First TEST: NZ v England

[Mr Redknapp]

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

Or a big 200 against an average seam attack

 

[LD19SAFC]

Root looks excellent but that’s usually the case early on, need him to stay there.

 

[brandon]

Some things change, yet the majority stand still........... Stoneman out in the fifties and England struggling away from home.

 

[LD19SAFC]

Well played Root.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

That's very weak and poor from Root

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Another failure to convert by Root

 

[LD19SAFC]

Inevitable.

 

[Billy Rocket]

That looked painful.

 

[the dude]

Just watching the highlights. Why is the crowd so poor? There is hardly anyone there.

 

[The Rat]

missed all this due to the Australia crack, how have we been

 

[TopCat]

England are such a poor test team these days. Cook, Broad and Ali living on past glories sadly.

Broad around 80mph with no swing is no use as a threat. Could still be in as 4th seamer. Woakes just does not look that good to me,Ali should never of been an answer to any question in a test match. Cook is still going to be picked as our best option despite being finished as the up and comers are shit!

I’d give Roy a go me as stone man also ain’t the answer

 

[TwasOnTheFifthOfMay]

Avoided history

Omg

NZ had Australia 21/9 a few years ago too, and now us 23/8. That's two chances to wipe off their record low test score and failed. They'll be gutted.

 

[Silly Point]

Not the old Roy suggestion again. The bloke doesn't convince me in the one day stuff, supposedly his best format. No way is he a Test cricketer in a million years. The cupboard is bare, this is the best we have. Our problems run much deeper than a change of opener here and a different bowler there.

 

[jackpunch]

Why hasn't Sam Northeast ever had a look in. Always seems to get plenty of CC runs. We're fucked for openers mind, I think I'd give Lyth another shout, he looks best of a bad bunch. I know Cook got a double in Cheatsville this winter, but I'm starting to wonder if he can't be arsed anymore.

All at the Edd Sheeran concert, or thats what a lass I used to work with who lives over there told me

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Jason Roy ffs

 

[TheRey]

Johnny Bairstow may be a talented cricketer, but my God he can be as thick as two planks sometimes.

 

[Mainze]

I'd take a draw now tbh...

 

[nz joe]

The Kiwis miss McCullum as captain ,Williamson may be a top batsman but he's a very poor captain. Miles too conservative ,batted on too long and ignoring his legspinner. Astle has no confidence because he's been picked to do a job and his captain obviously doesn't rate him . Doesn't help that Sohdi the other legspinner plays for the same province as Williamson.
