If he’s not hit that it’s a bonkers review.

Edit: Hitting middle stump 2/3rds of the way up. What were the NZ batsmen thinking there?

I'm having that one.

No reviews for Kano and Ross. Silly boy.

Already seen Theresa May and Piers Moron, what’s not to like?

to be fair I don't think the atmosphere at any ground would be all that raucous at this time of the morning.

Yeah wasted review - yet again, how many times have we seen it in this tournament?

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #3847 on:** July 14, 2019, 11:17:44 am »

This is a great match up. Best batsman v best bowler in the tournament.

NINE slips in for Williamson.

It’s almost like it’s been a tactic to let the openers review anything and everything in the hope of getting away with something.

I don’t understand it if that is the case, I’m sure all teams used to be better at using their reviews than this.

Too many people feeling “entitled” to be there. I thought it was an ICC event rather than an ECB/MCC one, so I’ve no idea how the usual toffs and bores have blagged tickets.

That’s not all, there’s a chap in the members enclosure swigging directly from a can. Bad form.

Good analysis from Ian Bishop about the lengths Archer is bowling. Reckons he can go fuller and target the stumps more

Yup. I’d have much preferred, as I said, for it to have been Edgbaston or O.T, or Headingley. I understand why it’s at HQ, but for sheer atmosphere any of the others would have been better.

not seen anyone with the ridiculous mcc jacket on yet, but I'm sure there's one.

can't help but think archer should have worked that out from the reviewed one that was going over

Probably to your dismay yorky mate, I've never watched a game of cricket in my entire life. Never But even I'm tuning in, so I vote you're vote is the correct one.

Never too late John. I’m with my team.....watching in a pub in Sydenham.

Frank Becton · « **Reply #3870 on:** July 14, 2019, 11:45:52 am »

England not quite at their best yet, decent start for NZ who just about edge it at the moment. Archer not found his line and length yet.
Really hoped for more wickets down at this point in good bowling conditions.

Bowlers keeping it tight at the moment though, current run rate is 3.62.

Oh dear, Plunkett going at 7 an over.

Robinred · « **Reply #3873 on:** July 14, 2019, 11:50:46 am »

Plunk bowling poorly to be honest. I’m a fan but he needs to tighten it up.

Yosser0_0 · « **Reply #3874 on:** July 14, 2019, 11:51:08 am »

What can Wood do, just keep it tight please.

Elects to bat, then bats at Test Match pace. He's an unbelievable batsman but he's got to go big to make up for this start.

If he gets a big score it will have been worth it. Too early to dismiss his caution
