England cricket squad v N.Z.

NZ put on 80 for the eight wicket and still making progress.
 
NZ 391 all out now we shall see what the Oval is like as a surface.
 
England 169 for 3 oddschecker have England as favourites which is a surprise.
 

Stokes could return as captain for third Test against NZ - bbc​

 
Bad day for England. It started with the tactic of bowling short from which the Kiwis scored freely.
Bowling short has failed for England on numerous occasions but is persisted with nevertheless.
The lesson was rammed home when the NZ bowled a fuller length and put England in the trouble they’re now in.
The coach or Roots fault? NZ now favourites.
 
It's like watching an England pantomime.

oh, no it isn't

oh, yes it is


Where is my career ?

It's behind you !
 
Root has covered for Stokes on a match at a time basis.

He is not, sas he says, 'part of the Stokes-McCullum dynamic'.

He actually had to leave the field to find McCullum to change tactic with the short bowling attack being clobbered.

He must be praying to return to batting, just short of 14,000 runs in test cricket now.

Only 281 to get and five wickets left, should be a doddle. 🙂

14,000 runs for Root, only Tendulkar has more, he has 75 not out here.

😎
 
And Ben Stokes scored 95 for Durham. Maybe the rest has done him good - or he's laid off the booze a bit.
It never did Botham any harm it is possible that Stokes is trying to emulate the great man in all departments.
