Indeed, I know many people hark on about run rates and positive intent but England showed none today and duly are now staring down the barrel.
New Zealand has comfortably played the better cricket so far in this test series and unlike us, they actually look like they fancy it.

He was bowling into the wind.

If you ask me, Mills is more of a ODI player than a test player. He is yet to make mark with ball in test cricket. His ability to bat & his experience earned him the test place ahead of Mason & other NZ speedsters.
TBH, I am not totally impressed with his bowling efforts in test cricket. However, if the conditions are ideal for fast bowlers, he fared better. Mark Gillespie will also feature in this list. He too doesn't seem to be a bowler suited to test cricket.

It's all relative really.
O'Brien has done very well and should be shutting up all who give him some rather unfair criticism. While he isn't the best bowler in NZ he certainly is by no means the worst, good effort from the man, could be pushing for a regular spot if he keeps his efforts up.
Taylor was absolutely excellent, Mills also played a handy role, upstaging Taylor a few times with the boundaries in his knock.
England will almost certainly be praying for rain after Taylor's knock. Go get 'em boys!

very happy with the days play. It looks like weve finally shut-up the english press.
Taylors innings was an incredible knock, i see it as the coming of age for rosco and i think we can look forward to some big things from him.
I believe that Vettori holds the key to this match and his battle with Pietersen will be intriguing stuff.

Good day for Lower Hutt anyway. Taylor and O'Brien doing The Valley proud!
I'm hoping that O'Brien can keep up that standard and show that it wasn't just a flash in the pan. Bloody lucky to get Cook out though - there was nothing right with that delivery!!
