That approach by the entire team creates self-induced pressure, emboldens the bowlers.

WI sorely missed the days of Sarwan and Shiv

Ajaz Patel to Shai Hope, out Lbw!! Latham challenges the decision with just one second left on the timer! Was a full in-drifter outside off, Shai Hope planted his front foot across a bit and took it on his front toe. There's no shot offered so impact doesn't come into question. That looks close in fact. There's no need to check UltraEdge as the bat is far away from the ball. Ball-tracking is taking some time to load - it finally comes into play and it returns three reds. It would have crashed into the off-stump. The Kiwis are jubilant! Shai Hope meanwhile shakes his head and has a wry smile on his face. He was trying to block out everything and went into his shell. Finally, his over cautious approach has led to his dismissal. NZ are just three wickets away now

Tage only have one speed. Extra slow batting.

Sun, Dec 21, '25 at 8:52 PM

Criminal approach...rather die on your sword than go down like this...Campbell & Hope especially are naturally attacking players...and to be drawn into the bat crowding fiasco is pathetic. The coaches need replacing, this is not the way to play cricket. The spinner bowls 22 overs for 12 runs!? Little wonder he picks up 3 wickets with so much self inflicted pressure building up.

Nonsense batting, punch length balls down the ground for singles

Sun, Dec 21, '25 at 10:11 PM

Look on the bright side.

Given this approach, Tage and paint will be fixtures on this team for some time to come.

Nandu not far from a debut to bat at 3.

@Brerzerk

Hope got a full toss and leave it alone. Sigh.

I hope Bishop asks Chase whose idea it was to adopt that batting approach. That is the most spineless batting I have seen. In the real world head coach, batting coach and captain couldn’t survive that sh$$ we just witnessed.
