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

Doesn't seem to be any swing, good sign for us

 

[Furball]

So much for Onions.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Looks like we will lose this. Ooops

 

[straw man]

Consecutive 50+ opening stands for a New Zealand team? Something is wrong.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Rutherford goes 56-1

NEWS, Neil Wagner added to #BLACKCAPS Test Squad #NZvENG #ANZTest #cricket

 

[flibbertyjibber]

No surprise that Wagner got the nod. Broad gets in on the act now 57-2

 

[Kippax]

Chose the cold Cachopa, didn't pay off.

Order is restored in the world.

Double failure for Carl Cachopa. His first innings dismissal was in the highlights package and looked very much like a man that can't play the short ball.

 

[Kippax]

Haha, yeah it did indeed. The Stags were stupid in their use of Chops at six during the T20 though, completely cooled him off. Left him dwelling on what Otago meant when they said they'd seen footage and he was no longer going to be a thing.

 

[Bahnz]

If Latham makes a score here he could yet put pressure on Ruds.

 

[straw man]

He could do but I hope not as for NZ openers at the moment, first innings runs >>>>>>>> second innings runs.

 

[Mike5181]

It's not like Rutherford failed in the second innnings anyway.

 

[Flametree]

If anyone's interested, there's a nice article from Mike Selvey in the Guardian today on Hadlee and how a short run might help Finn. A few interesting comments on it as well.

Broom proving he's not too dusty after that blow to the noggin

*edit: ****ing **** **** jinx

 

[ohnoitsyou]

ouch double blow

 

[Flem274*]

Nooo Brownlie . This is starting to go downhill.

Pretty impressed this side has stayed with England for 3 and a half days though. I expected a walkover. NZ XI don't have enough wickets left to win against players of this quality but I hope they go for it and lose/draw with respectability.

 

[Cabinet96]

Shaping into a very intriguing finish here.

srsly.

I will be happy if the black caps manage a performance like this.

 

[hendrix]

we need to not lose any more wickets before the new ball, then we'll actually have a genuine shot.
