Same Procedure As Last Year? Same Procedure As Every Year: England v New Zealand Test Match, Lord’s, 3 June & 5 June 2022

Chilly Ginger Beer On Day Four

Day Two: Friday 3 June 2022

Pretty much everything I want to say about Day Two of the Platty Joobs Test has latterly been published on the King Cricket website – click here or below.

If anything ever goes awry with the King Cricket site, you can read that piece here.

We had a very enjoyable day. It was bright and not all that cold.

Day Four: Sunday 5 June 2022

I had also bought Janie a guest ticket for Day Four – she likes to see the end of a test match and Day Four is often that. We could always pop back on the Monday if need be.

On this occasion, we knew there would be a result that day – the only question was precisely when would that be.

We got to the ground early to secure good seats although not many people turned up on a dank day to see a much shortened day of cricket.

Simon Doule looking a little glum

Jimmy looking surprisingly chirpy at the thought of batting. Always an outside chance

As it turned out, England batted with such purpose the match was completed within 25 overs.

Game Over

Janie thought the action was tremendous value for money…which it was…not least because the ECB deemed it to be a full refund day.

Here’s a link to the scorecard and all the CricInfo resources.
