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

[White Ball]

Go after it when they take the new ball or should it have been before they took the new ball? I'd think should have been before.

I am with you. Have a go before the new ball runs and overs both important here then again maybe Mitchell in this form feels the ball will come on even better with the new ball?

 

[nzfan]

Don't mind that from Henry, he tried and he's gone. At least this will help us get another 15-20 runs. Otherwise we'll have played for a draw which is not ideal. We should still be looking to win the series.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Shame

He may not get enough to face though. He'll get a not out but that's not of use

 

[Burgey]

Are there any extra overs to be bowled today?

England is 1-0 up. Are they really going to try to chase down say 280 odd in a little over two sessions?

Stokes is pretty aggressive on the field (and off), but that would be pretty ballsy in your first home series as skipper.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Awesome. Boult at 11

 

[White Ball]

That is a risk but I am thinking he seems a clever player who can take on the new ball and farm the strike too?

 

[Moss]

Don't think the Steve Waugh approach towards batting with the tail is a great idea when they're peppering them with the short stuff, only a matter of time before Henry succumbed. Anyway, hope Mitchell is able to up the scoring a bit.

shut up loser, we'll chase it down in 12 overs

Jamieson absolutely odds on to be out hooking

 

[straw man]

Jamieson absolutely odds on to be out hooking

you'd think a hook shot would be a bad idea with a back injury but apparently you are right regardless

 

[Lillian Thomson]

It’s still already looks like a hell of lot of runs in the 4th innings in under a day. Not that many years ago the team batting last would make 160 for 2 and we’d all go home. Different game today.
Certainly less predictable.

 

[Burgey]

shut up loser, we'll chase it down in 12 overs

You guys have won your test for the year already. Hush now.

 

[Meridio]

Jamieson going to put his back out even further trying those hook shots

 

[nzfan]

So Baz know the only way to bowl to our tail is to bounce them.

Jamieson absolutely odds on to be out hooking

Definitely Baz's idea to bounce our tail. Can't imagine Broad wanting to bounce players out at the stage of his career.

 

[Flem274*]

I don't think he can sway

 

[thierry henry]

Not sure what to make of this flagrant Chanderpauling by Mitchell

 

[Moss]

Jamieson going to put his back out even further trying those hook shots

He clearly decided he'd rather some quick runs in this situation than preserve himself for the next test. Hmm.

Also, how predictable the tail falling to the short ball stuff. At least bat it out till the new ball to see if England take it, and then start swinging FFS.

 

[Meridio]

Really think Mitchell should have been trying to farm the strike a lot more. And seriously, how many times has Jamieson been out hooking recently?

 

[Flametree]

Jamieson's batting is getting very SOuthee-esque. Thought he'd be a genuine asset at number 8 when he started. Not looking so likely currently.
