The Cricket Thread

For out field players, yes. But there's always been leeway with wicket-keepers. If the opposition captain allowed it, a team was allowed to replace their wicket keeper pre- the days of covid or concussions subs. It's just that they weren't allowed to bat (which they can do as a covid or concussion sub).

 

Right, thanks.

 

Looked pretty plumb

 

Nice!

 

Boom!

 

Double Dutchie!!!...

 

Five half-shouts in Dawson's first two overs, in the first session of the match, isn't great to see. Suggests that Harmer could have some fun later. (And given their need for wins, it would make sense if they've prepared something to suit Harmer.)

 

That was important. Get Harmer early, and the tail could go quickly thereafter.

 

Peach of a ball there.

 

Great over from Potts to get rid of Mitchell.
Been a few near misses with catches dissecting the keeper and slip

 

BOOM!

 

WTF is this from Wheal? Shocking bowling.

 

Needed that.

 

England need 296 to win. First 10 wicket haul for Leach.

 

Good to see Sam Billings getting a wicket, albeit a catch between his knees!

 

Silly run out England.

 

New Zealand querying the ball after just 7 overs.
They made of putty these days?

 

Fair play to Snater that was a good innings.

 

Organ should not be in the team.

 

NZ waste two LBW reviews in two balls when Root was so clearly outside the line even I could see it.
