England will do well to get anything out of the series v NZ ( the hope being that NZ are a little under cooked whereas England players gave generally done pretty well in the County Championship games)

Think he missed all of last summer as well didn't he? Might be looking back to 2020, or early 2021 tour at the latest.

That's probably our only chance.

If I look at the two squads, I think the only two England players that would get into the current NZ team would be Root & Stokes (would be appropriate given that our skipper was born and spent the first 12 years of his life there!).

Sign of where our Test team is at, because I don't think I've ever thought that before - most of the time in the past twenty years it's been the other way around.......

Last Test for Jofra was February 2021 in India.
He played some t20s later on that same tour. Not played for England since........

Jofra Archer profile and biography, stats, records, averages, photos and videos

Jofra Archer has rapidly become one of the most exciting young allrounders in English cricket. Born in Barbados to an English father and Bajan mother, the possibility of his inclusion in England's 2019 World Cup squad became subject of much speculation in the run-up to the tournament. Changes to...

Come on, don’t be so pessimistic.

If we really apply ourselves, we might see some of the Tests go into a second, or even third, day of play.
 
I have just watched the roses t20 blast at Old Trafford on Sky. My team Yorkshire looked like they were going to lose on several occasions then looked like they were going to win and the game ends in a tie. Even my wife (not a big cricket fan) watched it until the end. What a player Harry Brook is and will be. Fantastic advert for the blast although the ECB seem obsessed by the 100.

He is a sensational white ball player.
England have a chance in all one day tournaments with him, Stokes and other young players

Yes England should really be winning more T20/50 over tournaments. Phenomenal amount of talent there
 
A pretty much full strength New Zealand batting lineup were reduced to 19-6 in their second innings against a County Championship select XI. So there may be hope for the upcoming test series yet. 150 could be enough for either side to get a first innings lead!

And they lost in the end - to a team of players that weren't selected by their counties for the t20.

Maybe we should switch our squad last minute to get Ben Compton into the side? Match winning innings; 1000 runs in red ball cricket before the end of May (doesn't quite count as 1000 First Class runs because the game against NZ wasn't officially first class); five centuries already. Might be better than his cousin (I think)?

Certainly due to the prolific form he is in this season and given he is a specialist opener, he should be getting in ahead of Crawley? Hopefully he keeps it up and it gets to the point where they really can't not pick him. And yes, cousin of Nick.

I'll be disappointed if Brook doesn't get his chance in the first test but apparently it's not looking likely, with it due to be Bairstow - Stokes - Foakes at 5-6-7.
 
Hopefully Potts makes his debut, but I suspect that it will be Overton, Broad, Anderson.
Bairstow is likely to play as well I would have thought.
