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

This should make for some interesting catch-up viewing

This is a bit rubbish, not even that we have bowled badly.

Think that our batting effort today actually surpasses those in the UAE.

You have bowled pretty badly though. A lot of leg stump pies.

Awkward chat with Francis Payne is back.

Who is this guy and why would anyone think that he has the personality for tv?

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Yup, knows his *** Francis, but is about as articulate as Ian Jones with a mouthful of dry weetbix

**** commentating when you can play with spreadsheets and pie charts all day and still watch the game

When the ball swings in this series, Fulton won't last long unless his play/leave judgement improves a lot.

Yep best venue of the series for Fulton by a long way I think, 102 and 108 so far in FC this summer in Dunedin.

Since Richardson retired - 66 tests, 117 innings, 18 50 partnerships for the 1st wicket.

Partnership records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo

Average just over 27.

Think Finn has been decent. Jimmy is massively pissed off that he had to bowl at all.

Time for some Monty for sure.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Big day out for Monty P... so Eng can always look on the bright side of life

 

[Jezroy]

I wonder how many different turbans Monty owns.

 

[Spark]

Ouch

 

[Mike5181]

Hahahahaha. It's smacked that guy right in the head.

Warren Lees: "A press statement from the NZC has just come out saying that that spectator wasn't hit at all."

PARTNERSHIP WATCH - 8th highest opening stand since Richardson retired.

Only one vs Zim or Bang ahead of it.

 

[WindieWeathers]

Goodness me!!.. what the hell is going on here? took a nap when England were only one down and seemingly doing ok, only to wake up and see NZ are p#ssing all over them!!, when i saw the two NZ batsmen out there at first i thought the day had been rained off and they were showing replays!! .

England can still get back into this but my gosh have they dugg themselves a massive hole here!!.. the Kiwis must be in dreamland right now!! .

If they can keep NZ's first innings lead down to around 60 they can still get a result but anything over that and it'll look very bleak indeed.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

50 on debut!

Now quadruple it!

 

[Flem274*]

well played hamish
