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

[Гурин]

Taylor is a pretty poor fielder in general. Not great around the park and, as you say, he drops a lot of easy catches.

70 catches in 45 matches. If he's so poor then the NZ bowlers must be the most unlucky ever, producing such an amount of edges so that Taylor can snatch nearly two catches per match.

Enough to book return flights to the UK and tickets for the first test at Lords.

Blimey.

 

[Bahnz]

Blimey.

Yeah I know. I think I'm going to shut my bet365 account down after this match, regardless of the result. I've developed a severe gambhiring addiction.

 

[BackFootPunch]

This first half hour is a huge period. Need a wicket or two here.

 

[Jarquis]

****ing hell Bahnz mate.

 

[James]

The excuses starting in the commentary box saying we batted too long. Need to somehow keep the faith.

 

[straw man]

Coney making a point on the radio that our slips are tempting fate by standing too close - giving themselves a chance on the low catches but a risk of the regular catches coming too quickly and bursting through hands.

 

[BackFootPunch]

Timmeh!!!!

 

[Flem274*]

SOMEONE WHO CAN CATCH z

 

[straw man]

Yuss!!!! And Southee picks up Boult's wicket again!

 

[Mike5181]

Yes!

 

[Meridio]

****ing hell yes!!! I was literally just typing that it was looking like it wasn't swinging. Yes!

Please please please get Prior early.

 

[Bahnz]

They certainly did seem to flash through very quickly.

ROSSS!!!!! Showing the rest of these jokerz how to catch!

 

[straw man]

That should settle the nerves. Settles mine, though I would have preferred Bell. Just break the Bell/Prior partnership and that's it I think.

 

[Howsie]

Huzah, love you Southee.

 

[Flem274*]

Prior don't be a meanie plz

 

[Cabinet96]

I hope we see here a repeat of what happened a few times in India/SL - a batsman gets dropped off Boult and a few overs later Southee picks him up.

Gold star for you.

Yeah, and if England was 250/0 they'd be saying the declaration was too generous.

Good catch by Taylor. Always a safe pair of hands.
