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

[Plugger35]

Finally a catch and it's a blinder from Phillips.

 

[Bedi]

What a catch. WHAT A CATCH! as Ritchie would've called it

 

[PhatBoy]

That’s as good a catch as I’ve seen

Finally a catch and it's a blinder from Phillips.

Another example of why cricket is a funny game

 

[Marshland]

So what happened to Bazball?

 

[Rabish Binney]

Just checked into the scores...why did Pope keep for the Poms and not the recently picked keeper (cant remember his name).

He seemed to be all right. Is he injured?

Jamie Smith is on paternity leave and their replacement keeper Jordan Cox got injured so Pope has had to fill in as keeper.

[Stig O'Hara]

Brook rolls off another ton.

 

[Bedi]

Always on the cards after the dropped catches but a top innings by a genuine star of the game

 

[Plugger35]

Those 3 drops off Brook are looking costly now, they could be even more costly if he turns this ton into a double ton.

NZ will be stewing because all 3 of those catches were regulation

Goddamn this ground playing "Go your own way" on the loud speaker.

I can't listen to anything off Rumours without having to go listen to the whole album.

I feel like Brook should just be teeing off, he's batting out his ass today.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Can't afford 4 drops against Bazball. Will prove costly eventually

 

[PhatBoy]

All that’s left to happen now is a brook wicket off a no ball.

 

[Plugger35]

Looks like all the luck Labuschagne used to have has gone to Brook, it isn't just the 4 drops, it's all the plays and misses as well.

 

[Bedi]

NZ will be wanting Stokes gone before stumps too

 

[PhatBoy]

Could be the smartest individual decision of stokes career to bat 7 if he makes runs here. The form he’s been in, coming in at 4-70 could have been a disaster for him: instead he comes out at 5-220 and poised to actually make a contribution with not nearly as much pressure

 

[Bedi]

Saved the boundary but was that another dropped catch there?

 

[010203]

Now Smith bowls Root, huge wicket.

Root joined Ricky Ponting and Steve Waugh in getting a duck in hid 150th test.

 

[Plugger35]

Latham dropping Stokes, we could have had England all out by now.

 

[Marshland]

Need a wicket sooner rather than later.

Be interesting if he stays there, if a specialist keeper comes in for the next test

Surely Bethel is the one to make way and he goes back up to 6. I was speaking more from a form point of view than a permanent position view. He needs a score and this is the perfect opportunity

 

[Bedi]

Another very day's good cricket. Unless it's a draw, whoever wins this will thoroughly deserve it.
