I might just watch this series. Haven't been into cricket for some time (there was just way too much of it for me) but this series could be a good follow.
7-3.
The Curse of the Meldrew's strikes again

The Black Caps batting coach(es) and psychologists don't seem to do much these days - except possibly watching from the stands with a few beers.
Similar to the home summer, in the two warm-up games the Black Caps top order fronted in one game, and then spent the other game metaphorically in the pub. Kane spent much of the IPL batting like it was a test match series, but unfortunately his form didn't carry through.
At one stage we were 9/5, and then 19/6 against a county team. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/new-zealand-in-england-2022-1276891/first-class-counties-xi-vs-new-zealanders-tour-match-1311520/full-scorecard
Blundell with match scores of 8 & 0.
... Doesn't matter whether Wags plays or not when the top order bat with little intelligence and even less fortitude...

Ouch. 12-4.
Oh - fuck off.
I was considering signing up for a Spark Sport 7-day free trial tomorrow, to give the grandfather some cricket to watch "on-demand" tomorrow.
Fucked if I'm going to show him this... it'd be guaranteed heart attack; worse than turning up covid-ridden.
Edit: and, in case I'm to blame, off to bed with me. Fucking 12/4 bullshit. -

I'm glad we stuck with Stead.....
At this rate NZC might give us Bob Carter with all his learnings from coaching the White Ferns...

How much were those tickets again!
Hope there is some spice left when we get a bowl.

Atrocious fucking batting - all 4 batsmen have gone out playing with hard hands at the ball & playing away from their bodies... amazed we chose to bat when their wickets are well known for seaming around a lot, we probably chose to bat first to give Boult more time to recover, well that really bit us in the arse big time.
