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

[Plugger35]

Williamson wins the toss and has chosen to bat, the pitch and conditions look good for batting so hopefully we can pile on the runs.

We've dropped Jamieson and Henry for Williamson and Wagner so we've strengthened our batting at the expense of our bowling so we need to bat big.

Classic Broad dismissal of a left hander to start proceedings

Latham in 2022 now has 328 runs @ 29.81. It includes a 252.

61 runs @ 7.63 in the series v SA and England this year.

One of the worst reviews you're likely to see from Young.

Leach strikes with his first ball of the match.

 

[CakeEater]

Surely thats doing too much

 

[corbies]

Geez that's a tough one. The bats too close to the ball in that frame where it hits the pad to be sure and to therefore overturn but just from experience you feel like the two noises were bat hitting pad and ball hitting pad.

Good luck umpiring that sort of thing.

 

[corbies]

I'm fascinated by Conways ability to cover the ball from going past his outside edge. I don't know how he doesn't get bowled between bat and pad all the time or chop on.

Edit: Cricviz says 92% of Conways edges are inside edges. The average for all Test players is 57%.

Another Kiwi out for a start. Loose from Conway.

England just too good for them this series.

You just knew he was going to chop on didnt you?

 

[PhatBoy]

In all the tests where I watched David Boon and Gus Logie field at short leg or silly point, I never once saw either of them get hurt on the shins

Now every game I watch the bloke under the lid is putting more and more shit on his legs. If pope had any more padding he’d have f***ing high jumpers landing on him

As long as you ignore the majority of my other posts I am essentially Ponting like in my ability to predict cricket events in real time.

 

[corbies]

Nicholls batting like a tailender, get your shUt together bro.

Its the least amount of runs he's had after 50 balls of an innings in his Test career.

The Mitchell pull shot is elite.

 

[eddiesmith]

They're playing again? So played 2 tests, then when we went overseas for an ODI series and now back for just one more test???

 

[corbies]

I cant believe they haven't reviewed that.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Absolutely plumb, not reviewed for some bizarre reason.

 

[corbies]

Need to know your umpire too. Erasmus hates giving a LBW so him saying not out isn't necessarily a guide.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

What it is with England and good fortune at this venue?

 

[eddiesmith]

That is gold

 

[eltrain]

That’s one of the most bizarre dismissals I have ever seen

Different XI entirely

 

[Plugger35]

Take a bow Mitchell and Blundell they have got us back in this test match.

 

[Pippen94]

Two boring sides

 

[FRUMPY]

Take a bow Mitchell and Blundell they have got us back in this test match.

Mitchell having some sort of series

Tom Latham not so much

Take a bow Mitchell and Blundell they have got us back in this test match.

Wut.

Didn’t see England’s run chase last Test?
