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

[Uppercut]

Yeah, I was just about to say that it has to be absolutely perfect for it to be LBW when it's turning that much, from that angle. It's why I'd like Swann to go around the wicket a bit more than he does.

Yeah Swann always looks like he's putting the right-handers in a lot of trouble but it takes something a bit freakish or a poor shot to actually get them out. Whereas when he bowls to lefties he can get them out in all kinds of ways.

 

[Spark]

Footmarks mate, it's not India, he really needs to keep going over for mine.

Oh, he should definitely stay over, he just shouldn't be banking on many LBWs if he does.

 

[Cabinet96]

Swann puts a lot more on it when he bowls around the wicket too; pivots better and completes his action. It'd take the footmarks out of the equation though so I don't imagine he'll be doing it any time soon.

Yeah, I wasn't really suggesting he do it now. I just think he could do it more than he does in general. The last Sri Lanka tour probably being the prime example.

 

[Maximas]

Pakistan is about to beat Scotland too for anyone who's interested.

 

[Prince EWS]

Jimmy has produced some rubbish in his last couple of overs. Time for a change.

I created a separate thread for that.

 

[Prince EWS]

Brownlie look as convincing against spin as always...

 

[Maximas]

I created a separate thread for that.

Yeah, I mentioned it earlier today about the underdogs having a good day so I thought I'd provide some closure on that.

 

[Cabinet96]

WOW. Unexpected..

 

[Spikey]

A regular Matt Wade

Not been a red-letter match for Prior, then.

 

[Prince EWS]

Prior not having a happy game.

 

[Cabinet96]

Prior not having a great game. Quite ironic really.

 

[Maximas]

Ohh, sitter really, Prior's day isn't getting any better...

Good to see CW is original as always

 

[Cabinet96]

Maximas chipping in as well

 

[Cabinet96]

Wait, is McCullum supposed to be in poor form? I seem to remember him making plenty of runs when we were in New Zealand...

 

[Spikey]

prior ****ing performing like the useless ****er he used to be

 

[Prince EWS]

Wait, is McCullum supposed to be in poor form? I seem to remember him making plenty of runs when we were in New Zealand...

Well I guess he's only scored 1 run on this tour, but given he's only batted once on it and has scored five fifties in his last six international innings, it was a questionable comment.

 

[Meridio]

Still 25 overs to bowl according to Cricinfo. Given it's 5.45 already, can't really see that happening.
