[Cricket] Cricket- New Zealand v England Test Series- November 27-December 13 2024

[Gwylan]

I switched on to watch some cricket before breakfast to be confronted by an instruction to enter my parental pin "because this programme started after 21.00". I've watched cricket early morning many times and have never seen that before. Is England's performance really that much of a horror show?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Crawley COULD be a game changer in Australia though eh? Not sure who is putting their hand up on the county circuit to take his place.

I'd love to hear the justification for the Santner caught and bowled being given OUT, and the Brook catch at slip, being considered NOT OUT.

If it mattered at all to the result, England should be fuming at the inconsistency there.

 

[Eeyore]

Just taken a look. England need a further 170 runs here to avoid being in the top five worst run defeats in Test history

Anyone on the sofa to have the last lick of this year's cricketing lollipop ?

I've just flicked over from the darts for a bit. Bethell isn't hanging around.

Going to watch for a bit. We’ll be 397-3 when I wake up. Game on.


*all out 417

Neither's Root, now. They've obviously decided to have a go and see what happens. Should be entertaining.

Roooot 50*

'That's got him right in his future generations'

I really must use that one.

 

[Titanic]

Oh dear.... plumb.

 

[Eeyore]

I reckon if we can have a 400 stand here we might be okay.

 

[Si Gull]

Oh well. Presumably Stokes would only bat if, by some miracle, England were in with a chance of getting the required total.

I think they said that he was fit and okay to do so. Not that it will make much difference. Might as well not.

I'm actually off to bed now. I look forward to waking up to a 300 unbroken stand.

 

[Si Gull]

NZ win by a mere 424 runs, a record for them.
