First TEST: NZ v England

[smoker]

Scyde Berry was saying in the DT this morning that the coaching role should be split between limited overs cricket and Test cricket (something that has been suggested on here) .... but ........ Paul Collingwood should be given the job of Test Coach (NOT YET!!! WAIT UNTIL THE END OF SEASON!!!)

Also that some established player should be sacked to basically demonstrate that performing poorly has consequences (Moeen Ali) and Livingston brought in.

Not sure about taking it out on Ali, but the whole test set up needs a refresh.

 

[Bri]

Not sure about taking it out on Ali, but the whole test set up needs a refresh.

Basically, as he said, no runs and only 3 wickets this winter.

Kiwis batted for far too long . Too much being made of needing to keep bowlers fresh for first session under lights.

You are right. Still think NZ will win though

 

[LD19SAFC]

Well played Stoneman, kick on

FFS MAN

Idiotic from Stoneman

 

[TopCat]

FFS. Saving the game here, not chasing down a T20 score

 

[LD19SAFC]

Stoneman getting a good start and then getting out is becoming a regular occurrence.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Cook

Will Cook ever get to those heights again?

Idiotic from Stoneman

It's what he does. Lacks temperament.

 

[Monument View]

Idiotic
as per Hudson
Brainless to toss wicket away

 

[TopCat]

Too many in this England Team are unable or unwilling to do the hard yards and build an innings - too much white ball cricket?

 

[Brexit]

Stoneman getting a good start and then getting out is becoming a regular occurrence.

He's done it since he came through at Durham. Not exactly a surprise. He hasn't and never will learn.

 

[LD19SAFC]

Will Cook ever get to those heights again?

He’ll probably get 150 in the next test then return in the summer with single figure scores.

Always has though. Often made a lovely 30/40 at Durham only to chuck his wicket away with a stupid, needless shot
