Get him in for Bairstow. It could be a possibility, especially as he would be playing in familiar surroundings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He`s visibly enjoying his cricket a lot more certainly. He was starting to look like a broken man towards the end and now looks about six inches taller. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah I think England's greater intent is getting on with it to try and bowl the Kiwi's out in time to give them a run chase, if its an extra 15 to chase but quicker then so be it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Gotta love the aggression and positivity. Cracking Test this, all three results still very possible. 1-0 down NZ are going to need to be aggressive with the bat, which should give England opportunities.

And Its Smith Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 England will be happy with this mornings batting. Scored quickly. Losing wickets pretty irrelevant. Only one team can win from here and it’s not NZ. Draw is the likely outcome obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 If they aren’t at least 3 down by tea then it’s a draw I reckon. Probably need 4 by then. Won’t be due another new ball until it’s too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see them bowling us out in one day on this pitch. Easy to bat on after 20 overs. I’d be very surprised if they set England 280 to win and 90 overs to do it in. Bookies have got NZ at 7/1 to win, clear outsiders and that must be because of time left in this match. If they win from here then fair play to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
