Bishop Briggs Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 23 minutes ago, jaggyness said: Overton and Bairstow taking it to the Kiwis since tea Not quite as spectacular as trent Bridge but still huge fun to see. Overton will have the best batting avg of any England player after this innings Overton was extremely lucky that the Kiwis did not review the LBW howler from the umpire. Wagner was confident and he should have been given out. Bairstow was dropped on 27 by Wagner off his own bowling. Without those lucky breaks, England would have been in deep shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB1994 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Within 100 of New Zealand despite batting 64 over less is some going. Overton and Bairstow has been top class. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 264-6 at the close. 209 runs from the Bairstow and Overton partnership. Only 49 overs, run rate sitting at just under 5.4. This series is fucking nuts 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Didn't realise 'red ball reset' meant 'swing like f**k at everything'. It's different, at least. Anyone doing the Scotland ODI's at Mannofield? If the weather is like it was today then I'm getting the deckchair out and might even risk just wearing two layers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without those lucky breaks, England would have been in deep shit.Wagner absolutely wasn't confident. If anything it was him who talked them out of a review as he thought it was doing too much. I agree it was a poor decision though but England missed one on day one. A game of margins which makes it more exciting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Just watching the highlights now. Trent Boult’s bowling was ridiculous. Frankly, almost all of the England wickets were unplayable. Anderson would have had a field day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggyness Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 There is something immensely enjoyable about watching Stuart Broad when he's allowed to come in and throw his hands at everything. Never lasts long but a lot of fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Nearly 5.4 rpo and a total of 360 is pretty outrageous at test level. Never mind against the world test champions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Biggest plus for England this series has to be how Potts has performed. Not only has he taken wickets and threatened the outside edge consistenly, but he has been economical too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's all above board but it is very convenient that he's now tested covid positive and therefore able to be fully subbed, after having a bad back for which he'd still have to come out and bat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
