Broad , Ian ward talking about Rachin's drop.  Why did he jump to  take a catch tha came at his waist level.  He lost balance. Ball popped out.

Ollie Robinson is back,why was he dropped in first place.

Fitness issues, back related I think. In 2024 series in India, in one test he was bowling at 70 mph.

Disciplinary action as well.  His GF was traveling with the side and were doing vlogging.

ECB came hard on him and they had to remove the vlogs as well.

Also some racism controversy before that IIRC. These things add up.

Amelia Kerr's boyfriend is lethal on wickets like these, got a 6fer against Ireland as well.

They have a legion of these kind of bowlers.

Let's see how Nabi shapes up.

 

His style of bowling might lend itself well on NZ pitches. Apparently he can bat a bit as well which is always handy in low scoring pitches.

 

This might be the NZ lineup:

 

Jaiswal

Rahul

Sai/Devdutt/Jurel etc

Gill

Pant

Jadeja

Sundar

NKR

Nabi

Bumrah

Siraj

[cowboysfan]

Conway sucks ,why do kiwis persist with him?

[Nikhil_cric]

NZ flopping with the bat.  They will get slaughtered in Australia. 

[cowboysfan]

so no team in Test cricket can handle these conditions except maybe Saffers who will somehow score 200 on this.

[putrevus]

three wickets in one over.

[Lone Wolf]

Dream comeback from Robinson.  Harry Brook's inns will be the difference again

RSA team is built for tough conditions, tough runs. People here may underestimate Bavuma all they want, but that dude gets crucial 30s and 40s on the most treacherous tracks, he is the best in the world at what he does. His 55 in Kolkata 2nd innings was the foundation of their 2-0, best test knock by a visiting batter on rank turners since Smith in Pune 2017 IMO. 

[Gollum]

How surprising Kane failed.

 

I am 100% sure we were winning the 2024 series had KW played even 2 tests. His replacement Young was the biggest difference between both sides and rightfully got MOTS.

Hahaha..5 for 3

Only Ind make NZ look good

Treacherous conditions today at Lord's. Someone has to play a Brook innings
