**Official** New Zealand in England

[stumpski]

Have New Zealand taken the new ball yet? I was wondering if O'Brien had been preferred to Martin.

Yep.

 

[Jono]

Gun knock from Pietersen though. The tougher the situation the more likely he's going to score runs it seems. Just one of those players.

He has indeed, only sensible decision really. O'Brien has been (surprisingly, again) impressive and Martin has been woeful today.

 

[Richard]

Or indeed against South Africa last year.

Well given I was supporting SA that series I wasn't too annoyed about that TBH.

 

[Manee]

Just noticed that Bucknor and Hair are umpiring, a most controversial pair.

 

[Richard]

Ambrose gone. O'Brien in serious danger of a five-for here.

 

[steds]

Nuts.

Looks like Sidebottom has asked for a nightwatchman - Anderson in at nine.

Haha, that's ridiculous.

nah sidebottom is taking a 'comfort break'

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

I'm called Dick and Dick - what's worse?

Being called Dick Dom Dick?
Hey there's an idea Dick Dick.

Call your first son Richard Dominic Dickinson.

Night watchman for he night watchman

Looks like Ambrose got a bottom-edge on the bottom of the bat. Pretty well played anyway, just a bit disappointing he couldn't have reached The Close.

I thought maybe he was washing his hair.

Nah. Jimmy's just in his rightful place.

The dressing-room official word is indeed that it's a nightwatchman. I was only joking...

You could say Chris Martin is off tune

 

[Richard]

Nah. Jimmy's just in his rightful place.

Anderson probably is better than MSP TBF to him. But he's not a patch on Sidebottom.

 

[jammay123]

maybe hes scared of the fearsome ian o'brien
