Black Caps v England

@No-Quarter said in Black Caps v England:
We just don't quite have enough runs to play with. That collapse is costing us the game - the dodgy Kane caught behind and then the Bracewell moment.
I haven't seen any of this test - what was "dodgy" about the Kane decision?

It was probably out, but at the same time snicko is not super reliable. There were bars before the ball got to the bat, and only slightly higher bars when it went past. On field decision was not out, and they felt that the faint bars from snicko were enough to overturn that decision, which I wasn't convinced with.

I'm also really annoyed that Kane's innings ended being caught down the leg side to a part timer, which is no doubt clouding my judgement.

Does Bracewell look like getting anyone out?
He has had a couple of decent balls that have troubled the batsmen (mostly a more watchful Stokes), but largely Root is aggressively feasting on pies. Between that and lunch hopefully he can run another partner out after eating too much.

Depends if Smithy has left anything for anyone else

We're just not getting the rub of the green - edges falling short, or going over slips.
Such is life, but damn it's annoying.
Well, at least we’ll go down as plucky losers instead of the hiding that was on the cards a couple of days back.
Has anyone got anymore straws for me to clutch ?

For a short time we were often the plucky winners...

well, well, well, second bouncer at a guy on one leg and it gets a wicket, NZ brains trust is severely lacking. how this was not tried earlier is beyond me

@Rapido nice work.
Root though, he's untouchable, he will guide England home without even breaking a sweat here.
-
love wags lol
-
We did it!! Got rid of both of them!!
Man Foakes looks solid as a rock though, can't see him getting out.

Bloody impressive to score two tons in a test, especially in a serious 4th innings chase. Losing the captaincy suits Root.
wow done...nice curse
