M. Bracewell can join us at the under 10's training this week. Running between the wickets has been a work on for them, but even they don't run that poorly.
Sound like a shocker from him at a terrible time. If you’re going to be a part rounder and get selected you’d better make the absolute most of every chance you get and not squander it with dumb shit.
Bring back Mitch Santner.

If he really doesn't want to play Tests he just had to say so. He didn't have to be quite so idiotic to get thrown out...

Crawley nearly getting out every second ball. Nearly not good enough though, we need some lucky breaks.

We've not had the rub of the green this series. Still, you know l kind of make your own luck and England have been very aggressive and successful doing it
-
In fairness we needed like 7 quick wickets with the new ball if we were a chance. That opportunity has passed now, looking like another easy win for England on the cards.
-
I'll claim that one

I guess his Uncle Brendon will be in the newspaper calling him "pea-brain!"

Such a meek way for our innings to close - losing the last five wickets for 28 runs and, frankly, a lot of it is on Bracewell, given that Blundell ended up throwing his wicket going for a tenth wicket slog.
It's very annoying, given that we were just at the start of things getting exponentially more difficult for England.
258 shouldn't be tough on what I perceive this pitch to be.
300 might have given us a shot.
350 would have us in the game.
We really needed Bracewell to make 30+ and he didn't give himself a chance because of a schoolboy error.
FFS!!!

it's as bad a dismissal as you'll see - and the consequences were massive. England were out of it; gift a wicket, adn three more followed.
I'm still cross.

He must do a great job of mowing Stead's lawn because anyone else would be dropped never to play for the BCs again

To have them out there for 160 overs, will they cash in against a tired team... or, lose 4 wickets in 4 overs.m and gift the game?

@Chris-B said in Black Caps v England:
@nzzp Me too.
I saw it on the news.
Just caught it on the highlights.
That was terrible.
My sons team would have all done better and I’m not exaggerating because they pretty much had a whole training session on it after some bad run outs last year. They learnt. Bracewell obviously hasn’t.

Kane's wicket was really unlucky too. There was spikes on the snicko before it hit the bat, then marginally higher spikes as it went past. Had to be the faintest of faint edges, I wonder if hotspot would have showed anything.
But yeah that run-out was absolutely a droppable offense at this level.

Unfortunately I think taking 2/54 is more than enough to keep him on.
