  • Bairstow playing five day tests like one dayers.

    Lets see how they do on their next foray abroad.

      That series was almost not like proper mannies cricket. Enjoyable though.

      England become the first team in test history to chase down more than 250 three innings in a row.

      • Yes. 55 for 6 in first innings.
        Did New Zealand let that slip or was Bairstow unplayable?

        • It’s just getting silly now. Test cricket like I have never seen in my puff.

          The batting averages of Root and Bairstow this year must be crazy.

            Just a pity the Aussies are not here this year as would have been great to see Bairstow in particular against them

            • Well done to them.
              I'm looking forward to their approach to pitches abroad.

                  You're missing Boycott's swashbuckling style, aren't you?

                    No, I just think that there aren't any great players left.

                    • He may not have been a good captain but Root is a hell of a player imho.

                      • I love the English arrogance:
                        "England v South Africa: Ben Stokes says tourists are 'doing a lot of talking'"
                        England captain Ben Stokes says South Africa "seem to be doing a lot of talking" before the first Test at Lord's begins on Wednesday.


                        England v South Africa: Hosts lose by innings on third day at Lord's
                        England are blown away to lose the first Test against South Africa by an innings inside three days at Lord's.


                        You've been in England too long Stokes
                        Away back home and learn to let your play do the talking.

                        • Great century Stokesy

                          England lead by 166 with 5 wickets in hand, in control at Old Trafford

                            • A good test match. The 3rd Test should be a cracker.

                                Hope so, I would just settle for a close test match tbh. Blowouts are ok but nothing beats a close test that goes the full 5 days, especially when the series is on the line.
