**Official** New Zealand in England

Agree. Hope they put the cricket on soon, /sigh. Rugby is fine I understand but when NZ teams aren't even playing the game!...

It doesn't come on Sky Sports One until the start of the next session. So about 30 mins.

 

[Craig]

If Sinclair was playing, I would have put the effort in to getting coverage of the first couple of hours. As it is I thought I'd just wait it out, especially given there was an NRL match on earlier anyway.

What if there was a power cut?

 

[Spikey]

I've defo read of batsmen being retired absent, rather than hurt, in FC matches, but nevermind, doesn't really matter. It was an error on Sky's part and that was all I needed to know really

As for this morning, oh dear

Wasn't there a 'Retired Dead' once?

 

[Richard]

Sheyps, that wasn't far away, but pretty fair decison really.

Good comeback from Darrell so far.

 

[chalky]

That looked close on 1st viewing

 

[GIMH]

looked out to me

 

[Richard]

Wasn't there a 'Retired Dead' once?

No, it was a "did not bat - dead".

Now an edge just over the slips, FFS.

 

[meatspx]

You'd think they would show the highlights on Sky Sports 1 during the next 35 mins, not bloody BMX highlights.

Sometime you have to wonder about the decisions they make! Bunch of muppets......

Who is playing anyway?

 

[Prince EWS]

Genny.

 

[GIMH]

FFS. I could afford one Test match this summer and opted for Headingley because I didn't think NZ would be much of an opposition. If I had to bet on a winner of this Test, right now....yeah I'd bet on them

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Wasn't there a 'Retired Dead' once?

Indeed.

No, it was a "did not bat - dead".

who/when?

 

[Richard]

Indeed.

Bloody hell, didn't take you long to find that.

who/when?

Haakon posted it before you even asked.

 

[GIMH]

Indeed.

Actually listed as absent rather than dead there

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha, Foxtel resumed coverage one ball before lunch. Quality.

 

[Craig]

Taylor dropped.

 

[Richard]

Either way, that's a shocking session. I'm off to bed, see if I fancy returning to CW for the second session.

NZ's session. If they are still batting come tea, then we're in trouble, given our top six's recent struggles to top 300, nevermind 400

edit - ah, I bring up 8k bemoaning my team

Scroll down.

--> Abdul Aziz retired hurt in the Karachi first innings having scored 0 (team score 270/7) (hit in the chest from ball from Dildar Awan and collapsed and died on the way to hospital)

So it was a retired dead.
