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

Why has your most economical bowler only had three overs? Is Franklin injured?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I can't remember New Zealand being as bad in the field before. One thing you always knew was they would be tidy in the field at least. What they have shown so far in this tour has been comedy gold.

If only Baz had been wearing gloves...


... oh wait.

They've been very good on the ground from what I've seen. Far too many drops for some reason.

Too be far to Baz, he did take an absolute stunner in the last match.

But was still pretty gash.

blame the coach.

Nup, nothing wrong with him.

 

[Tricia McMillan]

I nearly said something stupid and posted "this match has been a little short for a ODI, we're only 6 hours into it" but I had lost track of time.

And of course, the commentators just harping on about the 7 balls NZ missed out on at the end. Not the 60 odd they wasted at the start.

 

[Jono]

Williamsons action. Not great.

Bowling around the wicket not great either

Only 60?

 

[Howe_zat]

Root's turning out to be a superb cricketer.

 

[straw man]

That McCullum drop was lolworthy - didn't even get a gloved finger on it did he?

But yeah, 20-30 runs shy of a reasonable score and England have far too many reliable top order batsmen when it comes to chasing modest scores.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So who does KP replace to get back in the side?

Can't drop Root, guy looks made for this level. Taken to it like a duck to water considering hardly anyone would have picked him in the first place.

 

[stumpski]

50 for Trott - as usual, it's hard to remember one shot he's played - but he's scoring at a decent lick tbf, and doing the job.

Seems to me that we are not spending enough time practicing fielding. Based only on how many we drop.

Morgan?

Benchy what are your thoughts on Trott's new balance bat?

More gun fielding on the boundary. One dropped catch does not "comedy" make
