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

[Stig O'Hara]

Jimmae’s got 2!!

….so’s Bairstow.

2/2

 

[NYRB]

2 down early for the Black Caps. England right on top early here. Bairstow with 2 one handers

 

[eddiesmith]

So who do we play in the main series this year?

 

[NYRB]

3 in the morning session. England all over em

 

[Santana]

New Zealand has been bang average since the WTC Final.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Broad gets Conway, caught Bairstow again.

3/7

 

[Rabish Binney]

Par batting first around 330 ish here.

Things to do in my lifetime: Watch a Test match at Lords. How good is this?

Me and the misses going to England next year for a 4 week holiday around May - June

I’ve enquired about getting tickets to the Ashes test at Lords in June but don’t like my chances…..

Anyone been in a similar situation and had success in getting tickets (I am a SACA member but that doesn’t guarantee anything)

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

Gotta love how reserved Taylor is at a 3/7 scoreline. He'd be going ballistic if this was on our national coverage.

Lords does reciprocals for SACA Members.

Went to 2019 Ashes in Manchester.

There are ticket sellers outside the ground that sell tickets. Pretty sure you can walk up to the gate and get tickets on game day.

 

[Bedi]

eventful start that's for sure

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Home brand Australia proving to be a cheap imitation.

 

[NYRB]

Not a bad toss to lose to be fair. Would stilll have batted first though

Having listened to him on Sports Sunday and on radio recently I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of the first Test matches he's watched not involving Australia in years.

He's already managed get a Davey Warner reference in.

 

[Bedi]

Looking at that scorecard you'd be certain Bairstow was keeping. He's been quite brilliant

 

[NYRB]

Warne used to cover a fair amount of UK England test matches in commentary, is the Eoin/Tubby combo a permanent thing now for Sky?

 

[corbies]

You wonder how many Test matches the previous management cost England planning for a future that never came?

 

[Bedi]

great start to the debutant!

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Woof, imagine getting Kane Williamson as your first Test scalp in your first over. Well done Potts!

 

[NYRB]

wowsers 4 down

Potts with a wicket in his first over of test cricket!

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Potts gets a horribly out of form Williamson in his first over.

Kiwis in deep pooh.

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

Holy shit! What a first over in test cricket!!

 

[NYRB]

Time for Daryl Mitchell to step up here, I don't rate him as a test batsman but if he can get us out of this hole with KW he will change my opinion.

NZs test match batting isnt their strength. And looking at this lineup, it looks a bit weak and out of form for me.

 

[PhatBoy]

Yuck

 

[eddiesmith]

Great confidence booster to play some minnows after the Ashes.
