A page of Test cricket history has been written on the historic ground of Trent Bridge, which has shocked world cricket. In the match being played between England and New Zealand, Kiwi openers Tom Latham and Devon Conway destroyed the English bowlers and scored such runs that a number of records were created on the board. Both the batsmen not only scored stormy centuries on English soil, but on the basis of their historic partnership, they made a great record in the cricket world which had stood unbeaten for the last 96 years. Seeing this explosive batting, the entire field of Trent Bridge echoed with applause and the England camp was completely on the backfoot.
Pair of Tom Latham and Devon Conway created new history in England
New Zealand’s intentions seemed very aggressive from the beginning of the match. On the fast pitches of England, where the world’s greatest batsmen are seen struggling, Tom Latham and Devon Conway completely spoiled the line-length of the English bowlers. Captain Tom Latham played cautiously at one end and completed another unmatched century of his Test career, while at the other end, Devon Conway batted in T-20 style and took England’s most experienced fast bowlers to remand. Both of them played brilliant shots all around the field and created a big partnership for the first wicket which ended all the hopes of England returning in the match.
This 96 year old historical record collapsed on the grounds of Trent Bridge
By scoring a century in this match, the pair of Latham and Conway turned the pages of history. An old record that had been going on since the 1930s has now been completely destroyed. This Kiwi pair has left behind the 96-year-old record in terms of the biggest partnership and fastest run scored by a foreign opening pair on English soil. According to cricket statisticians, it has become one of the most dominating opening partnerships in Test cricket. As soon as this record was broken, cricket pundits started praising the technique and passion of this pair on social media.
English bowlers looked helpless, New Zealand in strong position
This New Zealand pair completely ruined England’s ‘baseball’ strategy. The English team, captained by Ben Stokes, was unable to find any solution to these two formidable batsmen. The bowlers were not getting any help from the pitch and Conway-Latham took full advantage of it. Thanks to these two stormy centuries, New Zealand has scored a huge score in the first innings, due to which England is now under immense pressure to save the match. Sports experts believe that if the New Zealand team keeps this hold strong, then England may have to face a very embarrassing defeat at Trent Bridge.
