*Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

[Meridio]

good we're getting this collapse out of the way in this televised warmup, when's the first test?

We only play 2 test series, I believe the first is at Nottingham in a week or so?

 

[Chubb]

Yeah, this is what you get when you have mickey mouse warmup games that take all intensity out of the game. Guys that just aren't quite switched on to competitive cricket.

think Porter caught them cold because he wanted to prove a point, after a couple of leaner years with Essex and not making England.

Only watched 30 mins but looks good bowling conditions but not absolutely unplayable. Fair comment? Accuracy superb.

Sunny as well so Clowderson meme officially dead

 

[OverratedSanity]

Potts outperforming those useless old farts Broad and Anderson. Vindicating their dropping with each wicket.

 

[wpdavid]

I think its tough when you can see the shape of the game. I wouldn't like to see Dawson or Ali pulled in as they would add too much to the batting - Bess also. One of the Parkinsons would seem fairer in the circumstances or Virdi, or the young Afghan lad in Kent if they need someone who can race there quickly.

Virdi hasn't played any FC cricket all summer, so he was never an option. Parkinson sounds fair enough.

That looks like pad first to me but not sure you can overturn

 

[Meridio]

Na, they're full of it. Bat first, then pad. The ball's too far to the offside to be pad first.

 

[thierry henry]

Yeah I just saw an inside edge onto pad ?‍

I dunno, reckon frames didn't line up with snicko just no way that could have been pad

It looked like the noise began before the ball had reached the bat but I don't have any real issue with them deciding it's bat first tbh

 

[Meridio]

Right, it's bedtime. Colin 150 still on.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Points deducted for slow over rate to come.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

What a terrible first session. Last time at Lord's Devon got his 200 and all was good.

I’ve spent the last 12 months loudly proclaiming the superiority of the NZ cricket set up to England’s private schools and this happens.

Tbf 2 state school lads doing the damage.

Drop all private schoolers imo

 

[thierry henry]

Anyone got an example of a worst first session of a test series for me

 

[Aritro]

Has Athers had hair treatment? Or he might have shed some weight. He looks different anyway.

Effectively "drop English cricket" though isn't it?

Why are they interviewing Ben Stokes in the diary room at the Big Brother house?
