Cricbuzz has confirmed NZs first XI for the 1st test:





Ben Stokes batting 7 is interesting. Im expecting NZ to win the series 2-1 on their home patch.

 

[Plugger35]

It should be a good test series like most NZ v England series are, also good to see Williamson back and a debut for Nathan Smith.

 

[Plugger35]

Stokes winning the toss and has chosen to bowl first, Latham said he would have done the same so the pitch should do a bit early.

 

[Bedi]

Was going to say it's crazy NZ haven't beaten England at Christchurch since 1984 but fact
England have won 22 series to New Zealand's 3 i guess it checks out

 

[Bedi]

Bit more people here in Christchurch than in Durban yesterday!

 

[Plugger35]

Conway gone to a great caught and bowled catch from Atkinson.

 

[Bedi]

4 overthrows. Should never happen

 

[Bedi]

Very harsh for the bowler those runs go to their figures

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Lots going on in the first half hour.

By geez, it’s a glorious cricket oval, anyone been there?

[Plugger35]

Latham looking in good touch and doing most of the scoring so far.

 

[Bedi]

Very cautious start by Williamson. Makes NZ's 3-0 win over India even more extraordinary he wasn't playing

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Latham is flying atm.

Yep - very quaint oval in a precinct - very English

Test Cricket in NZ is the best

That is surprising that they haven't beaten them there for 40 years however, it's only 5 tests;

This is a total Bazball English team - a fourth choice keeper and a lad batting at No.3 with 0 first class hundreds - the County system shunned

And a spinner who is third choice for his county

Forgot to add that the lad batting at 3, bats at 7 for his county…but he has talent apparently

Yet i am still nervous about next year.

God forbid this mob beat us on home soil after we have butchered the last 2 series over there to only come away with 2 draws.

I hope I'm not about to jinx him, but Latham looks like he's on one today. I really like watching him bat, I like his technique. He always looks like he has time.

edit: shit.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Latham a bit too keen on a ball that nipped.

 

[Bedi]

Very nice bowling

You did it alright!

 

[Plugger35]

A typical Latham innings, he often looks good but doesn't go on with it.

Young being dropped after a good Indian tour is rough.

Also no Jamie Smith for England?
