England v New Zealand (Jun 2022 - 3 Match Test Series)

[philreich]

Not sure how Pope keeps getting selected for England. Absolute spud.

But what alternatives do they have? Bring back Hameed?

Brook, Malan, even Vince.

Root probably needs to bat at 3 though.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Jamieson gets through the Bairstow gate.

4/69….

 

[philreich]

These Poms simply don't know how to build an innings. If Root gets out before tea, the end could be swift.

Maybe because he is there best option. Average’s 60 in county cricket while most others are averaging mid 30s

We laugh, but in about 5 years we will be the ones crying.

Hate to say it but if Ben Stokes is still there , anything is possible.

Leeds 2019 , Edgbaston case in point.

Dang, I really did jinx it.

Very next Ball, Stokesy gone.

 

[NYRB]

No Ball on a wicket from Colin de Grandhomme

 

[NYRB]

its criminal at this level to be bowling wickets off a no-ball............

 

[CakeEater]

Then stokes nearly bbq's himself

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

This has been an incredible game of cricket.

 

[NYRB]

This has been an incredible game of cricket.

For a game that is likely to be decided within 3 days, its been a game full of ebbs and flows.

This has been an incredible game of cricket.

You can stick your IPL where the sun don't shine - NOTHING beats Test cricket!!!

 

[NYRB]

who is a bettter bat Leach or Parkinson?

 

[NYRB]

They need to get as many deliveries to the non-striker rather than Root here.

 

[NYRB]

Colin de Grandhomme going down has hurt NZ's chances big time here. NZ bowlers tiring

Not sure how Pope keeps getting selected for England. Absolute spud.

He plays on a road in county cricket his 50 average is equivalent to 30.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Go look at the scorecards of his hundreds in county cricket.

Some of his 200s have been 2 innings games with about 8 wickets total for the game.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Gee. NZ have really screwed the pooch here.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

England have a habit of winning close test matches, when they lose it's usually a belting.

 

[Plugger35]

England favourites to win it from here but if we can get an early wicket or two, especially Root, then the Poms might panic and bottle the run chase.

 

[Seedsfan]

And? He is out performing everyone at the level below comfortably

 

[Around the Wicket]

And? He is out performing everyone at the level below comfortably

Point is his 50 average isn't a true reflection of his ability.

He'll be lucky to average 30 in Tests.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Ollie Pope highest first class score of 274

Glamorgan - 6/672

Surrey - 4/722 - Pope 274
