[Old Blue 2]

With a first innings lead of 226, we ahould have batter again and gave them 450+ to chase. Would not have lost. Blind Pugh could have seen that...

 

[Connor]

The follow on was the right call, the stats prove that.

But it didn’t work because we have an opener who has the same first class average as me, Root cooked our most in form batter, and we couldn’t resist playing the short ball to a team that wanted us to play the short ball

Ultimately a cracking test match that England should have won, but don’t mind losing to New Zealand anyway. Good lads for the most part, and they’re not the Aussies so

Games like that are good for the game. We had our fair share of luck against these anyways.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Great finish to a test match but the umpire missed a clear wide to level the scores

Umpires couldn't count the amount of runs from overthrows properly in the one day world cup final, swings and roundabouts, NZ deserved that.

They are going to have to go with either Pope or Bairstow as opener and accept its not their best position, but they will both score many more runs than Crawley top of the order

 

[cronullasharks]

Even by normal standards India have outdone themselves with the pitch they've dished up for this test

Stokes or Pope by the sounds of things

 

[Ivo]

Have our test and odi sides swapped? Really painful watching the dull odi cricket we're currently producing, I'd say since Buttler took over.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Great match winning knock by Malan

 

[Wizard]

Great innings from Roy and great start by Curran. Bangladesh 9-3 and he's taken all 3 wickets

Anyone know which channel it's on please?

Edit: Found it. Sky Sports Cricket - who would have thought lol

Very strange side England have gone with in this T20 versus Bangladesh. Only picking four batsmen has created a massive imbalance.

Still can't believe they aren't selecting Hales for white ball cricket.

Hales opted out of the tour to play PSL, he also wont make himself available for 50 over stuff
