Quoted from ginnywings
England easily beat NZ in the first T20, with Malan and Brook taking the game away from them, resulting in us only needing 14 overs to wrap up the win.

Our bowlers set us up, with Wood (not that one) and Carse taking 3 wickets each.


It was an odd game that never really got going. It’s not often you can say a New Zealand side weren’t particularly competitive but they weren’t and they were way off what you’d expect.
I’m hoping for a better contest tonight and I’m looking forward to seeing Atkinson fingers crossed.
I’m hoping to see him, Carse and Wood in the test arena in the not so distant future.

Yet another brilliant innings from Brook. He’s just ridiculous and supremely skilled in all formats. I genuinely think he’s a generational talent!

Yeah, he makes it look so simple, but the NZ bowlers are no mugs. Bairstow pretty brutal too.

Big total for NZ to chase and they will have to bat really well to pull this one out of the bag.

I’m glad I got to see Atkinson but my wish for a competitive game didn’t materialise!

Their method was madness but I think they’ve got there in the end even if they’re not exactly sure how!
Seems a little muddled between Buttler, Mott and Wright but perhaps the end justifies the means.

This has been a really poor batting display from England. All got in and then out in tame fashion.
I repeatedly heard Buttler say in the build up that we’re not defending the World Cup but are going to attack it. Obviously it’s a sound bite not to be taken too seriously but once you’ve said it, your team has to carry it out which they haven’t.
It’s like they’ve been caught in betwixt and in between when they should have fully committed.
Let’s hope the bowlers can rescue this for us!

Yeah, we were poor considering they were down to the bare bones and employed a part time bowler who took 2 prize scalps.

They are currently rattling along at almost 9 an over and Woakes is getting a right pasting, which is unlike him. Wood now getting the same treatment. Think NZ are going to win this comfortably.

Not a good start at all.

We now lose to Afghanistan, and by a big margin too.

Like Town, England look disjointed and lacking in belief.

All we need now is for England to lose to Italy in the Euros to round off a dismal week of sport.
