Wow.

 

[Fulford]

Great game and we've actually won a test series.

 

[astonion2]

What a game. 553 NZ first innings, what would have been the odds on that result.
Great days sport. Glad I was'nt at work.

 

[sirdennis]

Brilliant. Full house with free entry for all and fantastic cricket. That's how you attract people to watch sport.

There is quite a long article in the Daily Mirror about England.
Following their win at Trent Bridge against NZ they have been fined and had 2 WTC points deducted because of the slow over rate. They were 2 overs to slow in the allotted time.

 

[astonion2]

NZ already one down with no runs on the board yet.

They’re showing a replay of Ben Stokes’ legendary knock at Headingley a couple of years ago in the Ashes. Spine tingling, and even though we all know how it panned out, it‘s still nerve wracking - I’d forgotten how many risky twos they took.

Absolute class.

 

[The Fear]

Decent day so far for us... nice!

 

[JuanPabloAngel]

Check out Henry Nicholls’ wicket before tea if you’ve not seen it - mental, never seen anything like it

 

[The Fear]

Never seen anything like that wicket, wow!

 

[astonion2]

Of all the things I have seen in Cricket that has to be the strangest. What are the odds.

Getting a little tired of seeing Mitchell and Blundell on my TV…

Especially when we could have appealed and Mitchell would have been out on 7 (or was it 8?!)

Yes, we are still a little bit shit with our use of DRS!

 

[astonion2]

Gulp. Top 4 gone and not troubled the scorer much.

 

[sirdennis]

Is this a one day game ?

 

[astonion2]

Is this a one day game ?

55-6 now.

 

[The Fear]

Ouch.

I get the attacking philosophy, but surely Stokes (of all players?!) can adapt to the situation as well?

 

[Pride of Lions]

Back to normal I see.......

 

[JuanPabloAngel]

Excellent fight back from Bairstow and Overton. Superb on debut from Jamie
