    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!

    Ummmm, dunno if that’s entirely accurate

    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

    How's the conservative selections going for you Gary? Can't expect to win test matches if you're top order is failing. Surely there must be some changes ahead of the next test. With the series lost they have nothing to lose by giving other guys a crack.

    Heaviest home defeat by runs - but, clearly not as bad as when Courtney Walsh dynamited us.

    But Timmy and Conway will have to play in Hamilton because reasons. No doubt Daryl Mitchell will have some words from a PR playbook to explain it all.

    I think they'll bring in Young for Conway, but I wouldn't bet big money on it.

    I bet Timmy plays.

    It’s still early in his career but I have to say I’m not quite on the RR bandwagon yet.

    He looks a million bucks but is far too susceptible to some careless shit.

    Out caught four out of four times this series. Today was a perfect opportunity to make a big hundred at home but he squandered it really needlessly

    ( even though the result was a forgone conclusion )
