A main weapon for Boults success historically has been swing.
Noticed in NZ and test in England he invariably bowls the ball with a scrambled seam. As a result lost swing.
Very noticeable yesterday. His wicket was a straight one on the stumps. England batters had no difficulty with Boult yesterday.Wagner, Southee, Henry, Jamieson all swinging it nicely due to good seam presentation.
This needs sorting ASAP

He's definitely getting some swing, it's been noticeable in some spells, but it's been early swing which gets predictable fast against top batsmen. I think he's trying to mix it up with the scrambled seam where it can cut back the other way and catch batsmen off guard.

Just watching the extended highlights, man the crowd was loud, like a football match
Yep. I chose a great day to be there. We all agreed in the end of day wrap after a solid days boozing on the terraces, that we had witnessed one of the great days in NZ cricket history.
The crowd quietened down a bit in the last session and the quality of the chants directed at us certainly lessened.
There seemed to be an air of confidence around our tailenders that I had not witnessed before. Both Patel and Henry looked good.

What we’d give for a guy like Chris Cairns to address the imbalance in the team currently……
If only there were a hard hitting all rounder with big match temperament and a Kiwi passport in the UK at the moment...
Or a hard hitting all-rounder with a big match temperament and a Kiwi passport who's actually eligible for us and has a good test batting record (but needs to improve his bowling average)....
True. What’s the Neesh up to ?
Throwing darts at a board that has Tim Southee's face on it?

There’s obviously a joke I’m missing, can you elaborate ?

First ball Boult mops it up.

What he said…. 🤨

Nice first ball from a guy who has apparently forgotten how to swing it.

Jez, that didn't take long. NZ need 38 runs to win.

This from Cricinfo comments -
Praise for this NZ side that is strong enough to have made six changes from Lord's and still mopped the floor with the home side. They came to Fortress Edgbaston yesterday and made it look like a bouncy castle... the only real question for this morning is how quickly England can be deflated and folded away, -
Great team effort from the NZ bowlers.

How embarrassing will it be if we make hard work of the chase? Please do it in a canter. Please.
-
Surely not even the BCs can fuck it up from here?

Probably not but 26 is still our and the world record low score...

Here is the article. Pretty brutal on England while heaping praise on the Black Caps

Fair enough. We’re good and they’re shit.

Outdated stereotype. We’re a world class team now.
-
Fair play to the Barmy Army for making a lot of noise for their team even in these circumstances.
-
Latham just 6 runs away from 4000 test runs according to the cricinfo commentary.
-
Joe Root would be playing for the draw in these circumstances.

Hard to forget the old memories. There's a lot of scar tissue there. These boys are doing a lot to heal the wounds of all those ill fated English tours
-
Conway pushes at one. Caught behind. 6-1. 32 runs needed for NZ. 9 wickets needed by England.
-
That's a shame for Devon. He'll be disappointed but he's done the hard work. Time for the others to finish this off
-
Aw fuck, was hoping for a 10 wicket win.
-
My scar tissue is starting to itch.
-
28 to get
-
NZ 15-1. 23 more needed.
-
All of the non playing squad have dressed in their whites. Looking the part when making history
-
We have never won at Edgbaston apparently. I'd rather we go out in style than with a whimper
-
Latham has got his 4000th Test run.
-
21 to get. Young takes one in the cods
-
"Here's Tobias: "Really wouldn't want to be Gary Stead right now. The selection dilemmas for New Zealand ahead of the WTC final are enormous. This strength of depth is definitely a good problem to have especially given how well Young, Henry and Patel have preformed in this match. I'd almost back a side that will have Jamieson at No. 7, Wagner at 8, Southee at 9, Patel at 10 and Boult at 11. A real shame for Henry because I'm sure he won't get picked." Think I'd prefer to be Stead than Chris Silverwood, though"
From Cricinfo's commentary, can't argue with that last sentence...
-
Broad has it moving big time
-
@no-quarter The Aegeas Bowl in Southampton has a hotel in the ground and can be turned into a self-contained COVID-bubble. Lords doesn't have a hotel and is surrounded by a busyish residential area. Totally understandable move given the COVID situation in the UK and in India.
-
Latham barely moves driving down the ground and it's 17 to win
-
@canefan just hoping our guys can get some similar movement when we are playing India.

I have to think we have an advantage. We've played a couple of tests already, regardless of the pitch conditions the general conditions are very similar to home. But it will come down to execution
-
A quick scan of the Internet suggests it will swing at Southampton. And our bowlers love the Duke ball
