What kind of comment could it be that NZers don't recognise as racial?
The 'show us your passport' type stuff, I guess?

Because just cos you're black doesn't mean you can't be British. The implication being BAME people aren't Brits.

With Archer though, he became eligible after a rule change on residency cutting his time to qualify from 7 to 3 years. He has a UK Passport but only arrived in the UK after turning 18. He will be under scrutiny as a 'ring in' because of that.
Using racist terms to convey that scrutiny isn't the way to do it though. -

John Mitchell's son comes into the team with Ferguson
Is Mitch Jr. a good enough bowler at test level to be a like-for-like replacement for Colin?
I'd have thought Jimmy Neesham might have been further up the queue.

I took a guess that he meant Black And Mixed Ethnicity.
Could be wrong though. I've not seen the term before.

A number of terms have been used, by government and more generally, to refer to the collective ethnic minority population. These include "black and minority ethnic" (BME), "black, Asian and minority ethnic" (BAME) and "black and ethnic minority" (BEM) -

Have my doubts re Mitchell. I just assumed Neesham was injured again.

I know it would upset our bowling plans but I'd be tempted to bring in Ferg for Boult and Young for De Grandhomme.
Especially if there are signs that the Hamilton pitch might turn, and Kane can take on the role of second spinner to further reduce the workload of our the seamers.

Northern Districts allrounder Daryl Mitchell has been confirmed to make his Black Caps test debut at Hamilton on Thursday.
Ross Taylor said at a press conference on Thursday that Mitchell - the son of former All Blacks coach John Mitchell - will be part of the New Zealand XI to face England in the second test. Mitchell was called into the squad this week following an abdominal injury to Colin de Grandhomme suffered late in the first test victory in Mount Maunganui.
A decision has yet to be made on who will replace injured pace bowler Trent Boult in the XI for the second and final test in the series. With Mitchell's inclusion confirmed, it will come down to a choice between swing bowler Matt Henry and quick Lockie Ferguson.

Young isn't available, hasn't played yet this season.
Sigh, stupid facts getting in the way of a good plan.
Darryl Mitchell feels like a nothing selection. No disrespect to the guy, but I'm not convinced he's good enough at either discipline to play test cricket.
About three years ago a was saying the same thing about Colin de Grandhomme though, so here's hoping the selectors are right again.

@SynicBast said in Cricket: NZ vs England:
Watling gets rated at 693 for his 205 against England attack while Stokes gets a rating of 704 for his 91. I guess strength of opposing attack and home ground really is a huge factor there
The ratings are based on more than just the last innings. So his 91 presumably boosted his rating less than Watling's 205 boosted his.
