Shaheen 3/55

NZ's day

NZ's day

Yep, Pakistan were good though

wasn’t as green as we’ve seen, but Williamson and Taylor were brilliant

 

[Meth]

The beginnings of another decent knock from Nicholls too. Maybe a bit of pressure starting to develop on Blundell

Nobody other than Larsen thinks Blundell is a big test opener

Fine keeper/bat though

was a get out of Jeet Raval card that has been played too many times now

266/3
Williamson 121
Nicholls 56

 

[JJ]

Nicholls gone first ball after drinks

really should do a S Waugh and drop the hook/pull

didn’t hit it, didn’t review it... weird

 

[JJ]

301/5 at lunch

Yasir got Williamson, good test this

 

[Meth]

Williamson out too.

NZ scoring slowly, which is fine, so long as they score 400+ and can take some wickets.

 

[JJ]

Increased the scoring rate today, but it’s a grind they have bowled well

Nicholls’ dismissal was bizarre, wasn’t close to hitting it and didn’t review... weird

 

[JJ]

Groan... 318/6 Santner out to a terrible waft

Santner as a red ball cricketer

bowling - shit
Batting - rubbish
Catching - appalling
demeanour- calm

we have a good side, but for the life of me I don’t understand Blundell as a test opener, and Santner as a test cricketer

 

[Meth]

Maybe its a symptom of having a good team, that some of the more mediocre can survive in the side. Santner is obviously pretty popular among the group.

Watling 44

Just not a test player imo... excellent with the white ball

 

[JJ]

50 for Watling and KJ showing yet again that #8 is key

Boult batting... fantastic!!!

 

[JohnDoe]

Trent Boult has been pretty poor so far this summer. Commentators have said he has been unluckly, but just don't think he has been as near threatening as previously, not getting that swing into the right hander as much as he would previously.

 

[JJ]

He hasn’t been at his best, but as a unit they’ve been good

 

[JJ]

Jamieson gets Shan with a rubbish ball down the legside

Abbas in as night watchman. 28/1
