Any word from Golfie about the terrible over rate yet?2

Test match cricket at it's best, brillant England0

That was amazing, what a test match. Almost the perfect test. Helped by a decent track and helpful fielding.1

The perfect Test would have featured a bowling comeback at the end tbf, but I'm a perfectionist0

What an incredible test match. Had it on on iPad next to my computer all day, but had to stop working when the fireworks started after tea. Amazing all those people who got to see that in person for free. I recon in five years time there will have been 500,000 at Trent Bridge today.5

England won with an incredible batting performance by Bairstow and Stokes - so he is pissed off that he can’t have a moan about us losing - usual rules …..Chizz said:Any word from Golfie about the terrible over rate yet?1 -
Asked a mate this question earlier. Haven't looked into but the best we could come up with was tour officials inn2013 I think when Cook KP and Bell all got tons.North Lower Neil said:Well done Bairstow!
Good to see 3 different batsmen getting centuries in a match for us, can't remember the last time that's happened?1 -
It’s time for you to go up the mountain with a tablet Callumcafc 😄Callumcafc said:Draw still very much possible. One of these two out within the first five overs, the other out about 10 overs later. Foakes and the tail see 110 required from 20, go defensive and see out the last 20 overs for a draw.
If Bairstow and Stokes can last 20+ overs, it's in our hands. If the Kiwis have them both early, it's going to be a difficult 30+ overs for the tail.0 -
Was at work so gutted to miss the final day after watching quite a chunk of the first 4 days. Just caught the highlights and was some batting display. Have to admit I have no idea what the New Zealand bowlers were playing at after tea, especially the short pitch stuff. I still think England would have won and won't take much away from Bairstow or Stokes but they were gifted a chunk of runs too.2

This lot deserve to be above the football team in the chat tonight. The game had everything. Hate the fact that our tail well and truly starts at 8, Leach's bowling isn't worth that sacrifice currently, I'd frankly rather promote Lawrence there. But it's churlish to moan, the spirit was everything today.1

Just watched the highlights again on IPlayer. Still can't quite believe it, what a run chase.
The change in mentality from the new captain & coach has allowed our naturally attacking players to thrive.
There will be times when this approach doesn't work, but the next couple of years will be fun to watch2 -

Bairstow hasn't been in great red ball form, you have to wonder what the fifth day tea time talk was. I guess if theres McCullum and Stokes saying encouraging you to attack, you're going to0

Just proves what a negitive impact Silverwood was having around the place! Just total different mindset..
Class yesterday! Test cricket is the best form of cricket.3 -
It's a curio that for one reason or another England have gone from a side packed with all rounders to play at 7 or 8 - Woakes, Curran, Moeen etc - to a team where the tail starts at 8.Jonniesta said:This lot deserve to be above the football team in the chat tonight.

And that positivity clearly made the difference with the way the Lees and Bairstow batted in particular. It's a "don't die wondering" attitude -too many of our players have been expected to adopt a safety first stance under previous managements and have been happy to do so.DubaiCAFC said:Just proves what a negitive impact Silverwood was having around the place!

"Positive not reckless". There is a difference.5 -
I was watching it after tea on the hotel balcony until literally I lost the connection just at the last knockings ffs.
What a test match 🤩🏏♥️1 -
great batting performance .. BUT, I am going to throw a cup of cold water on the last innings .. the Kiwis had just 3 fit pace bowlers and a novice spinner .. Bairstow is safe until he retires (aged 60?) .. Lees and Pope have come good .. Crawley got a near unplayable ball in the 1st Inns but his place must be in danger .. though an unchanged team for a 'dead rubber' might be the call0

Prior to his last three Tests, he scored centuries in back-to-back Test matches. That's not bad form!McBobbin said:Bairstow hasn't been in great red ball form, you have to wonder what the fifth day tea time talk was.

Bracewell has tested positive. There's enough time before the next Test so that he could still play, if well enough0

If you need to bore the opposition to death, you can’t beat Chris Tavare at No. 3.kentaddick said:

I am not sure what you were watching but that was clearly not Cricket as I have known it. I think we need to apologise to NZ for not playing the game.
