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

[Prince EWS]

Bowl Parkinson you cowards. Looked fun in that FC clip shown earlier.

Haha he's definitely fun. Soooo slow through the air, but bowls jaffas. Not sure if it's going to work out for him in Tests but it's going to be fun either way.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

is conway the stephen fleming type batsman new zealand have been searching for

Better than Fleming. More like Mike Hussey.

Been watching this morning finally, what a tough pitch to bat on.

 

[Aritro]

A glance at Mitchell's list of matches suggests I've watched most of his appearances for New Zealand, without retaining a single memory of him. I'll probably forget everything I've seen him do in this one as well, but he's showing a bit today.

Saving him for when Colin comes out to bat I suspect.

What the hell was that Mitchell?

 

[straw man]

What the hell was that Mitchell?

he's earned the right ok

 

[_Ed_]

Look at him go.

 

[jcas0167]

No pressure.

 

[wpdavid]

I think he's worked you out Ben. Shame we haven't got a wrist spinner in the side to ask some different questions of the batsmen.

EDIT
And here he is, so let's see how he goes.

What has Michael Vaughan said about this pitch?

Has a future as a B-grade movie henchman.
... and looks exactly like the IDLES frontman.
Runs in to bowl with arms going like a miniature tyranosaurus.
Hits ball good.


There's a lot to remember tbf.

Good first over from Parkinson.

 

[White Ball]

What lead do NZ need?

 

[straw man]

What lead do NZ need?

It's extremely hard to know - doesn't look too bad to bat out there all of a sudden, when you're in a partnership and the ball is 35 overs old. First time that's happened in the match.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Keep going boys.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

100 up

True I guess it is going to be conditions plus hope that Englands fragile batting line up continues to form under pressure?

What lead do NZ need?

Pitch is getting better for batting, England should get the best of it you'd think, NZ prob need 230+
who knows, maybe England could fold like a house of cards chasing 150.

Had never heard of the Idles, but I can see the likeness.
