Broad got hit badly on his head a few years ago and can’t fully get inline with the ball anymore.

Pope should be contributing more too.

Sibley, Burns, Crawley and Pope all average under 35.

They hardly play any ’proper’ cricket so it’s not really surprising! All the IPL lads are being ‘rested’ but the IPL has been postponed for over a month and none of the English players are going back. Meanwhile NZ are at full strength, have been practising and playing firsts against seconds last week. We are always undercooked for the first test of a series and it’s getting comical now.

If I were new Zealand I'd blitz tonight declare and get us in tomorrow.
Realistically they are waiting for the test championship so they could just shake hands now.

Root won’t be able to tell for sure. He’s at the mercy of the bowler and the keeper. Anderson let him down on that review.

From second slip, where he can’t see the ball pitch?

why not listen to the call from empire and take it as being right ?

The umpire says out or not out. He does not explain why.

Using your method makes reviews irrelevant as you’d always go with the umpire’s decision.
