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

[chris.hinton]

He only bowled 2 overs

Why have i got it in my mind he bowled a good spell in the 1st test.

Lets face it guys we are going to dominate the world in all formats for years.

 

[Gremlin]

Positives - Pope, Root, YJB, Overton (batting, think the short pitched stuff was ill advised by his skipper), Potts, Broad, Leach (10-fer!)
Middling - Lees (bowled by a worldie then run out by his partner so not done much wrong but no scores) Stokes (suicidal batting, average bowling whilst probably not fully fit but interesting / inspiring captaining)
Negatives - Crawley (not sure what the answer is for an opener but it's not Crawley) Foakes (Keeping error, poor batting then bad back / covid, not his match) Root's catching in the slips, The new Dukes balls that don't keep shape

Last time England dominance was declared in tests it lasted about a year.

Speaking of which, got any UAE tours coming up? Another must be due soon.

if lord thakur was bowling for new zealand would they have still lost 3-0

Nope don't think so.
Great for English fans test cricket is alive and well again, but they're a touring nightmare.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Think England have potentially found a gem in Potts. Looks fit, durable and moves the ball consistently. This winter in Pakistan will be a bigger test for him but I was thoroughly impressed

I would love for this to not be trolling.

I must say this eaves an interesting conundrum for England in the Ashes. Do they prepare dry flat pitches to favour 'Baseball' against an attack more potetnet in said conditions, which also render their own bowling less potent, or do they prepare the traditional greener wickets on which Australia struggle but will cause this kind of batting to fold like a deck of cards.

greentops v an australian lineup with smith a long way off his 2019 form imo. very different proposition. god knows what englands bowling lineup will look like by that point tbh

of course he could go beast mode again between now and then

Our spin bowling figures for the series

317 runs given off 49 overs. 5 wickets (out off which 2 tail enders) @ 64.

We have come from 5 bowlers to three.

I'm joking. I still think the jury is out, New Zealand handed it to us on a plate with poor bowling, Batting and bizarre team selections and there was a wiff off the "feel good factor" with new Coach/Captain.

 

[nzfan]

Don't think any of our bowlers figures will look good maybe barring Kyle

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Weird how the 3 Tests have followed such a similar pattern despite the pattern in question being kinda crazy (several major swings of momentum back and forth in the first half, somehow always resulting essentially in parity after both sides have batted once; NZ set a perfectly respectable total in the third innings, England chase it comfortably on day 5).

To be honest I'm not sure it's worse than the typical NZ away tour. They utterly embarrassed themselves in Australia.

so better or worse than southee post fire innings at lords?

 

[ashley bach]

100 run partnership off 13 overs!

Wow who on earth here saw that as a possibility?
OK the better question is who didn't?

 

[ImpatientLime]

reminded me a bit of 2004 when england chase some pretty toppy totals including nasser's farewell at lords.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

England are coming to NZ in the (southern hemisphere) summer for 2 tests (non WTC matches). Surely make it 3 - will get great crowds:

-chance for revenge after horror tour
-(hopefully) some exciting new talent and goodbyes to old for NZ
-Baz ball (and the McCullum factor)
-post covid trip for Barmy Army etc
-possibly get to see Anderson and/or Broad one last time

 

[GIMH]

Root England MOTS for me. Just

 

[slippy888]

was this series worse than when alex tudor scoring 99 not out
