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

[Pothas]

Heh, the truth comes out. Always suspected you liked these days as an excuse to have a good whinge

Nah not really a whinge. more revelling in our own incompetence.

 

[Jezroy]

Interesting shot of Mrs Hesson doing throwdowns to McCullum Jnr.

And they aren't mates at all are they...

 

[Flem274*]

get them oooouuuutttttt

 

[Pothas]

Yes the Jimmy reverse sweep!!!!

 

[straw man]

England setting themselves up for a 50 run lead here

Nah not really a whinge. more revelling in our own incompetence.

Yeah, know that feeling - nothing like some good handwringing. Those Ozzies are taking to it quite nicely too itbt

 

[Flem274*]

Get two pacemen on and hit them in the head. This partnership could get them to 200 at this rate which is unacceptable after they were 7 for nothing.

 

[straw man]

Btw who missed the catch at mid-on before? And we missed a run-out too? A bit of sloppyness doesn't help with our usual propensity to have the opposition tail wag.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Don't worry about the tail wagging - it's only showing up the regular batsmen, and showing the pitch is flattening out (not that it were ever green). Score is massively under par at this stage.

gg wagner

if they want to slog, bounce the ****s

 

[Furball]

Yes the Jimmy reverse sweep!!!!

And the mystery of why he took that run straight to Taylor is solved

Is it just me or is Jimmeh's footwork to the spinners better than most in the team? By which I mean that he's quite positive in his footwork whether he's going forward or back.

**** sake, decide to pump out half an hour on the bike, as soon as I come off it Finn gets out.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Meh, tailenders smashing the ball to the boundary.

Frustrating, but it should make the NZ openers feel good.

Don't forget the LBW on Broad that they didn't DRS.

we're NZ though. Our collapses don't follow the usual rules.

Please do. Jimmeh will ton up playing shots to third man.

 

[Pothas]

Come on a couple of Monty boundaries here please, 180 would be a decent result from where we were.

 

[Jezroy]

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.

Currently has 4 wickets and going for 3.8...

 

[Flem274*]

yay theyre gone.

hope this isn't our only good innings of the series.

 

[straw man]

Well...

Have to be very happy with that. Now it will be very interesting to see how we bat and how England bowl.

 

[Pothas]

Good work lads, game advanced etc.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

167!

Guesses on NZ end of day total?
