Going to script as Ireland are following on. Unlucky for Foxcroft to not get a century on debut.

following on
I thought that was illegal?
What about Laxman?
The bowlers will implode under the workload ...
@Bovidae said in Black Caps Test Tour to England & Ireland:
You can forgive Conway for getting out to that catch. Terrible camerawork in these highlights though.
Yeah as soon as I started watching, I was reminded how poor the camerawork was during our bunch of white-ball games there a few years back. Must be hiring locals rather than putting couple of specialist cricket camera ops who know how to track a cricket ball in those key camera positions.

Fair.
he is definitely justifying the hype I must say. I would dearly love him to have a huge series vs England ( along with any number of others ) it's worth noting he is the only one of the top six not 34/35 years of age too.
Great to see Nathan Smith among the wickets. Could be a crucial team member given the three main men all have a bad habit of breaking at the drop of a hat.
The thing with Ravindra he is very naturally talented,But I have seen this a lot, he gets bored batting it is almost too easy so he finds ways to get himself out.
He needs to get hungry and set targets to stay focused.
Crowe-Thorpe is very poignant as a trophy, both those two lost far too young. That article is a good read.

Mark Waugh/David Gower syndrome
After two weeks of heat and sunshine forecast this week …. Rain.
Got a members ticket Thursday too.
Shithouse.

Exactly right

That first choice side looks extremely strong provided everyone is fit.
Top six set in stone. Most settled and best top order in New Zealand Cricket history.
Smith benefits from a strong showing against Ireland. 8/9/10 can all bat too which is such a bonus.
Foxcroft did everything right except get a ton. Like Mitch Hay earlier this year he can count himself pretty unlucky assuming Phillips or Santner get in ahead of him. Only got to bowl one over too.

Well, they can't all be KW. I'd happily settle for a record similar to those guys from Ravindra to be honest.

Yeah but he could be more .

Might bring tears to a few eyes.
Especially @virgil
Lovely tribute.
I still remember the day at Eden Park when Marty came out onto the field during the interval of the New Zealand v Australia cricket world cup pool match. The noise and the feeling of love for him was huge. He lapped it up with grace. A lot of dust around that day
