England v NZ today.
A mixed of test,one day and T20.
Brilliant exciting spectacle.

Johnny Bairstow’s knock today has to be one of the best ever English batting displays

A great knock from JB.

He came in when it looked like we would struggle to save the game and turned it into a stroll in the park.

In contrast our national football team is not doing so well…

The cricket was unbelievable. The England footy team's humiliation was very satisfying....a nail in Southgate's managerial coffin.

McCullum and Stokes are doing great by relying on Northerners. Maybe Southgate should give it a try... Not a lot of grit in tonight's performance.

the main thing was that the game ended with a result and not a high scoring draw.

Yep, 0-4 is pretty conclusive.

Got tickets for the Sunday. After the first Test I was wondering if we'd even get a full day's play!

Should be another good contest as long as t'West Yorkshire weather holds up. NZ won't want to be whitewashed as world champions.
