Commentary is awesome, compared to the absolute drivel and vitriol on the Australian channels for the oz v India tests, my goodness me they are all so insufferable. Mathew Hayden is absolutely off his rocker, all the aussie commentators are so biased and pro ozi, they never shut up about all things Australian..hope India smash them I really do.
he's batting better down the order for sure, maybe they should move Crawley down to number 9 ffs he has been bad lately..when is he going to grow into that giant string bean of a body and mind.. he always looks like a shy 14 yr old boy. he needs to do some boxing or gym work and get angry, focused.
@@fiddlestickzmuzik I think the only safe option is to have Crawley batting at 12. Unfortunately, I don't see a long list of capable alternatives waiting for their chance to open the batting for England.
@@Magnumaniacduckett and bethall batted well together. Stranger things have happened! Then Smith at 3 and leave duckett. The only way Crawley gets down to 12 is with the existing group by look of it.
@@stephengodsmark4353 Something has to happen. Crawley has batted like a tail ender in this match - both innings he has come in and swung the bat in the hope he gets a few runs before inevitably getting out early. If we win this match, and therefore the series, it has to be worth trying something else for the 3rd test. Bethell opening - why not, he has effectively been an opener so far. I quite like the idea of trying Smith at 3 too - Pope seems to be more comfortable at 6.
I thought it is the call for the person running to the danger end - Woakes would have been running to the danger end. But yeah maybe he should of sacrificed himself or screamed "NO!!!!!!" instead of saying "wait, wait, wait".
@@karamjitdedyal752 It is not "the call for the person running to the danger end" - which of them is supposed to decide which end that is? Far too much room for confusion. The rule has always been that it's the batter's call if it goes in front of him (since that's the direction in which the batter's looking) and the non-striker's call if it goes behind the batter (since that's the direction in which the non-striker's looking). So it went in front of Brook. He called it. Woakes should have Woakesed up and run. Even if Woakes thought it was a silly call and there was never a run, Brook is the senior batsman and his wicket ought to be preserved. So Woakes effed up twice. Brook should have carried on running and made Woakes give up his wicket.
So lovely to see England playing so well; NZ are not bad either, they just need that extra effort, ala Smith with the Brook run out more often & the O'Rourke catch is how they should be catching. Carse, Pope & Brook have been fantastic; it is superb to see Stokes bowl: Sometimes people forget he is the modern Botham. Henry has been superb and while NZ will not make the WTC final this year they have so much to build on.
Look at that perfect off-cutter from Atkinson to dismiss Conway. Just the right line and length to induce the drive, and just enough movement to take the edge. You can't get any better than that.
Latham, Conway, Blundell, Southee have been awful for so long.. they wouldn't make any other test team...if we lose this test...how about blooding a couple of new players, instead of doing the same stuff, expecting different results
Especially since we have alternatives that we could be playing but we just arent, loyalty is great and all but not when we are collapsing game after game
Does anybody know the name of the song/music they use on tvnz on demand like in the intros and wicket hightlights ect? its a catchy tune not so much a song cannot find it anywere :D
And NZ are currently one of if not the top rated test side, and England are destroying them in their own back yard. What a replacement for Root England have found in Brook when Root eventually exits.
So annoying when the licensed broadcaster posts only 6 mins highlights of a game that lasts 8 hours. You get longer highlights for football. We saw 3 shots Brook played scoring a century, and almost as many from Williamson who scored 37. What a waste of time.
@faramir yeah but Australia didn't win the last ashes series. They got very lucky to escape with a drawn series after being outplayed in 4 of the tests and being saved by 2 days or rain at old trafford when on the brink of defeat. So I'd call that a series dominated by England as well.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 Yes, well that is a shock given the bias to home teams in recent years as there are fewer warm up games. But Oz broke the sequence in the 2nd test v India.
Gotta say I'm quite annoyed how Brook seems to get to 100 and then loses interest giving his wicket away cheaply and not seeming to care, same in the first test he went after that 150 just wafting needlessly..today that was pathetic how he got out.
That was woakes being a div and not taking one for the team. It was brooks call and if woakes had run, yeah he'd have lost his wicket no doubt, but brook would still be batting. Probably more like greedy to squeeze a few more runs before they wrapped up the tail, and wanting to get on strike. I wouldn't put it down to losing interest. Plus when you've been at the crease that long you're bound to have lapses in concentration. He pulled us back from next to nothing for 4 anyway. Job done really.
I wouldn't say he lost interest. Feathering the ball through last match was an attempted late cut rather than a 'waft', and Woakes ran him out this time around. This is a man who has scored a 300, you know!
@@alfredjohnson2647 I know what he has done, I watch every ball of every england test if I can and have for donkeys. I just feel like he doesn't take it serious enough once he gets to 100, he didn't even try to get back in his crease today, that was not desperation it was like ..oh well I already scored some runs fk it.. talented as hell but needs to value his wicket much much more imo..
@@scottwilliam6141 So you've never heard of New Zealand either? Is this the first you're hearing of cricket? Have you just arrived on Earth? What galaxy are you from?
New Zealand's poor amateur performances against this average English side confirms my theory that India threw the series against us because NZ was not a danger to the points table for the world series. India is one of the worlds most corrupt countries on the planet ( corrupt from the very top to the very bottom ) and I am sure that the Indian bookies and the players did very well out of the lost series. India goes over to Australia and thrashes them in the first test. I rest my case.
The commentary is top notch. Even when the NZ wickets were falling they NZ commentators are so animated!
You're right and should be said out loud. Good commentary is very rare these days.

What a beautiful day of cricket that was! Eng and New Zealand are always my top 2 best teams in the cricketing world at the moment.
What an absolutely stunning ground by the way. Beautiful.
test cricket in NZ is done properly, best around the world for the viewer who wants to go watch and even TV its just perfect.
@ reckon you're spot on there mate.
Pope looking good with bat and gloves...

Absolute shocker from Woakes. Firstly, it was Brook's call and secondly, ridiculous decision not to sacrifice himself for Brook, anyway!

@@karamjitdedyal752 If the ball is in front of the batsman, it's his call, if it's behind him, it's the non-striker's call.
there was never a single and last over before lunch wtf are they doing taking risky singles ??

Arsey England more like Soap dodger..🤦♂️👎🤮
@thrusta100 England will win..🤣🤣 Don't worry you'll get over it..😥 England didn't drop all them catces did they "NO"🤢

no way root said oh no as soon as he nicked it
He does that every time he plays a daft shot. It's hilarious and relatable
Eoin Morgan did the exact same thing when he smacked it straight to deep point in the WC final.
Always support NZ❤
Why?
Miss you AB Devilliers ❤😭🙏
Who played for neither New Zealand nor England. So, you're just an obsessive......
Huh?
Brook🔥🔥🔥
Nathan smith earned his beans🎉

because of one slog?

No selector would drop Southee in his last test before retirement.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 Then they are not a professional team.
@@funklebunkleforever By that argument no team is professional.
they don't call him Slow-thee for nothing
Harry brook is gonna score a lot of rhns for england
Not against Australia
Aussies will carve him up just like they did to India today winning by 10 wickets !
Does anybody know the name of the song/music they use on tvnz on demand like in the intros and wicket hightlights ect? its a catchy tune not so much a song cannot find it anywere :D
That dive for the 3rd wicket was so unnecessary 🤣. One for the cameras 🎥 😂
And NZ are currently one of if not the top rated test side, and England are destroying them in their own back yard. What a replacement for Root England have found in Brook when Root eventually exits.
Top rated? What u on about? England been arsey, destroyed? Only one player thanks to a tonne of dropped catches , stop the hyperbole Poindexter!...
A very good player.
He/she sure is.
root: "oh no" stokes: " oh my "
Is england best test team in the world right now.
Had to get Williamson out 3 times before he was given, but those moments don't make the NZC highlights, what a surprise 😂
Looks like they are playing cricket on Wimbledon Centre Court. Greenest strip I've seen for a test in a long time.
You've never seen a NZ Day 1 pitch before?
6 minutes of highlights from a full day when 15 wickets fall and a century scored...come on NZ Cricket. Where's the 30m version?
So annoying when the licensed broadcaster posts only 6 mins highlights of a game that lasts 8 hours. You get longer highlights for football. We saw 3 shots Brook played scoring a century, and almost as many from Williamson who scored 37. What a waste of time.
The highlights are free mate. Calm down
NZ quicks making Zak Crawley look really foolish. Is that a lesser spotted Stokes wicket?
According to NZ Cricket, Bethell still hasn’t scored a run in this series 😂
Why is Young not playing?
Didn't Williamson take his spot?
@DL-zq5ie yes, but he could open like he does in one dayers.
@Oasis012 who you dropping?
@DL-zq5ie Conway because Latham has had decent performances while Conway has bearly broke 20.
@Oasis012 i agree with u. Also because Latham is the captain, so regardless of his poor form, NZ still can't drop him
England > New Zealand > India > Australia
And Australia>England. Make sense of that.
At the moment, in series involving these teams, it is Away team > Home team.

To have Eng 27-3 and then let them off is abysmal.

I would wait for the result of Aus v Ind 2nd test before making that comment. Looks like it may be 1-1 in a couple of days over there.
