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

[Flem274*]

-Excellent innings from McCullum after a start that would have earned him some rage if he didn't do exactly this. Captains knock after the bloopers.
-Guptill . Such a gun bloke. Hope he eventually comes good in all forms.

 

[Zinzan]

Lol, After watching that, maybe Guptill should bat further down the order

 

[thierry henry]

Guptill 24*(10) in his second innings

Lost it in with the batting really.

I'd say you lost it when you should have won easily with about 4 overs to go and completely choked tbh

 

[Dick Rockett]

Wow! Just like that eh? Great stuff from McCullum and Guptill.

 

[Briony]

Well done kiwis!

trotts fault iirc

 

[thierry henry]

Are they rooting?

yes

 

[thierry henry]

Amazing how the BCs overcame Williamson's innings to win there

 

[Bahnz]

Any word on what's wrong with Mitch McC?

 

[Howe_zat]

Brilliant win (almost). I thought we were dead and buried before.

Why? The total was under par, the run rate never got out of control, you never run out of batsmen.

It look difficult when Franklin got out but NZ were never out of this.

The choke being selecting a side without many decent death bowlers?

S'pose so

I think it's fair to say when we needed 40 off 25 or whatever it was with a cripple and a bowler to come that we were ****ed and one more wicket would have sealed the England victory. Didn't have high hopes for the injured batsman.

When we needed 104 off 12 overs and were effectively 6 down you were right on top

Any word on what's wrong with Mitch McC?

His wickets with the ball were a big reason for this win. I am gutted he is injured.

 

[Spikey]

has his revenge

Mills and Franklin evens it out tbf. Plus, no Dernbach.

Despite what happened today I think we'll see some big runs at the death in this series.
