3rd Test: England v New Zealand @ Leeds Jun 23-27, 2022

[TheParraboy]

Well a 3 test series worked a treat here


Poms getting docked for slow over rates

England docked two WTC points for maintaining slow over rate at Trent Bridge

In all they have lost 10 points to over-rate offences in the current WTC cycle

www.espncricinfo.com

England have been docked two World Test Championship (WTC) points and their players have been fined 40% of their match fee for maintaining a slow over rate in their epic win in the second Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge. This adds up to a total of 10 docked points for the side in this WTC cycle; they had lost eight points during the second Ashes Test in Brisbane last year.

yeah, we finally get a three test series, and produce this clusterf**k... very disappointing

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Lol, JJ acting as if the kiwis have been horrendous. Theyve been good matches, England have just been better.

 

[hineyrulz]

Both have been pretty good test matches.

To chase down 300 on the last day is a pretty good effort.

Our peak was the WTC Final in 2021. All downhill from here for a while.

Nice guys finish last.

not horrendous - but selections have been dumb - leaving out Wagner over and over hasn't been smart... obviously Latham isn't the great leader and player that Doull thinks he is, Williamson was a loss in both respects for test 2...

Just disappointed tbh, I think the side is better than this

 

[JJ]

Latham should be captain, coach and selector. Doull is a genius, just ask him

 

[JJ]

Another mediocre day, aside from big Dazza who’s going full Voges with his test career

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Jack Leach getting wickets like only he can.

That is an absolute peach of a delivery from Boult to send Crawley packing

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Cock knock from the skipper.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Attacking cricketainment from the poms, Baz mactactics doing the job here. Poms 5/55.

 

[edabomb]

Wagner a couple of wickets in his first over of the series. What a joke from Stead & co not selecting him - mind numbingly dumb selections have cost us this series. How could anyone prefer 1/100 Matty Henry to Wagner - I guess Henry is from Canterbury.

 

[jargan83]

Ben Stokes looks like a nerd in those sunnies

 

[JJ]

Test cricket is great

 

[edabomb]

Imagine thinking Michael Bracewell is a 4th bowler at test level. The self delusion is strong in our selectors.

Yeah, the selections have been atrocious, leaving out Wagner for Patel and Henry, then leaving out Patel for Bracewell.
We have had our chances, but those selections have been critical imo
