Black Caps vs England Series

@sparky that's great to hear, his injury problems have been horrible so great to see him back, he's a joy to watch when on form (well he will be a joy to watch against Aus, not so much against us)
-
we can't play 50 over cricket anymore, I think its largely to do with the fact we have no one day cricket in the county season except a second XI competition and we play a shed load of 20:20 style cricket. Hence the slogging and not batting the overs, seems to have become a staple approach. Under Morgan in the lead up to 2019, we definitely went hard for big totals but if it didn't work had enough experience in the team to knuckle down and get to 250, these days we just keep slogging aiming for 400 and running out of wickets.

Foulkes again brilliant, already picked up 2 including Root.

England batsmen playing like idiots again... we are bowling very well but sheesh just see off the new ball
-
Our best bowler isn’t even playing and their top order sucked again.

Trying to smear everything when the ball is moving around.
After 15-20 overs th emovement is gone. We would have struggled to get to 250 the other day - some more runs and hte pressure builds quickly
-
A lot of dismissals where the English batsmen has left a yawning gap between bat and pad. Some issues with technique there.... starting to think Aus are unbackable favorites in the Ashes, Hazlewood will be licking his lips...
-
some interesting stats mentioned before, worst ever top 4 performance in an ODI series ever (min 3 games) ..not just England..ever. Bangladesh previously held the record for touring teams, but it is now Englands

Nathan Smith
Test match batting average: 25
ODI batting average: 6He didn't look like keeping a good one out today.
Tail threatening to wag against Rashid though.
