2nd Test: NZ v England at Hagley Oval, Christchurch, March 30-April 3rd, 2018

[Iafeta]

Excellent rearguard here. I am astonished that CdG by in large is engaging the brain well.

 

[_snafu_]

de Grand Levers would be disappointed.

 

[Iafeta]

Good innings. However now Southee needs to pull the reigns in, similar to Slugger Leach from England.

 

[Meth]

Southee battting in the crucial #8 spot. Hard to take NZ seriously

Do we want to win?

To be fair they had Broad, I reckon we're both playing for the draw

 

[Meth]

Broad is a marginally better batsmen than Southee

 

[JJ]

Broad is a marginally better batsmen than Southee

He used to be a lot better, now they are both jokes but at least Broad has an obvious reason

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Simon Fool: 'Southee has worked out a defence mechanism. A defence mechanism.'

The female commentator: 'He's developed into a genuine allrounder'.

Yeah. Nah.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Wagner clonked on the head, a lot of that this test, nasty but exhilarating to watch.

 

[JJ]

Boult is just brilliant to watch bat LOL

 

[Iafeta]

Stuart Broad, he’s big he’s bad he’s better than his dad, Stuart Broad Stuart Broad

 

[JJ]

Boult can assume 4 stances and play two shots to each delivery- he has more time than David Gower

 

[Iafeta]

Good effort from the lower order after the disgraceful abomination of the top order

 

[Iafeta]

So poor. Alistair Cook, times up son.

 

[hineyrulz]

Cook is done, he totally needs a pink slip.

 

[JJ]

Vince is the antithesis of Handscomb, stylistically but you kind of expect the same result

I reckon Cook has more left just needs a break

 

[hineyrulz]

Stoneman having some luck.


De Levers not a happy huge man.

 

[hineyrulz]

Desperate review, they don’t go for that if they take that catch.

 

[JJ]

Need some sandpaper

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Cook will find a road in England which will prop up his career for a year or two more.
