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

[LordLucifer]

Probably whoever has seen any sport - like every team sport in the world - that has substitutes.

Oh yeah they’re the devil

I played the game for near on 50-years and never ever was a player allowed to be replaced once the match had started regardless of the circumstances..

This is just more of the kumbeyah crowd taking over.

Look I agree, a bowler can break an ankle in their follow through and it’s just bad luck concussion should be no different

I actually wasnt aware that you could use subs in test cricket....so it was a bit of a surprise to me as well.

 

[FreoRicci]

Interesting match up.
Do we like all out by day two or the batting fest in Pakistan?
Two different challenges

 

[Santana]

Labuschagne was subbed for Smith when he got hit in the head for that 2019 Lords test

Really? You don't remember the Jofra vs Smith thing from 2019? When Marnus came in as sub?

 

[Dogsman16]

Liking this Mitchell counterattack. An 80 lead can quickly turn into 130 - 140+. And we know england love to crumble with the bat.

So. Plenty of people before 1970 played cricket for 50 years without white balls being invented or one day internationals being invented

Kumbayah criwd? Are you ****en serious?

Yeah what we should be encouraging is MORE concussions and the nurological and mental health issues that come with them.

Its not something that occurs all that often and no that didnt ring a bell. Reminder me which test match was it?

Great partnership from Mitchell and Blundell, a couple of Lord's tons there for the taking, they might have to wait until tomorrow though.

 

[PhatBoy]

They still have to bat again and they were lucky they even got what they did.

I wouldn't be blowing too much smoke up their ass.

Can I praise their fight back yet?

 

[Kapow!!!]

KP picking up the baton from Warnie as the token coked up commentator talking non stop rubbish.

Not going to lie it was seriously jarring. Listening to KP was like listening to the Channel 9 boys club. Comparing his stints with Athers and Tubby was night and day.

From 4/56 to 4/236, where the hell did that come from?! Esp after the first innings debacle. Incredible effort and an intriguing twist indeed. Gotta love test cricket

 

[Around the Wicket]

I for the life of me don't understand Stokes bowling bouncers, his the least intimidating bowler getting around. He averaged like 100 in the Ashes with the tactic.

 

[BarryMorgan]

Admittedly not the best ground to debut at for a spinner, but Parkinson looked completely non-threatening - Root outbowled him in the space of one over.

Tubby is a genuinely good commentator when you get him away from his Channel 9/7 former team mates.

Bowls so slow through the air, seems unlikely to trouble many at test level even if he can find a pitch with a bit of turn.

The “ come on parky “ shit from the new ? Pommie keeper was doing my head in

Turn down the stump mikes please

Amazing England is in this position after they had NZ 7/45 on the first morning.

 

[John Smith92]

Be interesting to see how much the second new ball does tomorrow. Has the pitch completely flattened out, or was it always like this but this is the first innings either teams managed to last 40 overs? If the latter, England are ****ed imo

 

[frankrizzo]

Its just as well so much happened on first two days forecast doesnt look that great for rest of the test.

Interesting also that root always got blamed for that tactic of using stokes as the enforcer when maybe it was just that he was too weak a skipper to tell stokes thats not a good role for him and its actually stokes who thinks he does that job well.

His strength as a bowler is pitching it full and trying to get some swing... it's such a bad tactic for him.

It looked flat from day 1, just both sides batted shit.
