Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final

[canefan]

150 to Devon. Looks chilled

[Siam]

Fun fact: we made 523 in the first dig last time we played at lords. Good eh?

We lost by 124 runs...

[Siam]

Poms have got the best coverage and commentary in the game. End of.🙂

I’m struggling to see the “fun” part of this fact.

[Siam]

@mn5 that's why you don't talk up like a shackle dragger 😉

[Godder]

Apparently this is now the highest test debut score against England in England - the old record dated back to 1898 (if I heard the commentary right).

[canefan]

Wow, effortless checked drive by Conway down the ground

You could try vipboxtv as well. If you are willing to work through all the pop ups

Boo. Nicholls gone.

[canefan]

England essentially have a 4 prong attack, with Root filling in as a 5th. They will have a tough time over the 5 days

[sparky]

Wicket. Nicholls out for 61. 286/4 Caught by Robinson at fine leg off Wood. More bounce than he was expecting.

[No Quarter]

@mn5 can wear that wicket.

[Siam]

@canefan much prefer playing them sans stokes and archer

[Siam]

A bit naff from Nicholls. Not sure if that shot is a strength of his. Good bouncer though

[sparky]

Of the 9 best batting averages in this game, eight are from New Zealand batsman and the other belongs to Joe Root. Devon Conway is 164 not out in his first test innings so he doesn't have a test average yet.

[Godder]

CDG has the highest SR of current test players and has had since his debut. The English commentary I'm listening to really rates the NZ batting line up including Southee's ability to score quickly.

I am hoping if we're still batting last session of today there could be some big hitting fireworks

Bugger

[No Quarter]

We are going to want at least 400 here, still a lot of work to do
