[Siam]

@chris-b there's a chapter of nz cricket folklore vacant for Ross to match Daniel Carter's swansong.

That would be both fitting and worthy🙂

crikey! Conway brings up his ton with a golf shot 6! Wow, what a way to go.

To the manner born!

I’m sure that he is very polite.

Manor born is a pun derived from the above. But I'm sure you knew that.

@virgil yes I done woke up this morning innit

[canefan]

Walking the highlights package and that bat sound is very tinny. It's like they forgot to put the filter on the mike

Faaaaaaking ell geeza

[Siam]

@canefan i can't believe anyone thinks that is anything but poor audio. All elite bats are the basically the same. In fact only a handful of blokes in the world make them all.

[canefan]

Devon looks so bloody calm. Smiling like he's down at the local ground on a Saturday afternoon. What a talent, what temperament. And what an audacious way to bring up his ton

@canefan classically kiwi century celebration too🙂

Apparently debuted at the same age as Hussey🤔

Yep, for a TV series.

Perfect day for cricket, 3 wickets, and still only 86 overs bowled. Ridiculous. How about a little less unity and navel gazing and more cricket and the sport may be a bit more appealing to groups who have never been excluded. Fucking joke.

Que?

[Siam]

@booboo they're supposed to bowl 90

A basic grasp of the Queens wouldn’t hurt Virg, please make an effort old chap.....save the ‘fuck you bloody’ and ‘bobs and Vagene’ talk for when we play India.

[Donsteppa]

That stumps sound effect mic still sounds horrific.

[Siam]

@donsteppa even the hit on the pads sounded metallic.

[MN5]

Half ton up for Nichols. obviously reads the fern and took my advice about upping the scoring rate.

[canefan]

Important innings in support of Conway after Kane and Ross went cheaply

[canefan]

Conway seeing it like a grapefruit right now.

Tell you what, if you're a keeper in England, you better make sure you can score runs. This lad has only kept in 16 first class matches so still a novice. He's making a decent fist of it but I guess he can bat. No problem that they didn’t select outside their large squad, and Foakes has already been touted as the best gloves and in test cricket - dunno about that but he does look good and promising.

Commentators are right about how difficult lords is to keep and in all honesty this lad is doing as well or better than BJ at lords. Watling was pretty terrible in 2015, 16 byes and many fumbles.

My point? It's hard to keep tidy at lords, this kid doesn't yet have the chops but all eyes on BJ later - he'll definitely want to make an improvement on last time there.
