Haha, O'Brien trying that slower-ball again to Bell first-up. Not fooled this time.

 

[Richard]

Sounds like another pisspoor shot, if TMS are to be believed.

Was very odd. Ball was absolutely there to be hit and he somehow edged it.

Bell gonnnnnneeeeeeeeee too. O'Brien again. Shocking shot, trying to hit a straight ball to leg.

Bell, Collingwood and Ambrose to fall cheaply before Broad pisses us off while Pietersen scores at the other end.

1 down.

 

[wpdavid]

Keep walking Bell. Preferably all the way back to Edgbaston.

 

[Richard]

Strauss gone. Bell, Collingwood and Ambrose to fall cheaply before Broad pisses us off while Pietersen scores at the other end.

Surely someone has to get some runs eventually?

Almost hoping Collingwood will not though TBH.

Typical Kiwi top-order collapse.
























...oh wait.

It was bloomin' wide. He might at least have got his eye in after lunch.

Bell gonnnnnneeeeeeeeee too. Mills again. Shocking shot, trying to hit a straight ball to leg.

That would be because he has soooo much class etc etc

Hopefully that'll come later.















Probably won't be long until they get the chance.

 

[Stapel]

Who cares if 84/2 at lunch is a good score for whatever side. It's 85/4 now and that's not good for England!

 

[Richard]

99 times out of 100, after Lunch or any time, he's whack that.

That would be because he has soooo much class etc etc

Never normally see that, no matter how poor he's been doing. Is usually fishing outside off.

Here comes Collingwood. Maybe this is another day for another heroic century from Pieterson that saves this English batting effort.

One section of the media (forgot who now) in NZ said that this series can be summed up as:

2 very average sides playing each other and it's piss poor cricket in quality and only entertaining because it's evenly matched.

 

[pasag]

Gone!

 

[Richard]

Mills gets another!!!!!!! Fabulous ball, great catch from Taylor.

Ambrose FTW?

 

[Nate]

MILLS! Haha Collingw00d. Why play at that?

It's been a mixture of the crap and the good TBH. NZ were very poor earlier and have been excellent since Lunch.

 

[pasag]

England selectors are so dire, why Shah or whoever isn't playing instead of Collingwood or Bell is beyond me. Has pretty much cost them this Test. Great job.

2 down.

 

[99*]

Goodness. NZ bowling very, very well today.

 

[Richard]

MILLS! Haha Collingw00d. Why play at that?

'Cos it was damn close to off - and he ain't in the best of nick, TSTL. He ain't all that good either.

This 00-ism knows no bounds.

 

[Days of Grace]

It's all happening 'ere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taylor: no problem as Fleming's replacement.
