Ian Ward reacts to England's DOMINANT third day of their first Test against New Zealand

[@tatemericanpsycho]

Ian Ward is a great, great pundit; really a personal favourite.

[@alexjordanofficial1116]

A master

[@martinharvey3990]

Ward, Hussein, Atherton, Bumble, Holding were the best modern day group... Right up there with the Ch9 team of the 80s, especially when Tony Cozier joined them.

[@andrewharris1837]

Brooks superb and Stokes form great partnerships also with Atkinson.Together with Carse looks like England could have a great new side emerging😊

[@Phurngirathaana]

No team is good in tests right now! Anyone can beat anyone on a given day

[@colinmorrison5119]

Almost everyone is losing matches at home now. It's actually a fantastic period in Test match cricket.

[@ce11amitkumaryadav83]

​@@colinmorrison5119 india just lost 1 test series in 12 years No point saying india is loosing at home too 😂😂😂😂😂 Once in 12 years is called fluke , law of averages and etc etc India is still a beast at home and very good away especially on bouncy tracks

[@Mister_H.]

@@ce11amitkumaryadav83oh no, did that comment hurt your feelings, love? Let’s not mince our words. India got their asses handed to them by New Zealand because they got too big for their boots!! Perhaps you should take note also.

[@JP-lz3vk]

Kiwis lost the game yesterday when they dropped so many catches.

[@MuhammadRamzan-iz1sl]

Obvious remarks of Ian ward he's been altogether fall in love with Brooks century while summerising third day today of England's team that was quite good hopefully England will lead its troops to positive outcome from first tests performance bit by bit, second test gonna extremely watchful even if NZ won this but this is about to proceedings however England is very dominant in third day ending 😊

[@Amydarksoul-y7f]

This is the weirdest sounding English I've ever heard 🤣

[@MuhammadRamzan-iz1sl]

@Amydarksoul-y7f get me cleared this what're you trying to say in other words you could rephrase!

Could you please even leave a comment to explain about your laughing emoji what's very funny you've found tell by your own mouth to clarify the context or comment that I composed earlier what's hilarious thing you spotted?

[@junk_rig_sailor1698]

NZ have made Eng look good. Eight dropped catches - that won't happen again. If even half those chances are made Eng is facing a 100+ run deficit on the first innings. You have to thank the charitable Kiwis who seem to be having trouble coming off the high of the Indian series. I don't expect them to play this badly again in this series as it is all but certain Eng go 1-0 up.

[@rawltg]

Wardy has become smarter in the presence of Nas and Athers! Learnt from the greats...

[@Trajan2401]

The record for most dropped catches or chances is 9 in an innings NZ nearly equalled the record at 8

[@louisaarcher-s4c]

England dominated but with the help of New Zealand dropping so many catches this is not good for the game I couldn’t watch had to turn the television off

[@howhow88]

Zak Crawley best thing since slice bread 😢

[@robertmason6366]

He's Rob Keys blue eyed boy.

[@GIBBO4182]

I wonder if there’s ever been more catches dropped in an innings!?

[@AlunThomas-mp5qo]

If you went thru the journalistic records of test matches over the past 150 years you would find results of not only more catches being in an innings being dropped but also of clear catches being given not out, plumb lbw's being given not out etc. Many batsmen's great innings would be seen as being flawed when you knew the full details. One example being the first innings in the 1954 Brisbane Ashes test, 12 catches missed plus one stumping and one run out missed.

[@Trajan2401]

I just looked it up the record is 9 in an innings so just missed out on the record.

[@terrym61]

Oh how I wish sky had the cricket instead of that amateur show on tnt

[@kenab8958]

Bring Daniel worall for the ashes

[@js6120]

Are England playing cricket??? It's not on my tv. But then again, I don't have TNT Sports!! I'm already paying enough for Sky Sports to not be able to watch England cricket tour matches, Champions League, Guinness Premiership Rugby, NBA, etc, etc. What else are Sky Sports going to lose next? But hey ho, we now have round the clock tennis to watch now 😴

[@johnfellowes1070]

Highlights on KZbin of course my friend

[@sagar.p]

Why does he show up only when England win?

[@whitehart11]

Catches win matches

[@sarveshgaurav]

Make a spin track to beat england. Nz should learn it.

[@Lebowski53]

Beat India too 😂

[@Trajan2401]

Got nothing to do with the pitch dropped catches are the problem.

[@methaneman4045]

I suspect that England will now retain Pope as the main keeper with the others as cover

[@AlunThomas-mp5qo]

No, they won't.

[@methaneman4045]

@ I hope not

[@melvynslote457]

Pope is not a number three, five or six is his best position,

[@robertmason6366]

No way. Jamie Smith is our on his own. Great keeper and a destructive batsman..Pope and Crawley are our weakest links. My team for Oz Ahmed 11 Wood 10 Potts 9 Carse 8 Gus 7 Smith at 6 stokes at 5 Root at 4 Brook at 3 Bethal and Duckett opening.

[@methaneman4045]

@ I agree. The comment was tongue in cheek to reflect an England predilection to seize opportunities to go for a batsman/keeper rather than a keeper/batsman
