Strange they didn't appoint the coach before they selected the touring squads. You would have thought he might like to have some say in who plays in his team.

He might have had some input as he was already in place as bowling coach.

New Zealand v England first test now underway.

Could be a close series.

Can England get to 400? Will Stokes make that ton and Pope his first fifty?

Whatever the score I guess we will know how well we did when New Zealand bat.

The problem is we can’t bat. Denly is the only one in the top 6 that got a ball that did a bit. The other 5 all got themselves out to balls they shouldn’t have played, very poor shots or a combination of both. It appears to be a forgotten art of batting with discipline.
I was a big advocate of Sibley. He reminds me a lot of Jonathan Trott. However he needs to work out where his off stump is and learn to leave the ball appropriately. He also needs to learn to drop the ball into gaps and rotate the strike, as it didn't take NZ long to work him out. Otherwise he will have an extremely short test career.
All in all it was a very dull test match to watch with a very predictable outcome.

We're not playing test cricket. Joe Root does not understand test captaincy.

Over rated and over paid....not just Root but the whole English test side.

The ECB have been over pricing it's product to loyal fans for some time now.

It's an attritional game, you build pressure, you don't take a swing like it's a 20 20, these one dayers can't play the game. Where the skipper had Jofra Archer bowling was ridiculous and he didn't change.

Root needs to get back to scoring runs. He is a poor captain who certainly does not bring the best out of those around him. Trouble is what are the alternatives. Burns, Denly and perhaps Broad - none of which are guaranteed their place long term. I would not want to give it to Stokes as he is our best player at the moment. If he lost form then god help us. The cupboard is pretty bare.

Ever since Root hit puberty he’s not been the same.
