Actually I can bet my life's investestment that this test will be won by England. Man of the match-Johnny Bairstow Man of the series-Bairstow and Mitchell. Best captain-Strokes. Best coach-Brendon Mcculum.
Cricinfo says that this is the first time in Test History that a batsman has ever scored back to back hundreds at better than a run a ball in Test Matches. Think of all the greats who have never managed it: Lara, Tendulkar, Sobers, Bradman, Kallis, Sangakarra ...
@@harsha1989able Ugh, ODIs are the most boring. Tests and T20s are peak entertainment. Enjoyment is guaranteed. On the other hand, only 1 in every 10 ODIs is interesting.
@@Pranav_Bhamidipati As if every Test match is Nail biting Thriller. Most of the memorable matches i have seen are ODIs - Ind vs Eng, Eng vs Ire (WC 2011) Nz vs SA, Aus vs Nz (WC 2015) Not to forgot the greatest Cricket match NZ vs Eng 2019 WC Final. This are just WC matches I remember a lot of other. There's a reason why The most prestigious Cricket World Cup is in ODI format.
English summer is the only thing i look forward to about modern day cricket, tests you all day every day mentally and physically over a series, there is something for every set of skill, the twists with the frequent change of weather with a full house at most venues if not all, and the icons calling the game..such a stage, so much to expect and look forward to as a fan...sheer joy..
Would be a memorable debut for Jamie if he'll get a hundred on his debut. Impressive stuff from the Englishman, he cashed in aptly on the missed DRS call.
Bairstow plays his natural attacking game even when the team was struggling at 21/4. Home lad smashing 🇳🇿 bowlers all around Headingly for a 💯 truly Impressive 🔥. Well Played 👏
A bit of Adam Gilchrist inside him. Watching this kind of innings now possibly make Indians realize How over rated Dhoni is as wicket keeper. He never played this sort of mind boggling innings in test.
Brendon McCullum ✌️🔥 And his attacking mindset change completely to England team in Test cricket,58-6 to 264-6 (49over) One of the best innings from Johny 🔥
Yeah - I noticed NZ lost their 7th wicket at 265, for context, this partnership has brought England back from what looked like a sub-100 total easily to some form of parity (unbroken) - in half the overs - still 31 overs before the 2nd new ball is due 🤯
This innings of bairstow can be rated more highly as it was done in difficult bowling conditions compared to the last match. Last match 100 rating:7.5 This match 100 rating:8
Taking nothing away from Bairstow & Overton, both played absolutely brilliant and rescued their team BUT the highlight which I enjoyed the most was Boult's fiery spell towards the start of the English Innings. It was sheer beauty and a great exhibition of amalgamation of Swing and Pace. Trent Boult is a Legend already!!!!
from 55/6 to 264/6..more than 200 runs partnership at astonishing run rate..Test cricket at its best 👍🏻 Thanks to this english team who plays tests like odis
This is not test cricket They're playing like it's an odi, Just look at the score 264 in 49 overs! It sucks all the surprising elements of test cricket out of the game. If Players continue to do this, then test cricket will be wiped out by their own creators. Also it's the people who like to watch players hitting the ball out of the park. No one has patience these days (I'm saying this as a teen!)
@@thehighscore8341 its called evolution of cricket ..they were 55 for 6 struggling like old classic ..then these two counter attacked like modern matches..it is a prefect mix for cricket .. And u saying batsamn should not score at a faster rate is the stupidest thing ever heard
My God, this series has just been superb, don’t want it to end. Test cricket is just fantastic in England, the conditions, the pitches, the full crowds and the exciting matches. Matches elsewhere in the world just aren’t the same. I wish Pakistan and India could regularly play a test series against each other in England.
By surprise this has turned into one of the best series of all time. I’m not by any means saying that either team is among the greats but you can’t knock the quality of attack/counter attack cricket. Every game has been truly memorable with some fantastic performances from numerous players: with Mitchell, Blundel, Boult, Root, Bairstow and Stokes all worth a salutation in particular.
@@kataizahar2619 You seem to forget that they have been in the last two white ball finals, also been in the t20 final and recently beaten India to win the Inaugural Test Championship.
What a bowling!!! The 6 wickets were really nice but they were smashed all over the park after that so i would say after the 6 wickets it was embarrassing!!!! When is the last time a bowling side went for over 5 runs a over for the full day
Jeez, Bairstow's catch was amazing when you consider the height, the movement of the ball through the air and his body position to be able to give himself a chance. Quite incredible, good cricketing contest this one EDIT*** Also gotta give kudos to Boult's bowling - hucking fell! Amazebombs :)
Jonny bairstwo another incridible innings helps England to out of the struggle appreciate Overton to stay with Jonny in the crise and made a Brilliant partnership with Bairstwo 🥰🥰❤️❤️
The batting stance of Jamie Overton reminds me of the great Kevin Pietersen. Jamie could be a great asset for the English team in upcoming times. May be it's too early to say but his agression, temperament & all-round skills are quite exceptional !!!
What a innings from Mitchell 🔥🔥🔥 3 centuries in back to back 3 test matches, what an awesome form he is in 🔥🔥🔥🔥and jonny Bairstow what an innings under pressure 🔥🔥🔥 , 200+runs partnership with a debutan , well played both them, let's hope we will see this kind of fight in this test match +upcoming india series too 🏏🤩🤩
@@user-bc4dt2nj9g aww chokli fan spotted... Smith has much better test and knockout odi average than chokli... So go cry somewhere else... Virat fears mohammad aamir and anderson while smith destroys both of them every single time
Nobody in this world can match the swinging talent of boult he is one of the most consistent test bowler of this decade always try to bowl full irresp. Of the result get rewards of conventional swing..legend tbh ❣️❣️❣️
What actually matters is the approach indeed, it was the Captain who put a small bravo show up in such a pressure situation. Later, Johnny and the debutant put a great display with bat. Great 2nd day 👍😍😍😍
💯 for Mitchell & Bairstow + 50+ for Blundell & Jamie + 5-fer for Leach. Great Revival from 🏴 as the 7th Wicket record Partnership is just Unstoppable 🔥. Well Played 👏 .
Wagner striking 2 wickets right in his 1st Over made me think why he was not played in the other 2 tests🙄. He is getting better every match🎯. Well Played 👏.
@@vipin395 lol, dont u see his 2 wickets?? Those were on swinging deliveries...and for your info, there should be some versatality in a bowling attack.....kid
@@FaizanKhan-lr9ng dumbf**k u could say that nicely but u stupid sh*t ho*es don't know how to talk... first of all Jamieson is in good form and a tall bowler so they already had a variety they choose bowlers according to conditions.. Wagner played all matches in Australia cause condition suit him but not the same case here... u being kid know nothing about cricket teaching go learn first urself I'm ur dad when it comes to cricket ..
India screwed up from playing the last match last year instead of running off to IPL. India has momentum on their side, losing this match will hurt India's chances of reaching top 2 in WTC, not end of the road but a win or draw would be nice.
Hundreds of Bairstow in Tests in 2022:4/36 and scored hundred vs AUS.4/48 and scored hundred vs WI.3/56 and scored hundred vs NZ.6/55 and scored hundred vs NZ. Guy delivered this year when needed the most . Amazing 👍🏼
@@user-bc4dt2nj9g Where did that come from?? Nobody is talking about either of them. Dam, this comment didn't even mention Root, if you want somehow to connect it with the best players of this gen.
@@user-bc4dt2nj9g 😂 loli is expired..don’t expect much from kohli..he surely gonna retire in next 10-12 months..steven smith is still better than kohli..
If he's a bowling all rounder then how well he has batted till now. His batting was majestic, confident and his footwork excellent. He wasn't perturbed by the fact that England had already lost six wickets and only the tail to follow. He played as if this is his hundredth test. I mean he will get better and better if given more opportunities and with a specific job. That's for sure.
What Bairstow and England did these last 4 test matches is unprecedented, unbelievable ruthlessness under pressure..It's all time great type in the game..
@@amitm2692 India on paper have a better team, but you forget Cricket is a game based on form and squads gelling. India haven’t played a test in months, whereas England have been playing 5 day cricket for the last 4 weeks non stop. If this way a series of tests I’d say India but it’s a one off test to conclude last years tests. England will win, based on the fact they’ve been gelling together as a team and playing confidently over the last 4 weeks.
England show magical performance after poor situation. Impressive debut for overton and Jonny bairstow made hard hitting then he gets outstanding century . must better partnership for England. Hopefully this partnership will be succeeded..
55/6 to 264/6... What a comeback.... 209 runs partnership and still counting... Great job by 'the man who the team can always rely on' - Bairstow and the debutant Overton 👌
@@Sri-df5zk they couldn't even win the series in England itself.... But now, with Brendon McCullum as their head coach, this English side can pose a great challenge against Aussies in Australia ECB has to fix odi and T20 matches before ashes to give English players a fair chance Ashes 2021 was the worst .....it was absolutely one sided....they had a terrible coach Brendon McCullum will take England to its greatest height
ECB Sometimes also try to appreciate the opponent, so far MITCHELL has played fabulous & is the highest scorer from Newzealand in England in Tests (in a single series).
They do. The official England page on facebook posted some the England wickets and congratulated Mitchell on his century. You can't blame them for putting bairstow in the title
What a brilliant performance and dominant innings from bairstow that, s why they are best side even when this england team are 50/5 stil every time they manage 350 plus score simply amazing...
