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

[Nintendo]

When will the selectors recognise Leach is a very poor bowler.New zealands Bracewell who is a part timer is better!.I can’t remember him beating the batsman ever.Bring back Ali and that is only slightly better .Why has stokes not tried Root

Cant bring back a retired player homie

 

[Nintendo]

I know wild speculation is fun but can we give leach a chance to play 3 straight games before we call him dogshit.

 

[_Ed_]

Sigh. Just when I was typing a post praising his 50.

Stokes seems to have persuaded him to come out of retirement...

 

[91Jmay]

Definitely think they'll be batting tomorrow now as we've done ok with the RR. Draw big favourite now I think

 

[Preed]

Read the papers Nintendo stokes has asked him to come out of retirement and my name is not homie

 

[sledger]

leach is fairly ok in spin friendly conditions, but in anything else he's very foakes-ish

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Nicholls was ...caught??

 

[Alex0paul]

Wtf are they doing

 

[Groundking]

So both sides are a shambles in the field and both sides are a shambles running between the wickets.

 

[White Ball]

Yeah, not looking a test #5's arsehole atm. He was a number 7 when he started his test career, no? Looks like he's suffering a serious nose bleed at the moment.

It is so funny the difference a week can make in Cricket!

 

[Moss]

Just been very soft from NZ after that serene partnership from Young-Conway. Pretty crazy how much the Blundell Mitchell combination has to pull NZ out of the woods this series.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Young and Mitchell emulating the wrong bits of Williamson/Taylor partnerships.

 

[91Jmay]

Great spell from Potts

He's been a revelation for sure, and his place now solidly cemented in the team.
Having closely watched his progress over the last 18 months, surprised so many here doubted his ability.
Looks a good one for the black caps, across all 3 formats.

Get Root on for Leach

 

[StephenZA]

How many times have they changed the balls between new balls!? It seems disproportionately high.

Crazy, both teams had about 3 each

Aside from the one soaked in cider.

Get Root on for Leach

A couple of hours ago I was pretty confident that Conway was hitting Leach out of the summer tests. And then Conway holed out and Nicholls was almost out in the same over, so I thought things might be improving. But other than those couple of deliveries, he's barely threatened. If Bracewell shows him up tomorrow, I'm with those calling for a replacement next time.
