        We'd still say Hadlee was a better player.

        If Hazlewood was a kiwi, Richard Hadlee wouldn't have a knighthood.

        Sure he would, for the following important reasons:

        1. Hadlee was better
        2. If 1 is not enough, Hadlee was first
        3. If still in doubt, see 1

        Hazlewood was barely a glint in the milkman's eye when Hadlee was finishing his career.

              Perhaps the retorting meme supply was running low 🙂

              Will be interesting to see how Bancroft goes tonight. Warner wasn't the one I'd have picked to struggle most on his return.

                    Astonishing that he could effectively drop and then catch a ball arriving so quickly to him.

                    Well balanced match right now although the weather may have the final say whoever gets on top.

                                        Boundary ropes were also red as were the commentators' jackets.

                                          England's feeble top order actually overperforming a bit again yesterday, but still England were smashed.

                                          Imagine when their top order reverts to their mean. Against this persistent bowling g attack.

                                          England will be a shell of a team by the end if this series.
