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

[ashley bach]

Wow just too easy in the end, brilliant for English cricket to start a new era.
As for kiwi fans, life's a piece of s..., when ya look at it, always look on the bright side......

 

[ImpatientLime]

load up that doom and gloom thread fellas

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Well, that vindicates Stokes' decision to bowl first.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Might as well get my **** in here before we get smashed by Mccullum era England in a few months.

Lol NZ. Fake world champs etc.

 

[trundler]

load up that doom and gloom thread fellas

Yeah, what's the mourning phase for something like this? There's going to be an avalanche of whinge in a few hours which I'm not looking forward to.

 

[Heboric]

Ba Humbug, not a good day

 

[nzfan]

England in this form and vs India will be a top draw.

 

[Gremlin]

England positives - Lees, Pope, Root, Stokes, Bairstow, Foakes, attitude, NCCC for allowing free entry to the last day
Middling - Broad, Anderson, Potts
Negatives - Crawley, Leach, catching

 

[Daemon]

England in this form and vs India will be a top draw.

England in this form will steamroll India

 

[White Ball]

England in this form and vs India will be a top draw.

I am not so sure! England played well but it feels a lot of cracks have been papered over in this series! If England are 50-4 I can’t see Bairstow doing that to Bumrah! He looked all at see against his Yorker last year!

 

[ashley bach]

OK now shut up shop.

which shop?

 

[Groundking]

Southee 1/308 post Lords 2nd innings

Gotta feel for Boult here, bowls excellently but Southee is bowling like a clown and Jamieson ends up injured.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Southee 1/308 post Lords 2nd innings

But he's better than James Anderson somehow lmao

 

[ashley bach]

Bairstow will take us home!

You really know your S H I T

 

[91Jmay]

But he's better than James Anderson somehow lmao

Anderson 5 for 80 on a flat pitch.

Middling - Broad, Anderson, Potts
Negatives - Crawley, Leach, catching

5 wickets averaging 16.4 on a pitch with the most boundaries ever surely is better than middling?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Anderson 5 for 70 on a flat pitch.

Crawley will survive on MUH CAN'T BREAK UP A WINNING TEAM attitude even tho the bloke ain't even a FC level batsman never mind test.

Leach, yeah he's been jerked around but again difficult to justify his position.

 

[Teja.]

This is the second highest amount of total runs scored by a side in a loss ever. The first was in 1948 when England lost to a Bradman 4th innings classic.

Yeah all that, but it’s flat for a day five deck. If you set them 250 and they get a flier it really is on, given that would have been declaring say 45 minutes and however many overs earlier.

Genuinely think NZ’s best chance here is to do what they’ve done. Bowl eight to ten tight overs up front either side of lunch and England is out of it. Then set whatever fields you like all arvo and watch their young blokes crumble like saos in a blender.

Yeah the young blokes just completely crumbled.
