A thread for the England cricket summer of 2022.

England play 3 test matches against New Zealand.

3 ODI series with the Netherlands.

The postponed 5th test match with India and 3 T20's and 3 ODI's.

Finally they face South Afrrica in 3 T20's, 3 ODI's and 3 Test Matches.

Opening day against New Zealand with the start of the Stokes/McCullum era and it couldn't have gone better for them reducing New Zealand to 39-6 at lunch.

Anderson, Broad and Potts have been superb and haven't given New Zealand much at all. The only blemish being Jack Leach who in trying to stop a boundary landed on the back of his neck and having had tests has been ruled out with concussion.

Thankfully the rules in cricket have now changed and Matt Parkinson will replace him.

57/7… only tuning in but Christ, for as well as England have bowled my predictions on how poor this New Zealand lineup are, are sadly coming true…. I was crossing my fingers for something of a competitive series … hmmm

Strumms · 02-06-2022 2:23pm

England might have started to get a little twitchy about this partnership as runs we’re starting to flow a bit but Southee departs for a nifty 26 pulling it to deep fine leg… Patel doesn’t have the most impressive pedigree with the bat so can’t see much more wag in the tail.

but is De Grandhomme can take most of the strike they might put on another 50..

VillaMad · 02-06-2022 4:47pm

England lose Crawley who nicks off after a well made 43, but they are well in command.

Pope in at 3 now and although his talent is proven at county level, he has been pretty poor at Test level. Looks like however he goes, Stokes will give him a number of chances at 3.

Strumms · 02-06-2022 5:29pm

Pope comes in at 3 scores 7 off 27 and departs to the sort of shot Jimmy Anderson would cringe at. 75/2

VillaMad · 02-06-2022 5:44pm

Just bowl at 4th or 5th stump and he is trouble.

His scores at County level are brilliant but everytime I see him at test level he just looks like a fish out of water. Might be another Mark Ramprakash or Graeme Hick who simply couldn't hack it at international level.

yes, that step up isn’t attainable for everyone..but to put him in there averaging just 28.6.. hmmmmm

great catch by Southee but Root won’t relive that shot with much fondnesses…

One or two more wickets before stumps and NZ are right back in this.

Strumms · 02-06-2022 5:58pm

Root and Lees both depart quickly… both to awful shots…

Xander10 · 02-06-2022 6:57pm

Having watched some of NZs batting effort, I thought this game was dead in the water.

Some collapse by England again.

Xander10 · 03-06-2022 11:40am

Did take much to take the tailenders. A lead of 9 for England.

Strumms · 03-06-2022 12:06pm

3 England batsmen get double figures.

last 7 batsmen score a total of 44 runs between them.

disasterous.

Strumms · 03-06-2022 12:58pm

Positive start by England, having New Zealand 36-3… England will be hopeful of chasing 200 or less..

Xander10 · 03-06-2022 1:09pm

Potts debut has been the only stand out so far.

VillaMad · 17-06-2022 11:20am

England playing their first ODI for 11 months today against the Netherlands in a 3 match series as part of the World Cup Super League.

None of the test team involved for England and they lost Roy early when he was bowled by his cousin Shane Snater.

Since then Malan and Salt have been dominant but both survived close shouts with Malan overturning what looked like a certain LBW and Salt had a shot dropped.

Currently England are 115-1 off 16 overs with Salt marching towards a first ODI century.

VillaMad · 17-06-2022 12:49pm

England now 283/2 off 36 overs.

Centuries for Salt and Malan and now Buttler has come to the crease and it hitting plenty of sixes. This score should be well north of 400.

A couple of bad drops from the Dutch with the pressure in the field getting to them.

Strumms · 17-06-2022 1:10pm

346/2 off 41… fûck… some great shots but the bowling and fielding is absolute dogshît…. England absolutely set for 400+. 20 off the last over…

absolutely pointless fixture….actually pointless series as it’s a 3 match one.

Jos Buttler with a century off 47 deliveries.

Feel a bit for the Netherlands though as they have a few missing because they are playing in the T20 Blast and obviously this bowling attack is just rubbish really.

Jos Buttler could easily get a double century when all is said and done. England's own record of 481 that they got against Australia 4 years ago is also under major threat.

Strumms · 17-06-2022 1:34pm

400 up off 43.5

feel sorry for The Netherlands too… got a sorry feeling that this isn’t exactly going to be a learning experience more a demoralising experience for them.. you won’t learn much getting absolutely destroyed like this. Half trackers, wides and no balls a plenty but plenty of great batting too…

16 off that over, every over is a double figure score.

VillaMad · 17-06-2022 1:42pm

Morgan brings himself out in front of Livingstone and is out LBW from his first ball. Morgan's batting is declining quickly.

Royale with Cheese · 17-06-2022 1:46pm

That Morgan LBW might have actually been a bad review for Netherlands in the end.

Strumms · 17-06-2022 1:46pm

32 runs off that over 😅🤣 Livingstone on 33 off 7 balls.

VillaMad · 17-06-2022 1:47pm

Livingstone hits 33 off his first 7 balls. Madness!

Strumms · 17-06-2022 1:57pm

England could get 500 here, won’t be far off.

36 in a couple of months … might be better off relinquishing the captaincy and concentrate on simply playing the game.

VillaMad · 17-06-2022 2:06pm

498 runs. Incredible hitting.

Strumms · 17-06-2022 2:09pm

498/4 after 50 overs….

Butler 162* off 70.

Net run rate of 9.96

The highest ever international 50 over score.. EVER.

beating 481/6 that England also posted against Australia

Strumms · 17-06-2022 2:25pm

Won’t be sitting in watching the Netherlands batting innings.

Got to leave around 4 but if I didn’t it’s a pretty pointless exercise when it’s just this uncompetitive.

Strumms · 17-06-2022 7:29pm

England win at a canter by 232 runs… im not very familiar with the Netherlands side but if as has been alluded to… some of their best players are playing club cricket in England and we’re not released or didn’t ask to be…. Not really in the spirit of the sport and players, nations improving… England too would have put a good degree of effort into preparing, traveling etc… but the Netherlands “ no my county need me “ ..county ? Absolutely no degree of courtesy for the sport or the travelling opposition…

even with that record I’d imagine the English won’t see it as anything aside from a glorified hit session…

Colin Ackermann, Fred Klaassen and Roelof van der Merwe were all playing in the Blast tonight while Brandon Glover is on the fringes at Northamptonshire. Paul van Meekeren and Timm van der Gugten were both injured but even if they weren't, they would have been with their respective counties.

Hard to blame the players as they rely on their county contract for a living and obviously don't want to do anything that would jeopardise that. Surely the ICC though should have something in place to prevent this as that made the game today a bit of mockery and I imagine the other 2 games in the series will be very much the same.

100%.

the ICC should ensure that there is a release available for internationally selected players.

also county sides need to have a bit of cop on, from board level to managers and coaches… but in that absence the ICC need to be stronger… show leadership.

the international competitive fixtures are the pinnacle of the sport. Therefore the best players have to be available..
