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

[KiWiNiNjA]

Finally!

.....the Bell has gifted his wicket!


Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

 

[BeeGee]

That's the big wicket. Game on.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

What a huge wicket. Bell would be absolutely shattered.

 

[Jezroy]

Let's hate on Wagner some more, it get's him fired up.

"Go back to South Africa, you medium pace, pie chucking ****!"

 

[Jarquis]

See, **** you all Kiwis. You've been one wicket away from it being a formality all afternoon.

Bell the nearly man again. Does the majority of the work but be there at the end once in a while man.
Obviously can't fault him. Done far better than anyone else but it is just soooo him to get out at such a crucial time after doing so well for so long.

 

[James]

What a bloody legend! Top stuff Wagner!

 

[Viscount Tom]

No chance of Broad repeating his 160 odd vs Pak is there...

 

[_Ed_]

Incredible innings from Ian Bell tbf.

For sure. Really gutsy. Full credit to him.

 

[Burgey]

Jeez, talk about a timely wicket. Could be a cracking finish this.

 

[Zinzan]

Handy wicket that. Makes for a damn exciting last session now. Still, the ball is hardly new anymore and the pitch still seems flat, so I'd still say it's 50/50. Don't put it past Broad and Anderson to hang around with Prior.

 

[Flem274*]

I'll forgive you for being the fourth best left armer in the country if you do this Wagner.

c'd. all is forgiven.

this has been a really good spell from him.

 

[_Ed_]

See, **** you all Kiwis. You've been one wicket away from it being a formality all afternoon.

But there have been times in the past where that one wicket has never come.

And there have been other times when Glenn McGrath has scored 61.

 

[Mike5181]

Southee/Boult have had a decent rest as well. They can have a decent go at Broad after tea now.

 

[theegyptian]

If there is anything worse than Broad's use of referrals it's his batting when he needs to defend for a draw.

 

[straw man]

Wow, got back to my computer to see cricinfo says 237/6 and I think it's really looking difficult now... and then it refreshes and it's 237/7. YESSSS

 

[Senile Sentry]

About time! Wagner really fired up in the last couple of overs.

That said, the pitch is a Kiera Knightley. If Broad can hang on, it's England's match to lose now.

Incredible innings from Ian Bell tbf.

yeah this. in 12 months when half the forum is calling him gutless again for having one match saving performance in his career i think this innings, even if ultimately unsuccessful (and England still have a chance here), deserves reference.

[straw man]

I'd still say it's 50/50

I'd say it's 2:1 for win:draw now. Though can almost guarantee the first 15 overs after tea will be wicketless to make it as agonizing as possible either way.
