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

[Bahnz]

Having said that, I don't think that was a smart review. Wasn't a howler by any means.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Considering how badly we need to get Cook it was a fair punt. Got a spare might as well use it.

 

[Uppercut]

Ah I'd definitely have reviewed it. Looked out.

[Uppercut]

England are doing ok. No rush. These two are definitely at their best when they're not shy of boring the pants off everyone.

Cook is is a significantly more vital wicket when England are playing away. At home he's just another wicket.

God this England team are boring.

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah, maybe. Agree it should've been given in the first place. Beat the inside edge. Not a big stride. Hit on the knee role. Not much bounce in the pitch. Disappointing for Boult.

Hit slightly above the knee roll. Can definitely understand why it wasn't given.

 

[Bahnz]

I know I'm biased, and I accept that it wasn't plumb or anything, but still that should've been given.

Doesn't matter now anyway. Brilliant from Boult.

 

[Spark]

Quality bowling.

 

[Cabinet96]

Boult is a decent bowler isn't he.

 

[MW1304]

Great bowling. Deserved wicket. Him and Southee have been superb.

 

[Spark]

Seriously that's high quality bowling. Just a tiny bit of seam movement away having gotten Cook worried about the LBW for several overs. Great stuff.

 

[Uppercut]

New Zealand have been great. England can only dig in and hope they can't keep up this standard of bowling all day.

 

[Cabinet96]

I know I'm biased, and I accept that it wasn't plumb or anything, but still that should've been given.

I'm tempted to agree, however, the good thing about DRS is that it never incorrectly overturns an LBW. It probably doesn't overturn as much as it could, that one being the prime example, but that wouldn't have been out without it anyway.

Yeah, it reminds me of the technical problems Cook had when he was younger (well he still has them, just not the same extent.) He was happy getting across, and defending those under his eyes, but the worry about the LBW means he stays inside the line and pushes at balls on a 4th stump line as a result.

 

[Bahnz]

I'm tempted to agree, however, the good thing about DRS is that it never incorrectly overturns an LBW. It probably doesn't overturn as much as it could, that one being the prime example, but that wouldn't have been out without it anyway.

Yeah, fully agree. I have no problem with the DRS sticking with the umpires original decision.

Still don't like the inconsistency in the application of the DRS to out and not out lbw's though.

 

[Bahnz]

Thought that was worth a shout actually. Definitely completely deceived Bell there. Southee just hasn't been quite able to get his off cutter in the right spot today.

 

[Prince EWS]

Ian Bell will ton up here.

 

[Spark]

Ian Bell will ton up here.

Short extra cover to get his hands warm.
