**Official** New Zealand in England

I thought maybe he was washing his hair.

Won't see him this Test, then. Will take him 'til Sunday.

 

[steds]

Looked a good shout to me.

 

[Richard]

You could say Chris Martin is off tune

That's so corny it's good.

Mills almost had an lbw there. Possibly bat, possibly pitched outside leg, possibly missing leg tho.

bumble has already made that joke

 

[Prince EWS]

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

Suspect whoever they asked in the dressing room might be joking as well TBH.

To what do we owe this pleasure of your sudden massive upturn in posting, Master B?

 

[Richard]

I hope so. Wonder what the reason actually is.

Broad gets four from the bottom of the bat off an attempted Yorker.

 

[andruid]

Oh well I am a Coldplay fan an they have recently come back from their cyclical 2 year sabbatical.

 

[Richard]

FFS, no third-mans grind my gears, almost regardless of circumstances.

 

[steds]

Oh well I am a Coldplay fan

Nobody's perfect.

Broad's batting could really go to a new level if he moved his feet more early in his innings. His footwork seems decent enough when he's been in for a while, but he gets stuck on the crease so badly early on.

 

[Richard]

We're going to finish with barely quarter-of-an-hour overplayed.

If he did that, my guess is that he'd never have started bowling ITFP, because his batting would never have started to lack in skill.

 

[Prince EWS]

If he did that, my guess is that he'd never have started bowling ITFP.

Which would benefit England ever more!

 

[Prince EWS]

Hope O'Brien gets 5. Really deserves it.

 

[Manee]

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

Danger?

 

[Richard]

'Twas an ironic comment, FTR.

But for Chris Martin this'd have been an excellent day for NZ. Anyway, 273 for 7 at The Close. Can't really say much about where that stands us until the next innings, which hopefully will commence very soon tomorrow.

 

[Richard]

Which would benefit England ever more!

My point exactly.

 

[steds]

Top day for New Zealand.

 

[steds]

Heard it's going to be glorious tomorrow and then piss it down for the next week or so.

Belay that. Thought it was friday. Saturday's supposed to be grand.
