My issue is that our 4 man tail average about 1 per match just keep calm and let Stokes and Foakes knock them off the board 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) I am really enjoying this Baz ball. Bairstow has stopped the doubters, what an amazing innings. Took the game right away from New Zealand. Edited June 14, 2022 by PaulC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Yay ! No wins in nine and then two in a row (and against one of the good test nations) Improvement ! But was there still a batting collapse? I don't know... Does 53 for 1 to 93 for 4 count as a batting collapse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No really when in the 4th innings chasing a record total and in the third innings NZ were 136-4 so close in the graph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chappy Posted June 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2022 9 hours ago, theunderstudy said: Garbage batting yesterday morning, garbage bowling this morning which swung the game back to New Zealand and then this embarrassing capitulation this afternoon. Crawley should be straight out. Bairstow out of this side too but he'll be kept in as he's "the right face". Beyond a farce how we've dropped this game Incredible stuff this afternoon! Buzzing for those that went for free. Thought YJB spoke really well after the game, basically sticking up for Root when asked about how it must feel much better under the new regime. Definite shades of how we suddenly started going big in white ball cricket in 2015 in that post tea session. Im off to Amsterdam on Friday for the ODI, hope it’s anywhere near as exciting as today! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I never in a million years thought Stokes would be such a good captain. Just felt like echoes of Flintoff losing 5-0 down under. Didn't think he had the intelligence for it, thought he would be snowed under with batting, bowling and fielding responsibilities. But he just seems to have that aura around him, you can see how much all the other players look up to him, and how he is completely fearless in every situation. Will definitely come unstuck occasionally playing like this, but he acknowledged that in his post-match interview, and said it's all about being able to bounce back and win more often than not. A real breath of fresh air, and Root seems to really enjoy just being a batsman again. Lovely. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 "I'll say it simply. We were either winning this game or losing it," said Stokes. Absolutely love that quote BBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
