Doesn’t really have any effect on how good or bad the England openers are, so not really sure what his point is.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

A lovely sound. A bit of luck at the end though.

And Rassie finishes with a cheeky reverse shot. The lovely sound of the wind being taken out 100 000 Indian fans' sales.

Miller is in great form. Want to see how Stubbs go.

This is not going so well for NZ. Even though Kane has been woefully out of form - I was looking forward to seeing him get his mojo back.
Will Wagner be back in the side? I hope so.

Decent crowd at Lord's last night but not close to full. Hard to pinpoint the exact cause, be it The Hundred, cost of living, wfh, time of year etc. Probably a combination of all of the above, but no hiding T20 crowds are down this year.
Lord's felt out to rip you off - terrible service and stewarding, no booze allowed in anymore, hard to get any food for under £15 and they've put up the price of a pint by 20% from last year. Won't help get people through the door.

Hmmmm. NZ at lunch 108/2 - 4 an over nice - Young got a good delivery from Stokes to get out - and then next ball from Anderson Latham spunks a rank long hop to midwicket to be caught well by golden boy Potts.
Disappointing that Latham lost his head.......but at least it is better than 102-9.

Nice to see Potts attempting to cheat on his 2nd outing in Test cricket

As soon as the ball starts moving around the Kiwi's are all at sea.
From a position of power to hanging on in the space of 15 overs.

Awesome fight shown. Had the chance to get out of hand with 2 in 2 and then Conway and Nicholls falling - but Blundell and Mitchell to the rescue again.
Anything over 400 would be magical.

Twice they lost two wickets in quick succession and both times the new batsmen steadied the ship very well, Mitchell and Blundell in particular.Thor Sedan wrote: ↑Fri Jun 10, 2022 2:02 pm As soon as the ball starts moving around the Kiwi's are all at sea.

Looks like a bit of a batters dream doesn't it?
Not doing much off the pitch and fast outfield.

Obvious England will prepare a flat deck. Hope the BCs have decent spin

Shame that Mitchell is going to miss a chance to get to his 200.
Irony, it was him who denied Boult and not the other way around.Thor Sedan wrote: ↑Sat Jun 11, 2022 3:36 pm Shame that Mitchell is going to miss a chance to get to his 200.

This is true. Selfish stuff by Mitchell. Obviously not a team player.Ymx wrote: ↑Sat Jun 11, 2022 4:09 pmIrony, it was him who denied Boult and not the other way around.Thor Sedan wrote: ↑Sat Jun 11, 2022 3:36 pm Shame that Mitchell is going to miss a chance to get to his 200.
