Cricket: NZ vs England

Well, I am on board to what the comms are saying. He is so out of form and confidence so shot he can't even tell if he gets a thick inside edge.
We have to try someone else in Aussie. Take a chance and if it fails it makes no difference.
-
One thing about DRS is that it gives a much better idea of form. No way an in form batsman doesn't instantly review that.
Do we have a warm up before the Perth test to try and get Raval back into nick?

Unfortunate thing with Jeet is that he's hardly played this "summer". - at least, not at first class level. Three innings for Auckland and now three for NZ - 48 runs in total. No short form cricket.
Looking closer - one of Auckland's games was rained out and the other two were low scoring affairs. Hopefully, he's played a bit of club cricket or he's badly underdone for test cricket.
-
Raval v Starc/Cummins/Hazlewood is just men against boy type stuff. It'll be a bloodbath.
-
Aussie have set us up by going from one pink ball test to another, while NZ has no warm-up game under lights.
-
@Bovidae Even if they'd given us a warm up game it would have been at the Coober Pedy Domain on a pitch of rolled opal mine tailings!
We're probably better off practicing at home rather than at the mercy of those deck stacking w@nkers!

If its any consolation the pink ball hasnt done much in Adelaide and Perth has been a road the last couple of years.. in saying that Jeets up against that lot, is a big ask

There's only been one test match at new Perth Stadium, and the pitch was a 'shocker' said the batting mafia. Not a road. Cracker of a test match. Paine gutsing it out v Bumrah on a pitch with dodgy bounce.
No idea what it will do this time though, 2 years young, no history, plus it is a drop-in.

Bat two days, there is no way you should lose from there. Would take a miracle
How are you feeling about that now?
There was a test in NZ quite recently that is starting to look quite similar (unfortunately it is the other way around).

Looking back, we only batted for four sessions. But that said, I'm pretty relaxed. Draw or England win only two options now.

I think we're actually too good to have one of those "ye olde" style NZ collapses.
We can still collapse - but we probably have to be a bit blasted out. Latham, Williamson, Taylor, Nicholls, Watling are collectively too good to all fall apart and throw their wickets away on a flattish pitch.
If the Australians put us in on a lively pitch and unleash Starc, Hazlewood and Cummins we might easily get blasted out.

So Engerland lose their last 5 wickets for 22 runs.
Thank you @booboo that worked rather well.
Best that you don't get out of bed until stumps though.

Wasn't asleep but hadn't been checking score updates. Seemed to work.

I would like to think so too Chris, but earlier I suggested Jeet could stick around and the reverse happened ha ha, so I will stick to collapse tomorrow for now
-
Poms'll have to roll us in about less than 50 overs tomorrow to win.
If they do, all credit to them and we'll have to sing Led Zepps "Nobody's fault but mine" all the way to Perth.
Up to our best in Kane and Ross to complete the series win by batting the entire 1st session ( he types jinxingly!)
-
Crunched some numbers and I reckon we have to bat to midway of the last session to be safe.
75 overs at 2.5rpo = 187
Plus 76 on the board
Less 101 deficit
Target = 163 in 15 overs = 10.9 rpo
Would think that's safe.70 overs at 2.5 = Target of 150 @ 7.5
Possibly achievable
