Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final

[Paekakboyz]

Boo. Nicholls gone.

[canefan]

England essentially have a 4 prong attack, with Root filling in as a 5th. They will have a tough time over the 5 days

[sparky]

Wicket. Nicholls out for 61. 286/4 Caught by Robinson at fine leg off Wood. More bounce than he was expecting.

[No Quarter]

@mn5 can wear that wicket.

[Siam]

@canefan much prefer playing them sans stokes and archer

[Siam]

A bit naff from Nicholls. Not sure if that shot is a strength of his. Good bouncer though

[sparky]

Of the 9 best batting averages in this game, eight are from New Zealand batsman and the other belongs to Joe Root. Devon Conway is 164 not out in his first test innings so he doesn't have a test average yet.

[Godder]

CDG has the highest SR of current test players and has had since his debut. The English commentary I'm listening to really rates the NZ batting line up including Southee's ability to score quickly.

I am hoping if we're still batting last session of today there could be some big hitting fireworks

Bugger

[No Quarter]

We are going to want at least 400 here, still a lot of work to do

[canefan]

Wagner should be at 10 instead of Southee

[sparky]

England have dragged themselves back in this game. Not enough support for Conway from the more experienced NZ batsmen.

[Siam]

Big Col only ever looks good going fast. Not sure if it's the pitch or ball to suit that style of batting... All the best bighouse

[booboo]

Fuck off Watling, retire already ...

P.S. I don't really mean that...

[Donsteppa]

I was puzzled by the rush to get the injured mullet back into the side. CDG better perform with the ball, given Matt Henry or last test centurion Daryl Mitchell were other options.

And Kyle Jamieson is well and truly filling that bowling all rounder slot these days.

[canefan]

Someone has to stay with Conway

Stead out!

Santner is a playing foodbill in tests.

[MajorRage]

4 wickets for 6 runs .... right, best do some work / go for a run!
