Black Caps v England

[nzzp]

Great bowling Southee. Snaffled in the slips, Crawley gone fo 4.

18/1 in the third over.

Man, I wish I was there

[Crucial]

Piss off Crawley and your Bazball nonsense. Back to the sheds.

[Cyclops]

Too many too balls from Wags. Hopefully just a rhythm issue in his first test for a while and it'll be sorted shortly.

He must be enjoying bowling with the new ball for a change.

he was a pretty boy fast bowler for Otago before switching to first change and dominating. Frustrating NB for the first delivery ... little things really count in Tests.

Southee a key here for us, and he's starting to bowl on the pads too much

[KiwiMurph]

We are already in trouble.

Imagine - could have had Boult with Southee, and Wags at first change.

Stead you muppet.

[nzzp]

this BazBall shit seems to be effective in a lot of conditions. Respect.

Also, FAAAAAARRRRRRKKKKK

[Chris B.]

Duckett takes 17 off Tickner's third over.

Larsen and Stead staring at their coffee....

[Chris B.]

Tickner retires to fine leg or wherever seamers get sent to think things over - Kuggelijn into the attack.

They've won 9 of their last 10 tests.

We've won 2 of our last 11 tests.

This is hardly surprising.

not surprised. Just disappointed.

[Bovidae]

We all knew that Tickner wasn't up to international standard. What speed was he bowling at?

[KiwiMurph]

@Bovidae mid-130s mostly.

He just bowled one 144k that got cut for 4.

That's an absolutely incredible turnaround under Baz. Must be one of the biggest impacts a coach has ever had on an international test side. They were beyond shit before he took over. Gotta give Baz a lot of credit for what he's achieved there.

[Donsteppa]

That was as bad an opening two overs as we could have possibly got from Wags. After that no-ball wicket, his line was all over the place, and also meant an early intro to two Test debutants. He gets another chance now.

Now we are the ones who are beyond shit.

Tickner gets the breakthrough and stops Duckett getting a century in the first session.

thank christ for that.

1/37 aren't terrible figures against the top order

[nzzp]

our fielding has been terrible today. Three or four misses I've seen

Pretty much as good as Tim.

Wags and Kuggeleijn both worse.
