Geez that's a waste

 

[morgieb]

That is...not good.

 

[nzfan]

That ball to Latham was a bit heavy.

 

[Prince EWS]

Will be super interesting to see Jamieson bowl with the Lord's slope. That skiddiness from a length plus that vicious in-ducker he has....hmmmmm

I'm looking forward to seeing if his red ball bowling has been impacted by kind of getting the yips with the white ball a couple of times.

Maybe "induce a horrible nothing shot out of nowhere" was the plan all along in which case, Nasser was spot on.

So Taylor and Watling's retirements...

Conway goes to 4. Blundell moves to 6/7....will Rachin be ready by then? Also perhaps not convinced by him as an opener

I honestly don't know if Taylor intends to retire any time soon. He's not picked in the T20 team anymore, there are hardly any ODI's scheduled over the next 12 months - if Taylor wants to keep himself in the frame for another WC he kinda needs to keep playing tests to keep himself adjusted to international cricket.

Huge gap between bat and pad there

 

[straw man]

Time for Kaneway

 

[Moss]

Cashing in is just not the Tom Latham way

 

[Bahnz]

Haha, Wood hits 91mph first ball, fantastic stuff.

 

[wpdavid]

Is Robinson always been this slow or is he a bit tense or the Lords slope he's not comfortable with? Read few articles he's sharp. He's floating the ball literally.

It might be due to nervousness on debut. The wicket should help him settle down.

 

[Athlai]

Love Wood.

 

[nzfan]

Wood is awesome to watch. Always committed to bowl heavy balls.

 

[Bahnz]

Conway looking distinctly uncomfortable that last ball. Getting it into his armpit at 90mph+ definitely worth a go.

EDIT: Nicely done Mark.

Robinson is your classical english type medium fast seamer. The pace he is bowling is an accurate representation of what he normally bowls.

 

[nzfan]

The master is in...

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Aren’t they gonna concussion protocol Conway?

That's one are most bowlers in domestic cricket bowl to him as long as they're over 130k

1 down at lunch would be good. Very impt partnership this

 

[trundler]

Love Wood.

It is Pride Month, after all
