**Official** New Zealand in England

Probably going to take quite something to not get a 300+ score today, if even Luke Wright's making batting look this easy.

Mind, being England, "quite something" can never be ruled-out, not by a long-shot.

 

[Zinzan]

Huge chance for 320+ for England - Looks like a road to me, and as usual so much depends on Vettori's10 over spell.

OVERCAST (So i heard)... C'mon Mills. Swing it baby.

Oram is not bad either in that department.

Hmm Gillespie may take a few wickets but would still go 60+
Southee could go either way for 30-40 to 50-60+
While Mills and Elliot are also likely to not get away from going cheaply.

Oram and Vettori going at under 40 is pretty vital here.

Not sure this is Oram's kind of wicket tbh. His bounce may work in the batsmens favourite on what looks like a true pitch for mine. Of course hopefully I'm wrong.

 

[Richard]

WoW, what a catch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Holy ****!!
Taylor!! Takes the rippers, drops the sitters.

 

[Zinzan]

Pure reflect that! Would like to see the reaction time on that. Looked about 0.38sec for mine

 

[Athlai]

Taylor is a totally gun fielder, a couple of dreadful drops aside. Love him.

Would you like to make a song out of that KiWi?

Unless the batsman is as dominating as KP, I don't think there are many gifts from him though, he bowls just short of the length and bounce or not, his bowling is generally really hard to dispatch. Plus he's so boring to watch as a bowler, and that's a compliment. He does for his bowling what Jacques Khalis do with his bat.

 

[Richard]

That's huge.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Terrible shot KP.

 

[Leslie1]

Crap.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

KP!!!!

Ravi Bopara versus Daniel Flynn, which would people prefer if you HAD to choose?

Bopara.

 

[Zinzan]

Gawd Pietersen, what a waste! Could have murdered on this pitch if he got going

Depends on where you're from.
