Come Adelaide there will be 3 test matches on the go!

 

[NYRB]

NZ have the 2nd worse catching rate of the test playing nations in 2024. Suprising given they are one of the better fielding sides I thought in the world.

From Cricbuzz at Stumps on Day 2 :

New Zealand catching in Tests in 2024
Catches taken: 109
Dropped: 35
Their catch success rate of 75.7% is the second-lowest in Tests this year, only ahead of West Indies’ 73.07%

And our catching has actually probably gotten BETTER - but we were f**king abysmal against Bangladesh.

Shamar Joseph had 4 catches dropped in the space of about 6 overs the other morning

Geez the Kiwi's are crap at catching....Brooks getting 4 lives....talk about gifting the guy a 100....pretty sure Labs started his career like that, and now it's all 'catching' up with him.

Our fielding standards have dropped in recent years and all those drops today could cost us this test with England looking likely to get a first innings lead now and it could be a big lead if Brook and Stokes tee off tomorrow.

Brook was dropped four times?

Don't even think Marnus was dropped that many times in one knock

They weren’t difficult either, especially when compared to the quite literal ‘best gully catch of all time’ contender Phillips took.

Hayden remembers that one wrong - in a wisden piece I’m embarrassed to share he reckons he played it against “a good attack as well – Ambrose, Walsh, Bishop”, when Ambrose was a late withdrawal and WI replaced him and one of the Benjamins with Cameron Cuffy and the laughable PIC-line Thompson.

It took something truly amazing from Carl Hooper to get him out then.

He’s a f**king d**khead. He got dropped about 6 times and was dismissed off a no ball

 

[RookiePick]

Kiwis have made an absolute meal of things after having England 4/71.

Now at parity with 5 poles in the shed. Remarkable.

 

[Plugger35]

Phillips dropping another catch off Brook, that's 5 drops off him now, unbelievable.

 

[Plugger35]

The new ball has helped Brook and Stokes more than our bowlers so far.

 

[PhatBoy]

Dear oh dear.

I think England have just decided it’s go-time if the kiwis aren’t gonna catch anything.

 

[Plugger35]

Finally we take a catch off Brook.

NZ need to wrap thiz up quick smart

Stokes is dangerous in this situation and England have some tailenders that are handy with the bat so we can't let them kick on.

 

[Plugger35]

Brook may as well still be out there with how well Atkinson is batting.

Always found this interesting. In 2075 Tests over 136 years, there was only one innings of 171 in a Test match. In the 488 since there have been seven.
