[Cricket] The Red Ball Reset: Eng v NZ 2nd Test

[pasty]

That was funny, Mitchell just hit a six that went straight into someone's pint. Beer everywhere. Will the ball reverse now!?

That reminds me to be extra vigilant tonight at Hove

Good job it wasn’t Guinness, or Mitchell would have been stOUT.

300 up, inserting the Kiwis not the best decision. Could be chasing 450 plus?

For quite a while Trent Bridge was a batting paradise, its going to get easier to score in the next 2-3 days....we should be ok for the draw from here.

This is top drawer punning.

NZ shaded day one, had we come out with a wicket with the new ball would have been even, just slightly dissapointed at the rate NZ have been able to score at. Early inroads in the morning and it's game on.

Have you seen us bat much in recent years?

Come on England, early wickets are the order of the day. Some encouraging early swing.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Stokes first big boo-boo as captain out the way at least.

Given NZ were put into bat, they scorched the first day. If you put someone in, you have to bowl them out for under 200.

Which we didn't

I’m generally assuming Crodo’s posts are tongue-in-cheek…

As ever Paul Calf has a concise and well considered view on the day.

They will get 500+ we will be all out for under 300 or even 200. NZ win by an innings. Catches win matches yet again.
Edit 600+

Lol! Reality shortfall?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

This is going really well (not).

What's the biggest score of a team being put in? Something over 700 by Australia in 1954, or is there something bigger?

 

[Is it PotG?]

Here we go.

I say 3 down by the close.

This wicket is going to turn out to be unplayable.

Crawley gets a snorter.

Bye bye Zak.

6/1.

Moeen Ali not impressed.

'He'll be disappointed with that'.
