So Australia are now only the second worst team in history?

You've done it in the post above. I'd rather be the current champions than used to be champions.

Have really enjoyed the England v NZ test series - some quality cricket from both sides.
Can't remember the last test series in England without any rain delays but it's made for 3 excellent test matches.
Bairstow has really lifted and suddenly that middle order looks strong with Root, Bairstow and Stokes.
Openers still an issue though

Is this the catch up game from the one postponed last year due to covid in Indian squad?

Is it a continuation of the previous series or just a one-off test for the Test Championship points?

england will need to rely on some more 4th innings heroics from someone. Might not be as easy this time. Loved Broad's "record" over the other day. :lol:

Makes you wonder if the days of winning the toss (over there) and batting first nearly every time will become a thing of the past.

Same happens here..

Stokes was apparently quoted as saying that we don't care if we bowl first as whatever they set us, we'll chase.

That was VERY impressive.
If England can get Jofra back for the Ashes next year all of a sudden the bowling attack looks a lot better as well.

Why would you think he isn't?

Cricket is a team sport played by individuals.

Dunno really just a feeling, all about balance. He’s an individual who seems to attract attention for things other than his role in the team. Doesn’t help he throws his wicket away all the time. I am sure, he will play when fit
