Think Broad saw this post and made him angry, he’s having one of his spells
Yeah very Oval 2009 and Trent Bridge 2015Think Broad saw this post and made him angry, he’s having one of his spells
So what were people saying about Broad
All of them are bad honestly. Yesterday when NZ had got a partnership to get close to England and were back in the match McMillan was so giggly & excited taking digs. Went very quiet today
I was thinking of that post tooThink Broad saw this post and made him angry, he’s having one of his spells
Just amazing performance especially bowling 4 top order batsThis pitch is still very good, as soon as the ball is 20 overs old and in the afternoon it plays really nice
Broad has made a lot of posters look very stupid.
Let's see if any apologies are incoming.

To be honest your overall point about England probably needing a bit of pace particularly with a pink ball test is correct. The pink ball flattens out as we saw in the first NZ innings and becomes useless for our fast bowlers
when Broad gets hot there’s nobody better.
Yeah tbf we picked a team to bowl in the dark and we timed it perfectly with our batting, so we got to bowl in the dark twice.
Would love to see them give Stone a go in the next test though. Give Robinson a rest maybe.
It feels like Broad’s entire England career has been a never ending cycle of everyone going ‘you know he’s kind of a weak link in this attack’ and then him going on a mad one.
Doesn't it.
I think it's mainly because he doesn't have any obvious strength. Not quick, doesn't swing it much, doesn't get the snappy bounce that McGrath got...
But if conditions are in his favour he's a handful, clearly!
Also it’s in his psychological make up isn’t it? He’s able to produce a little bit extra when he feels slighted.
Hope we win big tomorrow and Mitchell gets a few, given he's now a Lancastrian.
Anderson, what an enigma!
Great win!
We've struggled in New Zealand for years and years so that's a brilliant victory.

Four out of four away from home is great too, although both NZ and Pakistan look to be at a really low ebb.
Just a shame the WTC cycle started in June '21 rather than June' 22!
What do we do with Bairstow when he comes back? Pick him as an opener?
Since 2014, when he turned 32, he’s only had one season where he hasn’t averaged 23 or better, having only had one season at that level beforehand. Insane figures.

Can't see him opening, maybe someone else will or he will replace Foakes. Going to be interesting but good to see competition for places.
Surely the oldest bowler ever to do it by a mile!
Oldest since Australian leg-spinner Clarrie Grimmett (44) in 1936
Are there still people out there who doubt Anderson's brilliance? Surely there can't be many now.
Utterly ridiculous achievement to top the bowling rankings at 40.

I'd push Root up to open but can't see Stokes going for it.
Who would people replace Crawley with? Not that Stokes or McCullum will
Looking a good toss to win for NZ pope gone for 10
Wickets falling playing defensive shots
21/3
Massive toss to lose. I'm not sure that I've ever seen a pitch with as much grass on it.
A bowlers paradise

Brook is different gravy
Yeah plays with real confidence no matter what the situation is when he comes to crease
Harry Brook. Build the statue.
I don’t know about you guys, but I think Harry Brook is going to be the absolute superstar of the game. The pitch has been unplayable and England will be delighted to be only 3 wickets down at lunch. Brook is just jaw dropping. Incredible. I don’t know what to say! Great night of sport.
He feels zero pressure - should open the batting imo
