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

[Fuller Pilch]

I see that 4 of NZ's 5 lowest scores in England have been at Lord's: 47, 67, 68, 74
Also 67 at Leeds (Headingley)

Anyone got an example of a worst first session of a test series for me

Not really, but take it easy on the black caps, its never easy taking on on

What a terrible first session. Last time at Lord's Devon got his 200 and all was good.

That feels like about 6 years ago.

we got bowled out for 45 that one time.

 

[nzfan]

I'm optimistic about the series still but not at optimistic about this test match. If we're bowled out for less than 100 it'll take more than a miracle to come back.

We will still get reasonable runs in the second dig but didn't expect the first session to be as bad for us.

I'm optimistic about the series still but not at optimistic about this test match.

Oh don't be such a negative Nelly, you're 2/27 since you were 4/12!

 

[Bahnz]

This team has just felt so rudderless since the WTC Final.

Fair call... That's some optimism. I really want to hit the sack but I feel like CDG and Kyle can bat so can Ajaz. Too much optimism, a bit like standing on a train track and hoping it'll swerve away to the next track.

 

[Aritro]

I mean... I was taking the piss to be fair...

They played well for most of that 1st test draw in India, and really well in the 1st test vs SA. Otherwise the rest has been very poor. I was confident of a good 1st test performance, but now we need a miracle or rain.

 

[Moss]

Blundell was dismissed in similar fashion against South Africa IIRC. Barring a couple of quick fifties against tired attacks, he’s looked very muddled with the bat ever since he became first choice keeper.

 

[_Ed_]

FFS, Jamieson.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

What a waste.

 

[Flem274*]

that's enough for me

when i wake up i hope stead and white have done the honourable thing.

 

[thierry henry]

I feel a little bit better

 

[White Ball]

Heavy rain forecast Saturday, Sunday and Monday so this looks like a draw but didn’t expect NZ to start this poorly.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Here comes Southee to calm things down after that frenetic Jamieson innings.

 

[wpdavid]

Counterattacking does make sense, but he'd already taken six from the over.

 

[nzfan]

I mean... I was taking the piss to be fair...

I know but you just feel like these guys have surprised many times so never give up

 

[Moss]

Nothing like a top order collapse to allow the tail to play the one way it knows, consequences be damned.

Yes and CDG will naturally score quickly
