Ashes 2023

I increasingly think all home games that the Black Caps play against India should be at the Basin Reserve and Seddon park. If a greenish pitch can make them leave out Ashwin, the Basin pre-match might even convince them to leave out Jadeja too...

Second test starting tomorrow (Wednesday) from 9pm on TVNZ DUKE and TVNZ+
-
1 Zak Crawley, 2 Ben Duckett, 3 Ollie Pope, 4 Joe Root, 5 Harry Brook, 6 Ben Stokes (capt), 7 Jonny Bairstow (wk), 8 Stuart Broad, 9 Ollie Robinson, 10 Josh Tongue, 11 James Anderson
Josh Tongue replaces Ali.
Anyone know much about him? He’s played one Test against Ireland apparently

He took five wickets in that test.
But Ireland are shit.

Great toss for England to win.
Think Starc is the right call, on about a 55/45 balance. Boland is brilliant, but a fraction predictable for Bazball.
Kevin Pietersen rings the bell for the start of the day at Lords.
How good would he have been in the Bazball era ? Terrific player.

Just looked up... do we have some twat pitch invaders with orange paint?
Edit: Cricinfo says:
Broad from the Media centre end. Although there is a hold up. Two streakers have run on. With a orang powder paint. It's a Just Stop Oil protest. One has been tackled to the ground. He didn't get near a player. Jonny Bairstow ran the other one off the ground. Bairstow has left the ground to change as his whites have been soiled. The ground staff are out on the ground to clean up the paint residue. Broad and Warner are having a chat.

Definitely tell you all about it, too...
Just calm down @NTA. He’s a refreshing change from most poms.

Was at a winter coaching session on Sunday afternoon. Long story short, the model the particular pull shot technique was based on was Kevin Pietersen.
