Looks very uncomfortable.

Our cricket is a disaster. They try to copy rugby. Bavuma will never be a Kolisi.

His stats are hilarious. He has a 7-fer and an 8-fer and his average is still mediocre.

Sounds like someone needs to work on changing his action immediately!

Crappers have come back from 2 zip down to level the T20 series at 2 all - none of the games have been remotely close.

ODI series starts on Friday

Aye, not sure what he's meant to be. A spinner who cam bat a wee bit? Still young yet I suppose.

Buttler and Stokes set - both approaching 50 and 15 overs to go......yikes.

Jaysus, just checked in on the cricket before kickoff. Pleasantly surprised. I'll take it.

Very happy indeed with the state of the game. Logged in just in time to see Conway get his ton.

Absolutely dominant performance by the BCs. Both Conway and Mitchell gets tons as the win comes with over four overs to spare.

Three in a row for NZ. The first t20 loss for England was very weird, like the team was drugged. All the changes can't help but there's been some very poor performances and the kiwis have grown in confidence, with loads of really good performances with the bat.

Getting bored of watching Buttler's bad tribute act to Eoin Morgan as captain. We do not need to see part time bowlers get flogged all the time.

NZ really need to look past Lockie as an option. He is so hittable even with his pace.

Brutal innings.

England missed a trick at the end though. Being bowled out was a little bit criminal, no need for Curran & Ali to go kamikaze with so many overs left.

Yep, could have been 400 if they'd played through the innings

Jamieson and Ferguson both going over 8 an over......they shouldn't be in this side - we have to have better options than them.

Well...another big loss incoming.

It has been a weird series for NZ. Sublime to awful in quick time.

England bowlers are doing a phenomenal job here.

It has been a weird set of matches for sure. England started off at a canter, then looked like someone had pulled the plug, while NZ went from easy beats to red-hot. Then there was a match where they essentially switched halfway through, and England are all over them again. Very odd.

Not the performance I wanted to wake up to.

I think the Crappers were asleep as well

Hell of a knock from Stokes but England should be concerned about the collapse at the end - 36 for 6 in about five overs I think
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but anyone seen Freddie Flintoffs face since his car accident? Fucking hell, completely disfigured

Really hope he gets back to a full and healthy life. Iconic sportsman, who provided so many fantastic moments and days, and by every account you'll ever read an absolutely lovely fella.

If we were in America we'd have spent the last few days putting up with conspiracy theories about how Flintoff died in the crash and the guy in the photos is still recovering from reconstructive surgery to make him look the part.

Thankfully we've not descended to that level. Yet.

Yes, got to know him a bit on the 2004 tour to the Caribbean and even as a lad he couldn’t have been nicer.

Just really shocked seeing those photos, had no idea it was that bad

What’s strange is why the wounds are like that so long after the accident. I almost ripped my right eye out skiing into a tree ten years ago and the wounds were pretty much healed in a month. It’s very strange.

He may have had repeated surgeries. It's the first time he's been seen in public since the accident. I think he must have been badly messed up.

Yup, that was my thinking, he has probably been through some fairy extensive reconstruction. He's a brave guy getting back out there
