Six fielders at slips is an uncommon occurrence in today’s Test cricket. When McCullum was captaining New Zealand during his playing career, he used this strategy in an ODI. With so many modifications in the English cricket system, fans have been waiting a long time for a stunning performance of the game.

It seemed to be so attractive and harmonious that fans began to react as soon as it was shared on social media. The image of England receiving six slips while the visitors battled has gone viral and appears to be in the shape of an arc.

With 17 wickets falling on day one of the first Test between England and New Zealand at Lord’s, it was a day to remember in Test cricket. The hitters on both sides were unable to control the strip’s speed and movement.

After James Anderson gave his team the crucial breakthrough by scalping the opening batsmen Tom Latham and Will Young in only five overs, England was reduced to 2/2 after 4.3 overs. Stuart Broad, the other comeback player, took his first wicket of the day in the eighth over, removing Devon Conway.

The current Test match is the return of cricket in its most pure form. England has only won one of their last 17 Test matches, and as a result, they are currently ranked last in the World Test Championship points standings. They need to win several key games and score some crucial points with only a year until the final.

However, Twitter praised the six-slip field setup on opening day.
