England cricket

[ASCPFC]

I had been meaning to start a thread for a while due to the usual implosion of the England cricket team: all of their own making.
Personally, I'm happy enough for them to celebrate winning a series. But win one match against NZ and then get pissed up. Against your own rules, due to the debacle that came before?
For me, that's not good enough at all. If I acted like that, I'd be sacked and I'd expect the sack.
Yes, I am calling for the sack for Stokes and also want McCallum and Key to go. They should have already gone.
England may win the match this week, they may not. But stupid decisions are continuing and it's not really good enough at all.
It's certainly just not cricket.

Bashir is 0 for 100+. That's hardly a surprise either.

Rather like the Prime Ministerial roundabout!

Now 153-1. This game won't be over in under 3 days anyway. Bet that's the kiss of death.

You never know how the pitch is playing until both sides complete their innings. 173 for 1

After nearly two days I think you do.

Well when will it take spin then?

The Kiwis still 220 ahead the weather changeable tomorrow so not as confident as the TMS commentators seem to be.

As for spin they will have Santner and England have to bat last.

There may be a bazball onslaught from us tomorrow which could go either way..........
