1st TEST :: New Zealand v England

[Aidan11]

They are going to be available first 7 games

Don't they clash with the IPL?

Carse is playing in that.

 

[TheRey]

8 down, no 10 at the crease and no slips?
This is why we can't finish sides off. Ridiculous

 

[Aidan11]

Southee doing his usual trick of going down swinging the bat.

 

[mackembhoy]

See we are doing bouncer thing again

Turned on late today, good to see Carse just said fuck this and bowler at the stumps

A superbly deserved fifer been my MOTM. Hope he can get the 10fer just needs one more.

Seems idiotic to be bowling short stuff to Southee mind

(cue him spooning one to deep square)

Doing it for the vibes

I mean Southee career batting highlight reel usually ends with him being caught in the deep.

Guy definitely should have done more with the bat in career but just likes slogging too much.

Only Warne and Dickwella with more test runs without a century.

 

[Aidan11]

Good catch Joe.

 

[anth]

about time

 

[TheRey]

Well caught

It was always going to happen

 

[mackembhoy]

Smart from Carse react to slowly to a catch, so he's still got the chance for the 10fer.

 

[Aidan11]

This is dragging on.

I thought this would be over by lunch.

 

[smoker]

f***ing Mitchell averages 72 against us

 

[scotch]

England v a tailender with an average of 2

 

[TheRey]

They're effectively 88-9, and the field is SO defensive.

I thought Bazball was all about "positive, attacking cricket"?

 

[Aidan11]

Get Carse back on.

 

[TheRey]

Get Carse back on.

And more pertinently, bowl at the f***ing stumps.

 

[Safc98]

England. Dismiss great players bowling full. Tail come in, default to bouncers and negative fields.

 

[Aidan11]

New ball due in 7 overs. Hopefully that will wrap this up.
