Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final

I don't get the criticism of England here. You have to play the cards you are dealt and that England batting order is very inexperienced and four guys were sitting on a pair. With Butler and Stokes fair enough, but here it would have been a fools errand - our strong suit against their weakest.

Robinson suspended by the England Cricket team and won't play in the Second Test

Well Conway and Southee were brilliant at least.....
Who comes in for Santner next test ? He stunk out the joint....CDGH wasn’t much better but I’m sure he’ll be safe.
Someone make way for Trent. Stead can piss off if he thinks he won't select him

Boult made himself available, contradicting Stead. Clearly their communication could be better

Matt is a pie chucker. We may need a spinner in the final and Mitch has the inside running. So if Boult doesn't play they may front with the same team

Both are unattractive options but yeah, part rounder Santner probably gets in again by default

Ajaz and Boult in for CDG and Satnav for Edgbaston please
Ajaz is definitely the more attacking spin option, and Mitch's batting isn't exactly standing out right now. Buy I just don't see Stead or whoever is selecting the team changing now

Test cricket will die one day due to low audience numbers. Remember this match when that happens.
Weak as piss England. A pox on the lot of you!
Na, I don’t think this at all. Sure this test was a bit dogshit but a whole day being lost was a huge part of there being no result. I believe we woulda definitely had a winner with that extra day. Probably us, our team is better than theirs.
In other news Wisden tells me Tim Southee has taken 100 test wickets at 21.91 since the start of 2018. Fucken oustanding especially when you consider Trent Boult is usually regarded as the ‘better’ bowler.

How can you pick Santner for the WTC final if he just bowled on a fifth day wicket on a the same track against a worse batting order and offered two fifths of fuck all? Not that CdG is much better - but it surely has to be a four-prong pace attack for the final.

CDGH has test numbers pretty comparable to Ben Stokes which is kinda hilarious.
Santner is the kind of guy who needs to step up with the bat if he bowls with no threat. Which he seems to do every game. A duck last dig certainly doesn’t help matters. Both these guys are obvious weak points in an otherwise immensely strong team.

Mitch is a nothing selection. Shows no ambition whatsoever. If we pick a spinner it has to be someone who can take wickets. Otherwise why bother? Might as well take CDG or another slow medium all rounder who can bat better and to work through a few garbage overs

Gary Stead needs to read the fern cos I’m sick of us all posting this every season and nothing changing.
