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

[BeeGee]

It was mentioned yesterday in the media that NZ wanted to bowl first while Engerland wanted to bat first.

That works.

Now watch McCullum win the toss and bat first.

EDIT: I also like your use of the word "Engerland". I like it and I wish to use it everyday conversation.

Won the toss and NZ are bowling.

Bartin in ahead of Butler.

And Swann out with sore elbow - Monty in.

Big chance this for Panesar. A good performance could be a major step towards him becoming the frontline spinner.

 

[Blakey]

That works.

While different sports "Engerland" makes me think football world cup, Gazza and lost opportunities. Purfect.

Three seamers and a spinner just feels thin, especially considering one of them is wagner. We really do need that safety net of an extra full-time pacer for our attack to threaten imo.

Wagner to take 4fer in one innings and got at 4 rpo in the other.

I think Wagner in a good innings would go for 4 rpo, and in his bad innings could go for over 5.

So keen for a new Test series. Buzzing

Bad light to delay the start. Need the scarfies to set some couches on fire.

Umpires are checking the light.

Don't blow a fuze too early.

Hesscum heard your beta male lack of intent was exposed by Tim Seifert, they say you couldn't be more wrong on that.

TBF, i think he said the right things here.

He needs to get his wrist position right so he gets some swing again and isn't ruining the shine for the other bowlers.

But jesus Bracewell. Really dents our chances

 

[hendrix]

**** light at 10:30am it is easily bright enough ****

[hendrix]

sorry, I'm in Dunedin and this is nowhere near dark enough to delay play. This is kinda ridiculous.

I can almost understand this in some hazy polluted city but really it's a red ball in grey conditions, plenty of contrast.

If it was an old faded ball maybe there'd be a point but this is silly

 

[NZTailender]

Gloomy but not bad enough to lose the red ball. Quite warm too. Should swing a treat.

 

[Howe_zat]

Anyone seen the track yet?

...I can see this is going to take some getting used to

 

[Cabinet96]

Fuming. Nothing worse than the first session of a test series being delayed. Especially when it's the only session you can watch all day. Completely ruined my day.

 

[NZTailender]

Broke a sweat walking from Polytech to home just now. Not cold imo.
