O'Rourke strikes again to get rid of Stokes, if we can't get rid of Brook the next best thing is to get rid of his partners.

Which he got from this article which only covers up to Jan 2022.
Labuschagne - lucky, and making the most of it
Who cashes in on fielders' gifts the most, who doesn't - this is what the numbers say

Thanks I hadn’t noticed.
This doesn’t explain the colossal amount of runs he’s made in other innings, or the 60 runs he’s making every time he walks out to bat, at a strike rate better than quite literally any batsman to play the game in the last 100 years that’s played 30+ innings.

He will revert closer to the mean and will end up averaging around 50.
Mike Hussey averaged close to 80 for a stretch early doors.
Ended up at 51.5.

I don’t doubt that it will come down a little and as we speak his average takes a hit due to a terrible piece of running.
But his natural ability gives him a predisposed advantage to ending up with a plummeting record to Marnus levels

Smith strikes just before tea with a run out, that was dozey from Brook and a gift when we were struggling to bowl him out.

Woakes and Stokes can take a bit of the blame for that.
He was absolutely sizzling up until Pope got out, he only faced about 22 of the next 78 or so balls.
Nothing wrong with coming out and batting calmly but you’ve got to be conscious of the absolute zone the other guy is in

He lost his momentum with not getting the strike but some credit has to go to our bowlers who fought back well in that session.
If we can keep England to 300 or under and not let their tail wag again with Atkinson and Carse it would justify us bowling first.

Smith gets Atkinson for just 4, that helps.
Seddon Park is a great place to watch cricket - much better for Cricket than Eden Park

Phillips dropping Carse but it doesn't matter too much as O'Rourke gets Woakes the next ball with a great review for a thin edge.
how Auckland missed out on this tour is staggering

Seems like they hardly play test cricket at Eden Park anymore & stick to all the traditional grounds, as they should

A great catch from O'Rourke and Smith gets a 4'fer, good work from our newbie bowlers to wrap that England total up for 280.
Choosing to bowl first looking justified now but that all depends on how we go with the bat, we need to score at least 300 here.

Eden Park is terrible for tests, it is OK for ODIs and T20s but Hagley Oval, the Basin Reserve and Seddon Park are better for tests.

They did do well, and ultimately ended up keeping England to a moderate total.
Still over par from 4-40 though. And something that gets overlooked with England’s approach is that in a situation like this, a score of 280 would normally take enough time that a lot of the sting would go out of the pitch. In this case it’s barely over 55 overs but of so still plenty in it. Kiwis on top but have work to do

England have Brook and Root as their genuine gun batsman, the others are nothing special who benefit from being told to play shots to hide deficiencies in their techniques, Crawley and Duckett as examples. Bethell is the same, looks good when he lets loose but good bowling will find him out. Let's hope the Kiwis put them under pressure while batting now.
why is that? Am sure Bellerive Oval is more scenic than the Gabba, but as a small city there's a reason it's rare to have a test there. Auckland is NZ's biggest city, so i would've thought it'd make more sense to play there.
