*Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

[slippy888]

England are a fragile cricket team, they are better off getting in smackers of cricket ball like hales and livingstone and buttler in test team.

 

[Bahnz]

McCullum era starting with New Zealand being dismissed for 45 again?

Sunrise, sunset

 

[thierry henry]

Yeesh that was not a pretty innings from Conway

 

[straw man]

I'm glad we're bowling so that we can't be 30-5 after the first hour of our new coach's tenure.

Crawley earned the right to hit the first ball of England's innings for a six imo.

Mmm that might be sooner than expected.

 

[_Ed_]

Have faith mate, two of the very best batting. Early days still.

And they managed the best partnership of the innings so far - five.

 

[Meridio]

Bloody hell

 

[Spark]

Hmm suddenly this team being 6/19 against a county attack seems less baffling.

 

[Bahnz]

I swear if Devon had stood his ground that would’ve been given not out. No way Bairstow was in control of that release.

 

[GIMH]

Where did we find these Broad and Anderson blokes? They’d have been handy in the West Indies

 

[Meridio]

Feel like Conway had to play at that one with the angle from around the wicket, but jeez the other two were poor shots.

 

[nzfan]

Man.... what's this? I was going to be up to watch Conway

 

[Lillian Thomson]

This can always happen on a good seamers morning at Lords. A couple of years ago we were bowled out before lunch by Ireland.

 

[social]

Chances of Tubby having seen most of these players is < 5%

 

[straw man]

Sadly Young looking like he's not an opener (because he isn't) and Latham failing when the conditions are difficult, is not the most surprising way for this top order to fall apart.

Broad and Anderson at home though, it could be 2012.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Had worse starts to a summer.

 

[nzfan]

Hopefully Mitchell will surprise us all with some enterprising batting or Kane will be back being Kane of the old.

 

[trundler]

I shudder to imagine the Kiwi waaaahing if KW scores but everyone else collapses.

 

[trundler]

Hopefully Mitchell will surprise us all with some enterprising batting or Kane will be back being Kane of the old.

You do know this is being played outside NZ? Surely you want a new version of Kane if anything.

 

[straw man]

Hopefully Mitchell will surprise us all with some enterprising batting or Kane will be back being Kane of the old.

I don't know if it will work, but Mitchell absolutely right to use #intent here.

 

[Furball]

Got the game on while I potter around the house, is that Mark Taylor on comms? When did he start working for Sky?
