**Official** New Zealand in England

[chalky]

New Zealand really let England back into the match this morning. England have been terrible & New Zealnd have gifted them 2 wickets.

Still Taylor looks good hope he gets a 100 - would be very well deserved.

 

[Craig]

I'm saying nothing about Taylor until he gets his next 4 runs.

 

[Leslie1]

Don't underestimate O Brien, he did put on a partnership with Mason in Essex game. Batting in one day mode too looking at that innings. C'mon Flynn, come out and bat Drunken Master style and show the world you can bat dizzy.

Atrocious stuff from both teams this morning. Is this test cricket, or is it tea, scones and cucumber sandwiches with your Great Aunt Mabel on Hampstead Heath.

Leslie's on my ignore list, so I can only guess what **** he's spouting against Vettori now, but that was damn brainless and lazy from our most productive batsman of recent times, and had Oram taken a van load of tranquilisers before going out to bat?

What a prize pair of pillocks. Vettori's dismissal is right up there with that Chris Read dismissal to my mind.

 

[Craig]

Sidebottom on.

Mills is a decent batsman. No-one underestimate him. I hope this isnt a jinx

 

[Craig]

C'mon Mills.

 

[Richard]

Daym, looks like I chose the wrong moment to have my haircut.

Two stupid run-outs?

Oh, replays now.

 

[Craig]

Mills is a decent batsman. No-one underestimate him. I hope this isnt a jinx

At the rate we're going...

 

[Leslie1]

This is a strange match to say the least, but is the wicket getting flatter and is batting getting easier out there?

That was the prediction, who knows whether it's happened yet.

Six to Mills, ITSTL.

 

[Craig]

I hope Mills having a lot of the strike does not affect Taylor.

 

[Leslie1]

Go Mills...

I get the feeling the 'heavy-ball' bowlers will benefit no end on this wicket. Martin will be unstoppable me thinks.

 

[Craig]

Flynn not going to bat

 

[Craig]

Turns out Taylor has lost a run.

Mills' looking very good today.

Hope Flynn gets well, bet he was in all sorts of pain.

 

[Leslie1]

Flynn not going to bat

Yah, why do the radio commentary keep saying he will bat at the last minute?

 

[Craig]

Four more to Mills. Man how important would it be for England to get a wicket soon, because I have a feeling England are letting this match go back in New Zealand's favour...

 

[Craig]

Up to 29* so far.

Headhunter is back on now.
