Outbatted, outbowled, outplayed. New Zealand beat England by an innings and 65 runs in the first Test at Mount Maunganui. An exhibition of how to comprehensively win a 5 day game of cricket. 🏏

Back to Test cricket - New Zealand play England in the first of two Test matches. Match at the Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, Tauranga, New Zealand. Morning start in NZ at least means I can watch most of the first session before bedtime in the UK. 😀 🏏

Not again! England beat New Zealand in super over to win T20 series 3-2. Haven’t watched it yet but sounds like Chris Jordan’s performance was crucial - link 🔗🏏

England beat New Zealand in the 4th T20 match to level the series 2-2. Good to see an outstanding performance from England after a couple of defeats. Deciding match is at Eden Park, Auckland on Sunday - but from what I’ve heard the weather forecast is not good :( 🏏

8 November 2019 - Cricket

Evening T20 match in New Zealand means that at least I’m up early enough in the UK to see half the match. NZ chasing England’s 241-3 have got their work cut out for them - they started scoring well but have just lost 4 wickets in the last 20 minutes… 🏏

England win the ICC Cricket World Cup final. Unbelievable and dramatic game of cricket - I’ve been glued to it all day. So pleased that England won, but it was such a close, hard fought game that neither side really deserved to lose. A great end to the tournament. 🏏

Brilliant! England beat Australia by 8 wickets in 32.1 overs to go into the ICC Cricket World Cup Final. They will play New Zealand on Sunday at Lord’s. 🏏

Australia all out for 223 in the ICC Cricket World Cup semi-final against England. Some really outstanding bowling by England. I’m hopeful but, given the last couple of days of India v New Zealand, taking nothing for granted. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏏

Just catching up on yesterday’s cricket results - so, amazingly, it’s England v Australia in a World Cup semi-final! My hope of an England v India final is still alive 🏏

3 July 2019 - Cricket

England dispatch New Zealand to seal Cricket World Cup semi-final spot - England 305-8, New Zealand 186. Now I can relax about cricket until next week. Would love to see an England v India World Cup Final but have a feeling it won’t work out that way. 🏏

England v India: Jonny Bairstow & Liam Plunkett star in hosts’ Cricket World Cup win. Exciting match to listen to on TMS - now England just need to maintain that level of performance. Perhaps the return of Jason Roy is the talisman the team needs 🏏

Very pleased to get BBC Test Match Special streaming in Greece 🇬🇷 to listen to England v India Cricket World Cup game 🏏
