Btay Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 Really enjoying England under mcculum as coach. Playing with some real intent. Bairstow has had a blinder with the bat last 2 knocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 Hit that brick wall again, going to take some real heroics to win this one now. NZ likely to be very nervy about what to set us though if they get into a position to declare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 England beating NZ and cricket becomes the main headline article on the BBC Sports page. Today, I went there to see how England are doing against India, and there's nothing there. Obvious conclusion: India must be wiping the floor with them. Searching more, sure enough: England are being thrashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your regular erroneous protestations of English bias on the BBC have been disproven time and again Steve, maybe time to call it a day eh? This is among three stories about the test match currently on the front page in fact. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/62021215 Oh, and there were rugby union tests, the Tour de France and the British grand prix going on at the same time.

That team isn't much different to the one Morgan led to number 1, so try again. Buttler (and maybe the new coach) is the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
