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

[Lord]

has missing Ben Chokes narrative already started?

[vvvslaxman]

This is a massive test for Bethell. He is not exactly doing well with bat. Alistair cook might troll KP if he fails again :)

Rachin has this typical subcontineintal more specifically Indian syndrome of trying to pull a bouncer that is outside the off stump to leg side. Jaiswal, Vaibhav, Padikkal, Tilak, Abhishek.  almost all these players have this habit of committing to this low percentage shot.

He is very similar to Indian players, avg against short balls, pull and hook shots, avg fielder and poor catcher.

If Newzealand bat most of day today, weather and pitch will ensure England looses this test

This is a road wicket. This could end in a draw.

[vvvslaxman]

Harry brook may make a fast 100 here

[putrevus]

Ben Stokes proving his value again, if this guy is fit he still is very elite.

 

Without his bowling India would have won last year with utmost ease.

[Lone Wolf]

Stokes Outta nowhere brought England back in the game.

Perfect track to BazBall.

 

Dare I say Poms will miss Crawley here.

Stokes is playing a fast bowling allrounder role which is very taxing, we have seen guys like Pandya run away from even odis and become 4 over champions.

 

He can block one end up against any side on almost any wicket without giving too many runs.He will always be counted as better allrounder than guys like Jadeja.

 

I love Jadeja but he is not in same level as this guy.He has literally dragged his team back into the game by himself.

What all rounder. He never bowls much in sub continent or in aussie land. Its easy to be a bowler in english conditions. Pansy would run away from bowling duties everytime in india

This pitch has become quicker.

Sears Tickner O Rourke Smith,  this is a phaaastish attack

NZ pace attack is good yaar.. I already feel bad for our guys on those snake pits they will dish out

NZ went from 317/0 to 438 AO.  

[putrevus]

NZ would have scored 600 plus if it was against Indian fast bowlers after their opening stand.

[KV244]

Eng 165 for 1

[putrevus]

Only team with strong captain can make comeback like this in a test match. Stokes has proved his value in gold by bringing back his team from nowhere both by his bowling and captaincy.
