Re: Eng Vs NZ 2nd test
When Wood is playing the ramp shot you know his confidence is up, be a few 90 mph balls being sent down when he has a bowl later

Re: Eng Vs NZ 2nd test
Exactly the start England needed this morning, stand now worth over 60, and it's completely changed the game's momentum.

Re: Eng Vs NZ 2nd test
Looks far easier to bat when someone is playing shots and putting the pressure back on the bowlers.
I know there's less pressure on the likes of Wood but a great innings with some super shots.

Re: Eng Vs NZ 2nd test
303 all out, not brilliant, but an awful lot more than looked likely at 175-6. Now over to Jimmy & co to see what they can do with the ball.

Genuine question. What are the lyrics that the England fans are singing to the tune that we used to sing about Stephen Defour?

Re: Eng Vs NZ 2nd test
Hmm! NZ currently putting England's total into perspective, 126-1 with Conway & Young well set, the only wicket thus far was for Broad early on, but since that breakthrough it's been a tough slog for England's bowlers.

Re: Eng Vs NZ 2nd test
New Zealand's day by a big margin, and a frustrating toil in the field for England, but they only have themselves to blame,
Root dropped a dolly and England arguably didn't get the rub of the green with the Crawley catch which did appear to have carried, but that's clutching at straws.
It summed England's day up that even Jimmy had an LBW shout overturned by DRS, Lawrence added to his success with the late bonus wicket of Young, but he'll be the only England player to be happy with his work in this test.

Re: Eng Vs NZ 2nd test
I've got to hold my hand up and say I didn't realise how good NZ were. I thought they were a decent side with a world class bowler in Boult.
But they have such depth in the squad which NZ have probably never had for such a small nation.
So many swing bowlers and in form batters. No.1 in the world for a good reason.

England just can’t help themselves outside off stump.
Re: Eng Vs NZ 2nd test
Sibley and Crawley at the crease doesn’t fill me with confidence…will probably be about 4 wickets down by the time the scores are level

You cannot win tests without your openers hanging around for more than 10 minutes.

18 for 2, one of the weaker England batting line ups in the past few years.

India are the top ranked Test playing nation with NZ lying a close second.
There are no ranking points at stake in these 2 Tests.

Re: Eng Vs NZ 2nd test
Sibley soon chaanged that though. Was it a ruse to boost your confidence?
Crawley just doesn't seem to know where his off stump is ---he keeps hanging the bat out and it will just be a matter of time ---sadly!

And off Crawley goes.
They’d be better picking John Crawley at the moment.

Yet another shambolic attempt at test match batting from England. 58/5 and this could be wrapped up tonight the way wickets are tumbling.

Not all of the Clowns at Edgbaston are sitting in the crowd
Note that not a single member of the expert Sky pundits dared to suggest England would be all out before knocking off the 85 run deficit.

Re: Eng Vs NZ 2nd test
71 for 6 on a flat pitch. Woeful. Take a good look at Bracey as I suspect this is the last we'll see of him!

I said on here further up that in my 65 years of watching test cricket this is the worst batting line up I have ever seen in England shirts. Root apart, there is not a test match class batsman amongst them. Roll on the Ashes.

Such a worrying lack of ability in this batting line up aside from Root and Stokes.

Re: Eng Vs NZ 2nd test
Having a week away in my caravan so thankfully can't get the cricket on sky.
Must admit I've never heard of Bracey, so googled him.....still never heard of him. English cricket must be in a poor state if this lad is one of the best. ( Come on lad prove me wrong)

Re: Eng Vs NZ 2nd test
He looked sadly out of touch this afternoon but batting in a side with so many players who I simply not good enough.
