Ajaz is the only player in test history, and will remain the only player in test history to take 10 wickets and not get another bowl for 6+ months.Stokes batting terribly atm, but luck is going his way.
Ajaz Patel still hasn't bowled in a Test since his 10-fer lol
You happy giving Will the flick?CDG getting injured really isn't good, could be the end of his career with nicholls back next test. Question is do NZ trust mitchell enough with the ball to play him as a 5th bowler? Could very well see
1.Latham
2.Conway
3.Williamson
4.Nicholls
5.Mitchell
6.Blundell
7.Bracewell
as the batting lineup, don't know how NZ would feel with 3 pacers+ Ajaz and bracewell as the bowlers in england conditions.
Ehh, 5-6 low scores against SA and ENG. Conway was great opening in england last year. Could see them keeping young and just swapping nicholls and CDG next text with mitchell at 7, but don't know if kane trust's mitchell's batting.You happy giving Will the flick?
Like the idea of Conway opening, perhaps Will can move down the order.
Either way enough for a result, get one of these fellas soon and it could finish today.Wonder how many sessions we actually get over the next two days. Might not even get two sessions in given it's 80% and 70% chance of rain Sunday and Monday.
Nope, NZ still 1.7, Eng 2.3Well yeah looks like England favorites now…
Was just thinking the same thing.Love how noene has mentioned the fact that we just had a repeat of the WC final 6 off the overthrow from the diving bat incident bar the runs.
You should change your name to black coffee.Was just thinking the same thing.
Ah the dreaded day England won the world cup, sorry I mean won the boundary count.
