The Silver Fern

Chapman and extras saving us from being bowled out for 26!

Young, Ravindra, Mitchell, Latham, Phillips and Santner collectively contributing 5 runs off the bat.

We could have picked 6 random ferners and not done much worse! Anyone specialise on the nick for 4?!!

I was always good at a left handed cross bat slog with non existent foot movement. It got me many a six ( against shit bowling ideally )

Are you Jesse Ryder?

Mitchell, Latham and Bracewell can hang their heads in shame, poor poor shot selection when you’re already under the pump.

66/6 we are fucked.
66/3 not great either, but not terminal.

Coldplay, was a bloody good bowler. He basically carried the BC attack for a few years before the emergence of Southee and Boult.

BC’s right on top, SL imploding with 3 wickets in 5 balls to be 22/4

Disappointing finish after the start Ravindra and Chapman gave us.

Caleb Clarke.

Because.

Great partnership from Mitchell & Bracewell, we were well fucked when those two came together.

Didn’t see the SL innings, but by the sounds of it, it was a choke for the ages.

@MN5 you’re welcome

That dropped catch is going to cost a lot of runs.

Root will score a big 100 now, heard it here first.

Root LBW to Santner.

Thank me later.

On a positive note. While it is Southee's last test, it is also almost definitely Stead's last test.

Did I miss something, I thought he was locked in for a few more years?

He's got 6 months to go. No tests in that time.

Who’s next?

Fleming? Vettori?

Will be the closest Whangarei ever gets to hosting an All Blacks test match.

Can’t wait.

Lani Daniels, world champion boxer.

@Canes4life terrible.

Brain farts like that not needed

@mariner4life said in Black Caps vs England Series:

Did we "first test at the 'gabba" them and trick them in to bowling first?

Quite possibly, they’ve got a few to seam around but on the whole there hasn’t been any demons in the pitch.

Should be great to bat on this arvo.

@nzzp aged well didn’t it.

Were fucked now, will be all out for 150 before tea.

Good first hour.

Not ideal losing Conway early, but that happens.

Don’t think England have bowled very well, a bit all over the place really.

Apart from Conways wicket, I can only remember one other over where out batters look troubled, that was when Kane nicked a couple short of the slip cordon.

Latham has cruised along really, just waiting for the bad balls and putting them to the boundary when they come.

Big opportunity to kick on here.

Fuck Conway out to a nothing caught and bowled.

That hurts because England’s first couple of overs were not very threatening

If all I hear from Razor and Scott Barrett after the game about how tough a team Italy are, and how well they did I’ll be pissed off.

I want them to put their hands up and be honest… “yep, we were rubbish”
