No matter what, England gonna be defeated by Kiwis. I just don’t see much strength in their team. Don’t have a decent spinner, not much pace and struggling old players like cookie.. I’m sorry say to England fans but just mark my words, you won’t be able to win & your best bet is a draw. Even to attain draw you may need help from Almighty rain ☔️

Since you mention bets, why don't you get down the bookies and put your money where your mouth is?

Actually that looks a good shout! (Though I haven't checked the weather forecast.)

Moeen and Woakes have been dropped. Leach will surely come in and it's between Wood and Vince. I guess it will depend on Stokes and whether he can bowl or not.

I'd rather have given Livinsgtone a go than Vince. But the two bowlers might be better anyway, with a view to winning the game.

I know this meant to get some bites

Sadly, I agree with it

England red ball cricket is in transition but we’ll come again. The world revolves and all.

And NZ are not a bad outfit

Moeen's been dropped about 5 tests too late

Of-course NZ have a decent test team. Last time to my best recollection they played quite well when they toured England and I think the series was a draw 1-1?

U never disappoint me Liver with ur amazing cricket knowledge 😂

Anyway...however fackin shat we are...we're not in any danger of being in a worse state than the Aussies currently. ..

I see Lehmann has stepped off now - despite saying he wasn't. ..

Looks a lot longer tail without woakes and moeen. Harsh on woakes.

The tail started with Cook.

Cook is finished.

You just get the sense he's lost interest. If so, then yeah. End of the road.

U mean Cook is cooked?

Well that might just be close to honours even. Great work from JB and Wood. Leach sticking around was useful too.

They all came home for Xmas. Test players remained in England till Feb which includes Cook. Can’t really use that as an excuse.

Cricket karma always comes and bite. Since the kp saga played out, cook has had really bad tours as a batsmen. What is his average since that 2013 ashes?
