[straw man]

Yeah, they are. Good to see that the issue is getting some forthright criticism on cricinfo.

Yes, and a test at Eden park too. Oh for a proper test cricket ground in Auckland!

Well that was some nice miniature cricket, think they should be made to use autograph bats.

Jade could be fun here though.

14+ all the way.

Still, looked like 240-250 was on the cards for a moment there\ although I expect England will have learnt where not to bowl. Broad and Finn will be tougher to hit straight with their bounce. England to win by 35 runs for mine.

I didn't like the idea for Victoria Park with that bridge nearby and the temporary nature of it. Something more substantial at Colin Maiden Park looked more interesting.

Ian Smith clearly forgotten Guptill's T20 century in SA

 

[BeeGee]

warning for Finn?

 

[straw man]

Oh here we go, Finn's kicking the stumps over again. What's the call?

I didn't mind the Victoria park idea though I can't quite picture right now exactly how close that overpass is. But really, no matter where they did it something would be better than nothing.

 

[Daemon]

broad actually looks a bit more like a man with this haircut

 

[Zinzan]

Lol, I remember NZ hit 2 fours off him in the T20 WC that were dead-balled.

 

[Zinzan]

Poor approach from Guptill here. Should be looking to hit straight and long.

 

[Zinzan]

Don't mind that from Rutherford, 18 off 11 is handy on debut.

Ugh, don't remind me.

Definitely - trying to nudge a ball fine like before is not his game. England bowlers quick enough to get the ball up around the splice of the bat though - not overpitching to Guptill's strength.

Nicely hit McCullum.

 

[Zinzan]

Wonder if anyone let Guptill know they needed more than 10 per over this evening.
