DA-go Par Adonis Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) I backed NZ at evens yesterday when England were 40/1. One win in 16 tests, incapable of putting a score on the board and against one of the top two sides in the world. I've definitely caused this one.

DA-go Par Adonis Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) That was their score in the 2nd innings. They were at 10/11 odds-wise. I've tidied up the original post, which was missing a word and didn't make sense! Edited June 5, 2022 by DA-go Par Adonis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tidied up the original post, which was missing a word and didn't make sense! Makes a bit more sense but England were never 40/1. The second wicket fell after 32 or 33. Hence my confusion.

DA-go Par Adonis Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 They were 1 down when I backed NZ, so it must have been 30/1 or thereabouts in that case. Looked like a formality once the 4th wicket fell relatively cheaply. Maybe Root removing himself/being relieved of the captaincy might work well for the team.

SanguinePar Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Don't know what the odds were, but I considered backing them when Stokes fell, as at that point they looked set for total collapse. Nice to see Root looking a bit happier after the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Soze Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Set up very nicely at Trent Bridge on day 5. England chasing 299 for the win. Time not on their side though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England off like a train in this final innings, but Crawley has (of course) rather spoiled that. All down to Pope and Root I guess. Can't see a NZ win though.

Refreshing to see England have a proper go though and that’s definitely down to Stokes. Fascinating contest on what looked like a certain draw after two 500+ innings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZ bowlers not really convincing though, other than Boult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
