  • Honestly thought we would be  two wickets down in two or three overs this morning 
  • Can I come off the naughty step now please? 🤣😉

    Yeah but what time were they born, so we can get a definitive youngest to 10k 
    Root did it in the morning session. That needs to be factored in

    Just. But don’t repeat it next weekend please! 🫣😂

    Apparently there's been more leap years in Root's 31 years than Cook's, so Cook took a day less! 


    Good point. But cook had that amazing series down under where he scored 700 runs, factor in the time difference, cook was actually 32 by the time he scored 10,000 runs
  • Cant underestimate the contribution of foakes to that stand ...he had a good match ...a good victory but something to build on ...still doubts about 4 of the top 6 but a very good debut from potts..hope parky keeps his spot too 
  • next test .. Bairstow batting rubbish, slip fielding, excellent .. still, Bairstow out and Brook in despite a winning side .. won't happen though
  • We’re just three top order batsmen, two young quicks who don’t get injured and a classy spinner from being number one in the world.

  • Looks like Stokes might not be able to bowl in which case we are considering going in without a specialist spinner.

    At this rate Jimmy and Broad will be the only pace bowlers left in the country!

    the guys will literally go out of their way to not play parkinson.
  • Hate a Friday start to a test. What am I meant to do at work today if I can't watch the cricket? Actually work!? Hideous 
  • Some things are going to take a while to change in England's development of county players into test players
    If England had been planning on Pope batting at 3, why hadn't they asked Surrey to play him there this season, ever?
    Were they making it up on the fly or does the hierarchy lack the grey matter?

    Most of England's seam bowlers fired and across 2 innings there were 4 decent batting performances - this proved enough to win
    The opposition had 2 rain affected warm up matches as their only red ball cricket in 3 months, some had just landed from the IPL.
    We shouldn't get too excited by this one match
    Even if the Kiwis don't improve much this month, India will be a very different proposition

    Predictably Matt Parkinson is tossed back into the long grass for 2nd test - at least the poor sod won't be carrying the drinks as often this summer as he has in recent years.
  • Jack Leach keeps his place and an unchanged team
  • I do feel very sorry for Parky

    Was always going to happen, he need to take at least 5 wickets in the match to keep his place I reckon
  • Talk that Matt Henry has been given the nod by NZ ahead of Wagner to come in for Patel who didnt bowl well. NZ expected to run without a spinner. Nicholls also expected to return in place of the injured CDG.

    For now . Rashid is dropping hints that he’d like to come back to the test team . Got to be a no brainier

    Is Rashid playing regular red ball for Yorkshire? Until he does, he can't be considered

    If we could rotate him with parkinson that might be ideal. But with both rashid and moeen dropping hints about a test return... you've got to ask what on earth was happening under joe root if these both feel they can return now?
  • Maybe it was the outgoing ECB chief they had issues with. 
    Or Silverwood

    considering silverwood was also white ball coach, i doubt that. Very strange..

    Not seen anything from him(or any spin boeler) to say that will take any wickets or even hold up an end. He was sending down full tosses & pies. Root has been our best slow bowler over the past few years.

    I know what you are implying but I don't think that has anything to do with it.
    I could of course be wrong.
  • Kane Williamson ruled out of second test due to Covid

    DeGrandhomme is injured too. We also can't be certain, due to contact, that other members of the squad don't test positive today.
  • England win the toss and have put NZ in to bat
  • No late changed for England. NZ bring in Nicholls, Henry and Bracewell for Williamson, DeGrandhomme and Patel
