NZ tour of England | 3 tests | Lord's , Oval, Trent Bridge | June 04 - June 29

If Kiwis win in Eng as well, after the 3-0 in India, what an incredible achievement that will be. They also started Pak cricket decline with their series win in UAE. Truly a golden generation for them, and no signs of slowing down. 

 

@Lone Wolf I think the NZ-Aus 4 test series in Aus later this year will be exciting. Very tough season for Aussies coming up, tour to RSA, then this NZ one followed by away BGT and away Ashes. This old Aussie squad will find the schedule unforgiving.

If Kiwis end up blanking us 2-0 yet again (which honestly looks v likely). I sense they can win a test or two against Aussies as well.

If they win tomorrow and blank us 2-0, they have a great shot at WTC final spot. Lag raha hai aise hi kuch hoga, Aussies will lose steam and it will be RSA-NZ final this time.

Why was that clown Bashir celebrating like he took a match winning fifer after taking the wicket of Rachin?

 

That's his level.

Even some WI guys have turned pro in baseball. Minor league.

Meerkat needs an attitude adjustment session with Vaibhav. 

 

Jaiswal gave him belt treatment in 24 home series, but apparently not enough.

Poms haven't lost a series (>2 tests) since 2012. SL (2014), NZ (2021) beat them in 2 test series. Many drawn series in between, against Ind, Aus, Pak, NZ...

ironically the 'look at me' move would have been to let the excitement build overnight with him still to come in on day 5

Why did he open, what was he trying to prove?

Why did Stokes open?

So that he don’t have to come and bat tomorrow under hangover. He will be drinking tonight like there is no tomorrow.

 

Whole English team is batting like bunch of jokers

@Nikhil_cric you still think Aus-NZ will be a blowout?

Yep. I still think it will be one 

[Chalks]

NZ are Australia's bitches in men's and women's cricket, the exact reverse of rugby union (where Wallabies haven't won the Bledisloe Cup since 2002, and Wallaroos have never beaten the Black Ferns (never gotten close, in fact)).

And got out to filthy slog. Only English cricket tolerates that

No chance that is anything other than a comprehensive whitewash.

@rollingstoned our 2-2 draw in Eng doesn't look that impressive in hindsight. Eng is a clown team led by a clown management which treats test cricket like some joke.

All this is with benefit of hindsight as everyone thought we will get beat before last yrs series.

If you think Kiwis are a good team you can't think Poms are a bunch of bums, they beat them at home.

Reckon English side we faced was tad more stronger than the one these Kiwis are facing.

 

Especially the second test last week Poms were severely handicapped.

 

NZ too have been injury hit in this game.. so nothing can be taken away from them as well.

The fast bowling depth they have is seriously impressive.

Some really tough characters in that XI.

 

Poms can't wait for this series to get over.  They have made mockery of this test overall and disrespected their opponents in the process as well.
