@voodoo said in Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final:
Forgive my ignorance, but is this a best of 3 series?
NZH suggests it's 2. Lord's and Edgbaston. So I don't understand, the final has been moved from Lord's to Southampton, but we are playing the first test at Lord's???

@voodoo as far as I know, this series was only organised after we got into the final. I think we owe the poms much gratitude for tagging this into their summer which has SL, Pak and India jammed in.
A fine piece of administration from both countries is how i interpret it.Thanks England, India will be rather rusty i think. Nice to get the rub for once

As I mentioned earlier we are batting really deep ( always nice to have century makers at 7 and 8 and extremely capable tail enders ) but I’m a tad concerned about the balance of the team and the threat we lose with Boult not being there. Big workload coming up for our three main seamers me thinks.

New Zealand pace spearhead Trent Boult is hoping to make his international return for the second Test against England but may have work to do to convince coach Gary Stead.
Left-armer Boult is set to arrive in England on Friday, having returned home to quarantine and spend time with family after the Indian Premier League's suspension.
"Everything is feeling good with what lies ahead, a big stage for the World Test Championship final, and hopefully I can get over there and be part of that second Test as well," Boult told New Zealand media on
It'd be nice for him to have a roll before Southampton
