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

[Xix2565]

So it's NZ 132-10 in 40 overs. Wonder if England can match it?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Now to get some sleep. Well done CDG

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Smart grab from Pope.

It is a good test so far

 

[White Ball]

Crap score but they have pushed back a little bit if England start badly there could be life in this match yet

Haven't checked in to this thread, but is anyone worried about Kane long-term? Just looking to gauge the consensus

Not a follower of the IPL, but that dismissal of his was extremely tentative. Basically a floaty half volley from Potts which he's prodded at with no conviction whatsoever. I know how the glide to third man is his 'go to' shot, but maybe he needs to look at tightening up there and putting away that shot?

EDIT : Maybe half volley is harsh, just short of driveable length.

As you say only one innings etc.

However yeah the IPL campaign bar boosting his bank balance was a disaster for him. He was made captain of a side who have been poor for a few years and who binned David Warner and he done little with the bat sadly.

Its a very long campaign away from home in a team struggling with a lot of eyes on you as captain, he has to be a little frazzled atm.

I know some oversea players rock up to the IPL and once the cheque clears they don't care, I don't think Kane would be that type of guy.

And now Potts is off injured, and we're already without the services of Archer, Stone, Wood, Robinson, Woakes, Mahmood and Fisher. Maybe TRJ will have to join Anderson and Broad in the next match after all.

Anyway, NZ all out now, so lets see how out batsmen do.

 

[Moss]

CdG having a nice little late-career renaissance with the bat. Too bad it’s coinciding with the top order going through an alarming drop in output.

I thought their new era started in the West Indies 2 months ago...

Darren Stevens is still playing red ball

Average now almost 40 (39.63) while striking at 80.

Should be enough for a handy 1st innings lead...

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Need to dismiss them for under 250 and bat properly in the 2nd innings. Otherwise we need rain.

 

[Aritro]

Omfg, this needs to happen.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Lees look like pudgy Cook under the helmet

Promising start by Southee.

 

[Nintendo]

Southee is hooping the ball around corners atm and england are down a pacer + playing a spinner who has no test experience. If new zealend can keep the lead to under 100 then there in this with a solid chance.

 

[Jarquis]

both debuted in test number 2464 sir

Not disputing that but Potts was selected and handed his cap prior to Parkinson being picked. He literally started playing for England before Parkinson

 

[thierry henry]

Southee hooping it, no real swing for Boult
