England in New Zealand: 5 game ODI series - ENGLAND WIN SERIES 3-2

[AlwaysGreen]

This should be a great series. Hopefully.

Stokes is back which should revitalize an England team that has been on tour down under for about 5 years.

New Zealand under Buzz Mcyllum invented this form of the game and will be better equipped to deal with a pretty powerful pom side in home conditions.

Let the sabermetrics begin: game 1 today 25/2/18 @ Hamilton.

England dispatched the minnows earlier this summer, now boosted by Kiwi Ben but up against a good ODI side, who they've modelled their game on, should be a very good series

2 irrelavant sides playing an irrelevant form of the game in an irrelavant country.

pretty rare for someone to use the same word three times in a sentence... even more rare to use it three times and only spell it correctly once

My autocorrect is about as effective as New Zealand’s bowling attack.

How about a capital letter at the start of a sentence, or a full stop at the end of one?

Kane wins the toss and NZ will bowl first.

Are you guys happy to keep all the 5 ODI in this thread or do you want separate game threads?

You're the man PB, merge away.

Just started a thread because I didn't use my eyes to see yours.

England 1/13 in the 6th

84/1 after 18

Root in good touch

This series could come down to a battle of the #8's - Woakes the great vs Santner the pretender

Santner cleans up Roy 89/2

Santner laying down the gauntlet for Woakes, gets Kiwi Ben the mummy's boy

Stokes made it off the ground without coward punching a member of the public, so we should probably consider his return a success.

All good mate, keep this one, ive deleted the other one


4/141 - 30 overs

Root a class act

 

[JJ]

Yeah Root has looked a cut above today, very classy

Doull being snarky about Jurgenson

I'm no fan but he just parroted off meaningless truisms like Doull and friends do session after session

Buttler brutalising Sodhi

Love watching Buttler bat.

Except against us.

Sodhi is pretty rubbish most the time IMO
