-0 at home.

    So basically your team sux way more than ours.

    England > New Zealand > India > Australia

    Blundell playing a career saving knock in a batting effort where there is absolutely no pressure. Great. Another 10 tests for him.

    These guys are inconsistent flakes. Ravindra will be the next to lose an IPL contract at this rate of up and down performance. And Conway will be a walking wicket in Plunket Shield by the end of the season. Dire.

    Was gonna say - is Blundell the anti-Watling - I.e. scores runs when it doesn't matter

    Tough gig replacing a bunch of all-time NZ greats. We had the same 'joy' in the 1990s as well, particularly after the world cup.

    Well done Blundell.

    Massive pressure on his place in the side and this won’t mean much in terms of the result but this has been a bloody nice innings.

    May as well go on for 200 now.

    Blundell should need a hundred here to save himself

    Well done, Blundell.

    Some shades of his early series vs Australia when pretty much everyone else was falling apart. (not Wags).

    He’s done enough to play next week.

    Conway and Southee must go though.

    Are you the same guy ready to cut loose the guy who just scored a ton? 🤔

    @MN5 said in Black Caps vs England Series:

    Conway, Blundell and Southee must have some sort of bet on to see who can remain the biggest passenger in the side.

    Yep. Confirmed.

    Probably learn a bit about cricket before you go making up theories. 😜

    I think Nathan Astle gave Tom Blundell a call during the drinks break for some advice

    EDIT : Oh……this comment aged rather poorly

    They’re leaving the run a bit late but a double hundred from Southee and a dogged 50 from O’Rourke should see us home
