1st Test: New Zealand v England @ Christchurch Nov 28 - Dec 2, 2024

Marnus Brook
Dropped again, at slip
on 41

Poms 4/126

That’s 3 chances for Brook, arsier than Marnus

 

[AlwaysGreen]

You don't drop Brook. The lad has talent and can score big and fast.

 

[TheParraboy]

4/174
tea day 2

 

[Bazal]

He got some luck but Brook is a gun. England's Trav Head

 

[Bazal]

Haha they've dropped him again.

Horrific fielding

 

[TheParraboy]

what a catch

Pope gone for 77, one handed super man catch by Phillips

poms 5/222

 

[simmo1]

Marnus's luck has gone to Brook.

 

[JJ]

Terrible day of fielding tbh, very poor

 

[Bazal]

What does Tom Latham offer? Genuinely. That's another shocking drop tbh

He used to be a catching all-rounder. Seems he has lost that with the captaincy to focus on.

I think like your team, we have a few established players that some serious questions need to be asked about…. All of Latham, Conway, Mitchell and Blundell should be under some pressure tbh, Young deserves a spot imo

 

[JJ]

Brook is really good, but obviously he shouldn’t have scored many today….

Probably fair. But I like Mitchell. He still averages 45, and he's got a bit of that Travis Head/Harry Brook about him in that he's a positive player.

Yep, I like him too…. Blundell imo is on borrowed time, there are reasons to persevere with the others, given Latham has been named captain

 

[Rod]

We used to be close to if not the best fielding side in the world a few years ago.

Concerning how downhill it's gone.

What's wrong Rod?

What's wrong Rod?

Not sure what you mean. I'm referring to the 6 catches we dropped today.

Worried they were easy too, and then Phillips takes a screamer! Sloppiness evident in batting too tbh

Bowlers did well, and I love what Phillips brings in every aspect of the game

I didn't see that.

That's a lot of dropped catches Rod.

Give any decent bat 3 chances (or was it 4), let alone a dude in his prime , your gonna get hurt badly and it turns the game rapidly
