**Official** England in New Zealand

[Richard]

I'm not sure whether or not that was catchable TBH but if it was... 2 drops in 2 deliveries.

Nah, that wasn't catchable TBF. Just out of reach.

 

[_Ed_]

That one was actually difficult, so it shouldn't be put in the same group as the debacle of the previous over.

 

[Richard]

Never mind difficult mate, that was never going to be caught. Could replay that 60000 times, it'd never be caught.

 

[Bahnz]

Sigh...had we held our catches today we might've had a chance of getting England out for something chaseable.

 

[GIMH]

Yeah, living dangerously here though

 

[GIMH]

I was always confident that that would be not out tbh

edit, forgot how much of a pain the 30 second rule can be when you're in an official thread

LOL, reminds me of that post by Smith...

 

[_Ed_]

That LBW appeal wasn't that far away either...looks like Collingwood's heading for 100.

 

[GIMH]

Hehe, yeah trademark innings from our Colly that

Yeah, Cook gone much earlier, Collingwood gone... simplistically, that'd be 5 down for 50-odd less. Would all be totally different had McCullum taken (or, more realistically, left for Fleming) that one though obv.

'Twas almost certainly missing leg for my money.

Collingwood's fortune rarely knows that much bounds however.

 

[GIMH]

gonna throw the towel in soon, hopefully we can see this through to tea still 4 down. Hope to get up to a pleasant scorecard as I did this morning.

 

[Richard]

BTW Ben, what prompted the change from Styris to Ryder?

Ya' see? It's balancing out as we speak.

 

[Richard]

With Collingwood it NEVER evens-out. I can't ever remember some misfortune for him. He's had more good luck than I can remember tho.

Styris retiring from tests was certainly part of it. But mostly it was just a player coming into the side who looks almost as cadaverous as Scotty.

OK. Look forward to your next design on the next occasion, whoever the lucky player may be.

Anyway, that's Tea, beautiful end to the session for Bell. Think I'm probably off to bed TBH, I leave you with another reminder to please vote on the poll if you want your country to be accurately represented.

 

[GIMH]

NZ's session but I am very pleased with the state of the game. Thinking that this time tomorrow we'll be closing in on 1-1.

Goodnight CW.

Sinclair to deny you IMO.

Goughy paying you for all this advertising?

I fear (hope?) it shall be quite a while before we unearth someone with the looks to follow in Jesse's bloated footsteps...
