O/T An England Team Worth Watching

[LincsMiller]

I’m talking about the England cricket team of course. Chasing a colossal score by New Zealand they have bucked the trend of not being able to bat for a full day and with Root still at the crease the match is balanced nicely. Also well done Pope with his second test 100. Only slight niggle is Ben Stokes cavalier batting, playing as though every game is limited overs, sometimes it will come off but with todays wicket being perfect for batting I think he could have batted with more control.

True, but dropped catches was the reason New Zealand posted a colossal score

[pip_y]

NZ dropped a few too

[LincsMiller]

What a great game to attend for free…

Think McCullum is definitely having an effect…

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

Yes, a change of manager sometimes works

If you are a bit short on the feel good factor, tune in to BBC iplayer and watch Jonnie Bairstows innings on day 5 at Nottingham .

Can't watch cricket now one day mostly players in test cricket. Well done Laura Muir gold European championships.

Today's performance was clown cricket at its best.

The England team need to repeat 100 times " this is a 5 day test match"

Even then the lure of the golf course would win
