***Official*** England in New Zealand series 2013

[thierry henry]

Franklin actually has a look of effort and aggression on his face as he bowls atm

 

[thierry henry]

137kph????? Surely a speedo **** up

 

[Prince EWS]

HE BOWLED THAT AT 137KM/HR


It got hit for four but gawwwd. What is going on?

And now he's bowling pies, lol.

137kph filth? Here's the old school ODI Franklin in action!

No go away!

Probably bowling a really light ball anyway, so it's pretty much 127.

The old Franklin got pounded in ODIs every game, BUT!! he was a Test opening bowling genius.

Bring it baaaaack.

 

[Flem274*]

Wish he'd stop taking wickets at over 130kph because then we might have to put up with him batting at six in tests again.

Probably, he is quite skinny

Really wish we had a proper ground in Auckland. Eden Park is pathetic.

There was water cooler talk about making a proper test ground right in the CBD. With grass banks etc.

Hoping to get a big lunch/evening walk in crowd.

Would be damn cool but we all know nothing will happen.

Boult > Franklin with bat and ball

He can bat 11 for all I care, he should reclaim the opening bowling spot that is rightfully his.

 

[Prince EWS]

Bowling change? Noooo.

Yeah, Victoria park I think it was. I live about 100m away from it as well.

I may write a letter to the ICC asking them to remove the batting powerplay. It is too painful for fans to listen to commentators bleating on about how the batting team should take it early rather than waiting for over 36.

 

[thierry henry]

wtf was that Elliott

 

[thierry henry]

Trott 53*(74) and has been abused all the way through. Not that bad imo.

 

[grecian]

Oh c'mon lads I undersood the circumspection, before, but there's Morgan and Buttler to come now with few overs left, just thrash.

They used to go on and on about it right from the start of the innings. Not so much recently, but it is massively annoying. There is 50 overs ffs, stop focusing on just 5.

 

[Jarquis]

Doubling it after 30 gives 264.

Morgan and Buttler vs a long ass tail.

Place your bets.
