England's new era of cricket

[Brussels Bureaucrat]

...has started brilliantly. New Zealand 39/6 at lunch on Day 1. Matty Potts 3-8 on debut.

 

[PL2 3DQ]

Great innit. And great to see a pretty full cricket ground once again.

England unrecognisable from the shambles of the last two series (apart from Crawley nicking off while driving, of course).

Would love to see Ollie Pope book in for bed and breakfast here, there's a big score waiting for someone.

But not for Pope sadly.

 

[Brussels Bureaucrat]

Bit of a collapse here. Maybe we aren't so unrecognisable after all.

 

[Brussels Bureaucrat]

This is absurd. 100/7.

New management, new coach, new captain, same old collapse.

 

[Bernie Bernbaum]

New era....you gotta laugh.

New era:

[Bernie Bernbaum]

New coach and management but the batting line up is essentially the same.

Never, ever think that it’s game over, until you have 20 wickets in your back pocket.

 

[Balham Green]

17 wickets in 1 day. Shows yet again the consequences of 1 day cricket
