England in New Zealand 2019

Post by Lou Grant »

Early squad news for the test series in NZ later this year.

Buttler to keep wicket (Foakes also being considered as an option)
Bairstow not ruled out but will only get a place as a batsman if selected.
Anderson, Wood & Stone to miss out due to injury - Saqib Mahmood may be selected
Pope will be in squad alongside one or both out of Sibley & Crawley

Welcome to the post Bayliss era.

Would love to watch cricket in Napier and see all the art deco architecture.

At least they're playing the one-dayers before the Tests though, like in the Olden Days.

The answer is no. The cricket calendar is now never ending. Off to South Africa after a short break. Then Sri Lanka and then we are back to the English season. Mix in the Big Bash and IPL.

Been there and done both. The architecture's great, but aside from that Napier is a bit like Brighton before it became a hip place to hang out - right down to the stony beach and sea front filled with cheap and cheerful B&Bs.

(Although much like Brighton it's probably changed a lot since I was last there.)

And many of those nations like England have different T20 and fifty over teams from the test teams. The inaugural test championship started recently involving I think it was South Africa and India. How did that progress?

Nice. 8) Will get there one day. Don't mind Brighton either.

Table here:
https://www.espncricinfo.com/table/seri ... ampionship

The NZ series doesn't count towards it for some reason, so no points up for grabs in November. The reason for all the T20s is that the T20 World Cup takes place roughly 12 months from now.

Cheers Lou. I stand corrected, It was West Indies and India.
