New Zealand v England 28 Nov- 18 Dec 2024 (3 Tests)

[yabsy]

Foakes being 3rd in line is a big drop. No other team goes through keepers like England. Also wonder if Bairstow will ever get another game

He must now be 4th in line after;

Jamie Smith
Jordan Cox
Ollie Robinson

[Grumpyshades]

NZ doing their best to give England wickets

 

[Bedi]

Shocked Williamson got out. Till then it was a chanceless masterful innings

 

[Plugger35]

Williamson gone just short of a hundred, we are blowing a good first innings total unless our lower order can pile on some runs.

 

[NYRB]

Glenn Phillips dropped on 0 from Stokes.

 

[Bedi]

Australia had two Wayne Phillips’ within the same 7-8 years

Edit: just checked, it was within 6.

The second of them I remember came in for one test against India - famous for the century Tendulkar made at 18 years of age in Perth in 1992

Yes that's right, i knew there was one. Had Mick vs Mark Taylor stuck in my head

Australia had Dennis Lillee (Legend) & Dennis Lillie (the leggie from QLD) playing at the same time back in the day.

From Wiki:
‘The two similarly, but not exactly, named players never appeared together in the starting lineups of the same game, however Lillie was twelfth man in a Queensland v Western AustraliaSheffield Shield game during the 1980–81 season, and in fact caught Lillee in the first innings of that game. The following line appears from that scorecard: DK Lillee c sub (DJ Lillie) b GS Chappell 11’

Can Nathan Smith bat?

They had a graphic that he averaged 69 or so against England from 7 matches - was quite surprised to see that.

He's a handy lower order batsman, we need some runs from him now along with Phillips to get a score over 300.

Yeah, it was literally straight after the last series against England that his slump started...Was in a rich vein of form before that

I vaguely remember him batting in the NZ Super Smash last season If I stand to be corrected.

One of my earlier vague memories of summer test cricket in Australia is his non-descript appearance including a punched straight drive down the ground

I was a young cadet and we sat in his office upon his return and relived every ball - bottom line he couldn’t believe the difference in terms of how far the Test bowlers swung it…i think it was Srinath

He got the ultimate shit sandwich - they dropped Geoff Marsh in Perth

Yeah Srinath, Dev and Prabakhar were India’s pace attack for that series

 

[Stig O'Hara]

DRS saves Phillips from a near howler.

 

[ioppolo]

Paternity leave

Harsh on Young but realistically there’s no one else they are going to leave out aside from Philips but they like his bowling

I can't recall Conway making many scores of recent tbh. Either that or in your typical bigfooty poster potshotting some unknown international.

Who would have guessed that Julius Caesar was a decent bowler. As for his batting I am assuming a brutus delivery got him

 

[Plugger35]

Phillips giving a Bashir long hop what it deserves with a six over midwicket.

We have made Bashir look Murali today despite him bowling mostly rubbish.

 

[Plugger35]

England wasting another review and they missed the one edge they should have reviewed lol.

A good counter attack from Phillips, hopefully it continues.

It's wonderful to see a 3 test series in New Zealand for the first time in nearly 8 years.

 

[katana]

bashir has reminded me of nathan lyon a bit today

Conway made 76 and 91 in two of the India wins and 61 in the test before that.
