Kiwi here: Whilst there is a great deal about the England side to be excited about (who wouldn't want Atkinson, Carse, Bethel and Smith in your side, and let's not forget the sublime Joe Root?), my concern for England is that New Zealand flattered them in the first test by dropping so many catches. Obviously it's not possible to say that NZ would have won the game had those catches been taken. But England, despite deservedly winning the series, needs to take them into consideration when evaluating the series and their performance.
I think we are but you have to remember after your india series and our pakistan series we were expecting to lose. England are a good side with potential to topple India and Australia but may well lose both series convincingly. Looking forward to watching both series.
Well, we flattered you by not scoring more runs and taking wickets quicker. I really don't understand this catching argument. The same logic applies to all elements of the game.
@lingolarker9318 Australia are likely to be more vulnerable next year than they have been in a while. Khawaja is in his late 30's, the opener pool is shallow and the best prospects are still young and building their game, and there is an even chance Australia will need to blood a less experienced quick sometime during the series. Still tough competition, but the chinks in their armour may be wider than in recent years.
So do you like this England? As a neutral fan ( from India) we had a great time playing the home series vs Eng and have watched most of the tests played by England coz of their exciting brand of cricket.
Im from Pakistan I think England is most criticised team Yea they have lost the game by big margin but they have won the series against a team which ended india home streak The same bowling lineup destroyed india in india and england batted extraordinary in first 2 match Yea there have been moments where england had lost the match but still they won in new Zealand which is A quite remarkable Achievement After the end of T20 Wc this year, England needed to won 12 match of 12 to qualify for wtc final i never expected them to win all 12 But they won 8 out of 12 which is still a decent achievement 😊
If Stokes can't bowl, he's not a good enough batsman to keep his place in the team. Nasser says that Crawley is out of form, but his career average is 30. That's a long time to be out of form. He also underplayed how badly England were outplayed. They won the toss and sent NZ in under perfect seam bowling conditions, but still managed to lose by 423 runs. It's time that England went back to playing proper cricket.
He's a brilliant captain. But if you look ar his record as a batsman in the past few years you'd be forced to accept that I am not 'insane'.@@henryburton6529

Nasser is great. However, why no mention of Chris Woakes, who took 32 wickets this year in 9 Tests at an average of 24.09. Woakes played in all the away victories but did not play in any of the defeats. It was the same in the last Ashes. This past summer he played in 5 wins and 1 defeat. One day the penny will drop that England are a better team with him in it.

England are a better team than the WTC standings show but there are too many ifs, buts and maybes. The batting has too many players that can strike the ball but can not build an innings and are essentially useless against spin. The bowling looks promising with Atkinson and Carse but neither has the x factor of someone like Archer, or even Saqib who doesn't even have a red ball contract. There isn't a world class spin option and Stokes is now more liability than match winner.
If you replace him with a specialist batsman then that would mean playing with only four bowlers, that's a risky move. Is there another all rounders somewhere that deserves a go.
It is indeed WTC or bust. All this glitter of defeating teams in under 3 days playing attacking cricket might be entertaining for the fans but is of no value if one wins ten and loses ten.
The England team don't seem to have the experience to change their tactics in adversity...They just keep on playing the same way. Some of the shots that lost wickets were criminal.
England’s batting was atrocious in their second innings. It was as if they weren’t actually trying to win and weren’t trying to save the gave. They basically looked like they gave up.
Serious question: Is stokes good enough? Not fit enough to bowl regularly, goes at 4-6 an over with only occasional wickets. No real consistent runs at 6. If he is so much about the team, would he drop himself.
Stokes not good enough to be selected as a batsman and can't be relied on to bowl, not that he's that good a bowler anyway. One dimensional captain, time for him to step down. Take away the hype and he's not that good
If NZ would have held onto all their chances in first test may be the results would have been different bcz apart from brook and root rest of the batting has been medicore.
Eng did the same in 3rd test against SL.. They didn't want to win. One Test against SL + one test against NZ + 23 deducted points, hav cost Eng WTC final.
Dunno. Aussie here. Australia's bowling attack is constantly pulling them out of and there is a used-by date coming. Batting is very inconsistent and in transition with Warner gone, Smith on the decline. The poms have a chance of getting something next Ashes - if they stop with the Bazball.
Australia's lack of quality experienced openers will leave them a little vulnerable next year. Even their middle order has been too reliant on Head and Carey against India. Smith did look good on Sunday but.
I mean that the England cricket team is very much focussed on aggressive brand of cricket. As we see that the test match requires a tenacity of purpose with a sole aim of undoing the opponent's strategy and taking forward the team to the winning podium. Then that be the case the team should learn the art of manuring through the situation and come out successful.

Most overrated test team England most overrated test cricketer Ben stokes most overated nonsense is BAZBALL
garbage
Australia are going to destroy this side with the way they play. NZ had Southee and were bowling with 2 seamers, a part time spinner. If you had 4 seamers bowling 140k +, England are going to have alot of 3 day tests in Australia
You have no idea what you are talking about.
@@henryburton6529 If England played the way they did this week in 12 months time Australia are going to beat them 5-0.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 Maybe, maybe not. If they play a different way are they going to win?
Is there any way they could play and not lose 5-0 in your mind?
@@henryburton6529 Yes, they could play better. England were nowhere near their best in Hamilton. If they play like they did in Wellington they will be more competitive. The trick is to be at their best on the first day so they're not playing catchup for the rest of the match.
Absolutely correct . Back the 5-0 now , England are full of flakey batsmen who are unable to dig in and battle .
