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

[flibbertyjibber]

98 over day with play allowed to go on till 7pm.

 

[GIMH]

We'll have a bat then.

 

[Howe_zat]

Sunshine, lolliops & rainbows, England bat

We'll have a bat then.

A good result for television.

this is more or less the dream NZ bowling lineup tbh. Kinda nervous, never actually though it would happen

 

[Cabinet96]

So, can they play 30 minutes later and have more overs scheduled?

I've seen them play as late as 7:30pm before in England. They always catch up in the evening in England. As Fred said, there's always dew in the morning, and sun set isn't till 9:18 in Leeds this time of year.

Not the dream conditions though.

Not the dream conditions though.

Conditions are so, so, overrated. It's just something analysts use to give the illusion of knowing something. It's often down to how much the players let the conditions get to their heads. Not saying they're never influential, but how much water is in the atmosphere a few kilometers upwards doesn't mean nearly as much as everyone says. They'll be fine.

Having a bit of shine will probably be good tbh so we don't freeze in the field.

Note to self - in future attempt to find a working "Television" more than three minutes before the scheduled start

 

[Pothas]

Seen it plenty of times now but still have no idea what that thing they have built at Headingley is.

By conditions I also meant the pitch, but I see your point.

cant work out whether i think compton or trott seems like a more boring bloke.

Think Trott has a kind of alien like charm.

Compton is just SO intense.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

buet!

 

[Cabinet96]

Compton

Compo is good looking though, this must be the most studly opening partnership ever, if I was female, I'd be swooning just about now.

Oh dear that's poor.

I have no clue what the pitch is like tbh so talking out of my arse on that one. With two good bowling attacks almost any surface will be a result pitch though.

 

[Howe_zat]

I am not a happy camper Compo

The precipice beckons

 

[Riggins]

hey pews what bets do you have on this game.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Lovely nut, tbf, drew Compton into a shot that wasn't there.

Compton doing a convincing job of looking unconvincing.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Oh dear, pressure cranks up on Compton then.
