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

[nzfan]

Still a lot of runs to play with for NZ, don't need the field to be all that spread out just yet. Though Stokes is definitely picking on the scoring opportunities.

That's what happens with picking bowlers like Bracewell. If we had Ajaz bowling we'll have attacking fields.

Whoever has made these Dukes this summer needs sacked.

 

[Uppercut]

If England get close NZ can just keep getting the ball changed until it gets dark.

 

[nzfan]

40 more overs?

 

[Howe_zat]

Gavin's a ****ing joyless shitpail isn't he

 

[nzfan]

Come on.... should have kept Bracewell on. Couple of good shots and taken off.

 

[thierry henry]

wtf is this review. How can Blundell and Henry not clearly see it’s not out

 

[Moss]

Bairstow looking good, middling everything properly. Though don't think NZ have bowled all that well to him.

wtf is this review

This is all part of the usual script...

 

[thierry henry]

Bairstow and Stokes doing whatever they want

The Eagles.....desperado.

 

[Uppercut]

Bairstow looking good, middling everything properly. Though don't think NZ have bowled all that well to him.

He plays across his front pad and has an entire career of missing straight ones, why are they bowling outside off?

 

[nzfan]

Bairstow is nearly scoring at run a ball. Didn't even notice him playing a shot in anger.

Hope this jinxes him.

 

[nzfan]

Our plan is to spread the field and hope for some mistake or a slog? They need 4s not 6s. I think we need more fielders in the ring to stop those easy singles and make them take more risk.

 

[jcas0167]

This is where you miss Wagner right?

 

[ashley bach]

Bloody Jonny Bairstow, holding England together as usual.

 

[Moss]

160 runs in a session is a tall order but RRR not a problem if these 2 bat long. NZ need to come out with some better plans.

 

[nzfan]

Very defensive fields and no creativity. Just hoping they just get out.

If reports are to go by Kane will give up captaincy after this series. If Latham is going to captain we'll win less and less games i think.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Very small chance of winning, but a fair chance of Bairstow cementing his place for the next Test. (insert that glass half empty emoji)

 

[nzfan]

160 runs in a session is a tall order but RRR not a problem if these 2 bat long. NZ need to come out with some better plans.

The draw percentage will likely be at 80% If one of Bairstow or stokes get out England will shut shop. Absolutely no doubt about that.
