ENG in NZ - T20s & ODIs

[nitinbwj]

NZ pitches are a menace and they got lucky this series. First innings is almost impossible here. Had we played here and lost all the tosses,we wouldn't even have scored 150. Seam, swing, movement. Brooke and Lower order have provided such resistance. I wish NZ had lost the toss. Hate these tossiya matches. Same is happening in Aus

Another match where England bat first and are getting bowled out cheaply. Is it the new Kookaburras which are doing more or early season Nz pitches?

If Mitchell gets out it will become interesting. Poms have defended the score well.

Holy **** it's on. Mitchell was removed by Curran.

NZ so underrated.

Eng has disrespected the ODI format for far too long, deserve to miss direct qualification to 27 WC.

Both.

Think the same 4 teams as 23 WC will make the 27 SF.

 

Aus, Ind, RSA, NZ. Order may be different but don't see any other team challenging the top 4 spot. England's indifference to this format will bite them hard, never disrespect the sport. Others lack consistency.

They are not indifferent, just incapable.
