Is Conway technique similar to what Gary Palmer teaches?

I'm struggling to get past the fact that he was 18/19. For me, that's pretty old to get away with this. 15 or 16, sure... but 18? Come on.

I would say no. Conway just opens himself up a bit. Compare him and Sibley and you�ll see a huge difference.

Thing is, most people aren�t racist and sexist when they�re eighteen.

True, but then a lot of eighteen year olds are dickheads in one way or another. Obviously not acceptable things to be saying, even if they're meant as a 'joke', but you look at the comments about him when he got binned from Yorkshire and comments from Sussex about him now and he does seem a very different person.

I can believe he's genuinely remorseful and ashamed - as he should be - as opposed to Overton who refuses to even acknowledge he made racist comments.

Did England miss a trick by not picking a spinner. I know Joe Root rates himself as a spinner but I dont think he can fill in as a specialist. Unless its an absolute green top, I think a test side definitely needs a spinner to change things up and pose a different type of threat. Also, to hold up an end and dry up the runs. I assume that is the role NZ will expect Santner to play.

Without Stokes or indeed Woakes available it's difficult to balance the side. Yes the forecast is good and Lords over the last few years is flat and hard work for the bowlers.

We need all the seamers in this game so yes....we also needed Leach for some variety and it might spin later on.

Probably...the only option England had here was to leave out the number 6 and play the extra bowler. That also unbalanced but without our allrounder it's always going to be tricky.

Woakes was our player of the year the year before last, played next to no cricket in 2020 and not available here. It's strange to the point of being against all logic.

I guess Woakes needs to bide his time and wait for Anderson/Broad to retire. Its a shame really, someone of his quality not being considered for selection. Of course, picking him doesnt make sense if Anderson/Broad are playing.

Not trying to excuse him, but I have heard comments more sexist than Robinson's tweet pretty much every time I have been in a dressing room ever.

And let's not forget the Prime Minister we've got.

Why am I dreading today

No dread, they are decent so are India who come over as well.
We need to concentrate on the teams in front of us, hopefully then the coaches and players and press stop talking about the Ashes.

It happens time and again and as a fan I find it embarrassing to be honest.

NZ are going to get 500+ here.

TMS live text with a belter - "Henry Nicholls is like the Jordan Henderson of this New Zealand team. You won't mention him often but he's crucial and quietly effective".

This is painful to watch

Certainly better now! Funny old game...
