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

[wpdavid]

Mitchell would have as many test centuries in England as Greg Chappell if he gets one in this innings.

I considerably fewer innings too. But I hadn't realised that Greg only has three, as I remember all of them and figured that he must have made another couple that I've forgotten.

 

[Aritro]

It's basically Martin Crowe and then Darryl Mitchell

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

A big unit like Joverton needs a bit of overhauling quite frequently.

 

[Bahnz]

Kinda looks like England let the pressure off a bit after tea, bowling so many overs from Root. Interesting that Stokes didn’t bowl at all.

Again well done Mitchell and Blundell, crazy series, NZ would’ve been mangled and embarrassed without them.

 

[Burgey]

Daryl “Call me Braddles” Mitchell at it again. Wafg.

Amazing series for him amongst the turgid detritus of his colleagues

Blundell has fought hard too, but otherwise hard to disagree with this assessment.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

England clearly needed a Dan Lawrence to break this partnership.

Partnership breaker
Unorthodox action

 

[Starfighter]

Interesting that Stokes didn’t bowl at all.

Knee's ****ed again.

 

[Skyliner]

The top order battlers collectively take the shine off the new ball so batsmen Mitchell and Blundell can make hay. Just need the two batsmen to bat through most of the second day now.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Blundell has fought hard too, but otherwise hard to disagree with this assessment.

And Boult has bowled well. The rest have been awful.

 

[trundler]

This tour killed the credibility of all fanciful ideas about Southee being as good as Anderson. A true shame. A real shame because that was a wonderful avenue for shithousery.

 

[straw man]

Who needs a batting line-up when you have Daryl Mitchell

 

[straw man]

In such great form he even middles it from the non-striker's end!

That's one for the ages. And so beautiful that it took NZ to 123 for 5 too - who said the gods of cricket don't have a sense of humour.

One bad test?

I nominate the George Bailey test then.

 

[trundler]

One bad test?

I nominate the George Bailey test then.

M8 he's 1/300+ since the first innings. Hard to argue against one bloke besting the other in the same series so comprehensively.

 

[Daemon]

Mitchell’s actually done better than Root this series. Immense.

 

[Chubb]

Always felt the Overton twins were a bit overrated and Jamie showed why he’s behind Archer, Wood, Stone etc as out and out pace bowlers, as much as I wish him well. Though he and his brother are exactly the kind of kids who would have bullied me at school in Devon so maybe I don't wish him well?

 

[ataraxia]

grr

Daryl Mitchell's test record vs England (this is his 7th innings against them):

73 (test debut)
6
13
108
190
62*
78*

Overall 530 runs at 106. He's done better than the Don vs England. Hope he can get another 100 tonight.
This series 451 at 150.33.

And also won a World T20 semi against the Poms too.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Clearly it's all to do with his dad instilling him with the South African mindset since he never lost a rugby match against them.
