I didn’t realise Paul Collingwood captained the women in 1973. He really did have a long, interesting career didn’t he…Chizz said:

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the last 2 tests. What a positive mindset they have embraced. Rolling the kiwis over is no mean feat.2

yep we made them look ordinary, and they really aren't. Caught myself thinking "the real test will come vs india", but tbh new zealand and india are just about par with each other imo.ozaddick said:I thoroughly enjoyed watching the last 2 tests.

In no way - batting, bowling or fielding - are NZ in the same class as India right now. A year or two ago, sure.Chizz said:

Really looking forward to the India test match. Would love to see Bairstow & co smash them all over the park1

I'm already chubbing up at the thought of Jimmy knicking Virat off twice3

In results, India aren't substantially ahead compared to a year ago, when New Zealand beat them in - arguably - the most important Test match of 2021.Leuth said:

In red ball cricket, this year, they've lost both Tests they played in South Africa, thrashed a poor Sri Lanka twice at home and drawn with Leicestershire.0 -

its a shame kohli is no longer captain, would have loved to have seen him stood there dumbfounded as YJB tears them apart.Gravesend_Addick said:Really looking forward to the India test match. Would love to see Bairstow & co smash them all over the park0 -
They'll still spend the entire test match with the camera glued onto him. Can't stand the blokekentaddick said:

Same, think he's tried to pull in a kind of football-esque vibe into cricket, loosely intimidating umpires and visibly looking irritated at batsman and decisions. It doesn't help that the BCCI is a truly awful organisation. You just have to look at how root/stokes and williamson conduct themselves to see you can be nice and play hard.Pelling1993 said:

Team announced, Billings plays (I'm assuming Foakes not out of isolation? but hopefully available for Surrey next week?)
Jimmy back in for Joverton (can we have him back for the T20 tomorrow night pls?)
Potentially harsh on Joverton but hard to not bring Jimmy back in. I would have made a case for Broady dropping out given he hasn't been at his best this series (Pace down, accuracy off, lower Expected wickets metric than he has ever returned in a series before etc.) But again hard to drop Broad for a big one Vs India.0 -
Whilst Broad certainly hasn't been at his best he was better than Overton with the ball and if we could catch he would've had quite a few more polescantersaddick said:Team announced, Billings plays (I'm assuming Foakes not out of isolation? but hopefully available for Surrey next week?)

Though Broad was a bit unlucky v NZ, bowled some very good spells without the reward a couple of times.1

every time i write broad off and say he's probably passed it he tends to rip through with ridiculous figures with like 5-30 or something.3

Some of these guys, possibly?Pelling1993 said:

Any idea why its starting at 10.30 tomorrow & not the very usual 11.0

Poor reason imo. The 2019 Ashes match at Headingley coincided with the Mens final at Wimbledon. They didn't change the time of thay did they.Pelling1993 said:

Why not just start the Blast game 30 mins later.

No, they didn’t change the time. In fairness the Headingly test was 6 weeks after the Wimbledon final though. it was the longest final in Wimbledon history but not quite that longgolfaddick said:

So it’s easier for Indian tv to schedule it.golfaddick said:Any idea why its starting at 10.30 tomorrow & not the very usual 11.0 -
I don't know the answer to that one but, perhaps, because the Blast game is meant to finish by 10.00pm and not 10.30pm? I suspect that, even on a weekend day, some parents of young children wouldn't want to be getting home with them at 11.00pm or even 11.30pm. Given that there are so few matches in The Blast which aren't school nights (unlike The Hundred which is played in the hols) the Counties probably aren't keen to limit their future supporters even further - the Test today, let's face it, will be mostly populated by adults.golfaddick said:

That's madness. Two big events in London on the same day AND a Test Match in Leeds?oohaahmortimer said:

I think they should put the test match back to 11.45 so it doesn't clash with Charlton V Kilmarnock.7
