Black Caps v England
-
@No-Quarter Because we're one-down in the series, I think we've got to give them sniff and enough carrot to keep chasing.
I'm thinking 350 off 70 overs - which would be the same rate they scored at in the first innings.
If the pitch is a road they'll probably make them.
-
Is that really conclusive enough to overturn the decision?

Another ton to add to his impressive record. 26 tons overall now. Has also made 33 test fifties. Imagine if he had coverted just a dozen of those into 100s
Really Harsh.
He’s no Stephen Fleming…….
That’s a pretty bloody decent conversion rate if you ask me. Up there with the very best. For comparison Tendulkar was 51/68, Ponting 41/62, Kallis 45/58, Dravid 36/63, Sangakkara 38/52, Lara 34/48……
20+ centuries
Kane 44%Over 50%
Azharuddin
Bradman
Clarke
Hayden
Younis KhanKohli 49%
Sobers 46%
Steve Smith 44.78%So, up there, but not with the very best.
Good compared to some of the batsmen rated best ever thoughMarty Crowe had a better conversion rate but not over 20 centuries.
Yeah not an exact yardstick.
Flemings conversion rate was notably appalling but he still got quite a number of crucial 60/70/80 odd scores in his time.
With one obvious and massive exception KW is as good or better than anyone on that 50% list though.
Back to the action and he’s gone but he’s done his job and got us in there. Still a massive onus on Blundell and whoever can support him to get the last day total as tricky as possible for England to chase.

That is an absolute shocker Bracewell. One of the worst I’ve seen, just give your wicket away.

What happened to Bracewell ?
From your descriptions it sounds like it’s giving his detractors ( of which I am one ) some ammo
ran over teh crease for an easy single, didn't ground his bat or his foot and got run out. Insane.

So had a chance to prove us all wrong and fucked it ?
Jeepers I hope Wags can support Blundell for a well deserved ton at the very least ( preferably more )

Well no, in classic New Zealand tradition he’s sort of ok enough at both to supposedly warrant selection. These types can sometimes have their place in the shorter forms but there’s no room for them in the test team.

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
