TV comms say 284 highest successful chase at Trent Bridge.
Nz was on the wrong end of that 284. In the 2004 series. This current nz team reminds me very much of the 2004 team actually, on the cusp of plummeting freefall.

There is a danger England will plunder our bowling attack. I hope Timmee can come back strong and stop bowling pies. If the ball isn't jagging around I always worry that Henry is also reduced to a pie chucker. Bracewell might be crucial if the pitch starts to exhibit some variable bounce

We have certainly come down since our WTC glory. The top order aren't firing right now, and Stead keeps leaving Wags on the bench

We'll always have the inaugural WTC. I should buy a replica to mount on the wall

Henry as 3rd seamer is just poor selection. It should be treated as a specialist position. We've been lucky enough to have 3 of our best old ball bowlers of all time in this squad (albeit all declining) . Henry isnt one of those 3.

Id love to be wrong, but I think it’ll be a looooong time before we see it back on these shores.
The Mace made its way to my local club when they did their tour, so I took the young fulla along and made him have a photo. He really didn’t want to, but he’ll appreciate the significance of it one day.

I'd pick, never. It was a miracle, and came at just the right time for us.

If not for Covid robbing the Aussies of a series in SA, we could have had to play them in the final.... But you can only play who is in front of you, and we won fair and square

Either Stead or Kane or both have to answer for that one. It cost us a series in India and may cost us a series in England now

You’d like to hope that Kane wouldn’t do something so stupid…

Who selects the side? I always assumed it was the Captain and the coach together, one of the few sports where Captains have that power

For whom the bell tolls

Boult the GOAT 11

Back to back 4s for Boult

And another for the GOAT11

Damn was hoping for 300+, however some handy runs from the tail
-
No Jamieson is a massive blow though, losing a frontline seamer in a test puts you waaay behind the 8 ball.
