New Zealand Tour of England - 2022

[Ed Smith]

Same. Feels a bit rough for Parkinson who didn't especially do anything wrong

Feels like the standard treatment for him tbh. Guys always carrying drinks

No arguments with that.

On the other hand, this general approach from Stokes, McCullum and Key seems disappointingly sensible. You see those three names and think that they might parachute in Tom Banton to bat at six for the second Test because Key had a hunch. Instead their approach seems to be "Leach was our first-choice spinner last week, Leach is also our first-choice spinner this week."

It's sad

I’m on Leach’s side here. He is the incumbent and Parkinson, as much potential as he does possess hadn’t done enough in the first test to dislodge him if the former is fit.

Probably feel like Parkinson’s true time to shine will come in an Asian test.

Nah, Mooen will come out of Test retirement and they’ll pick him for the batting

Funny part is I can see this happening and there would be no surprises.

Sir Ben Stokes to the rescue. What would England do without him?

Just saw Stokes having a cracking laughter after Mitchell smashed Leach.

 

[Ed Smith]

Superb toss to win...

 

[Aislabie]

Williamson is out after a covid test.

They looked stronger without him tbh

The Kiwis are well and truly on top in this game unless England bats their skin out.

Sure about that?

 

[wasteyouryouth]

England should take more wickets.

So unfortunate was Daryl Mitchell to miss that magical figures by just 10 runs!
