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

[Viscount Tom]

Weather forecast was pretty poor initially anyway which I think did for some people.

Also it is Leeds and its probably the only place where yo can have 4 different climates in the space of a square mile.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

With the length of the tail the follow on shouldn't be saved. Can't see it mattering though as England will bat.

 

[Flem274*]

could someone be not terrible and score a ton please?

looking at you KW

 

[GIMH]

The fact is that most people will only be able to go to a couple of day's international cricket each year, it's an expensive day out all things considered. In an Ashes summer that's where people are going to buy their tickets, whereas in all other years it'd be a case of looking at what's nearest and cheapest

 

[hendrix]

still those hard hands in defense from Guptill.

Just not test quality I'm afraid.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

lol. turning off TMS until we start doing well again, this is pathetic

 

[Flem274*]

dat lunge

ahaha

we want watling

 

[Spark]

ok that is a jaffa

 

[GIMH]

That Is brilliant from Swann!!!

 

[Jarquis]

Swann's first wicket(s) against NZ and at this ground

 

[luckyeddie]

So now Sky are showing replays. Oh, wait.....

 

[hendrix]

ummm yup.

Really not seeing much drift.

This is very poor.

 

[_Ed_]

 

[Spark]

but seriously. bat and pad together ffs

 

[BoyBrumby]

Opening batsmen and spin is always ripe for hilarity, eh?

Guppers's technique is shocking against the turning ball tho, it must be said.

 

[Spark]

ummm yup.

Really not seeing much drift.

This is very poor.

Neither. It's just turning very sharply from the rough, which apparently is more than enough...

 

[thierry henry]

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Lyon is better than Swann though so we best watch out later in the summer.

Some start to a spell by him.

 

[Flem274*]

still those hard hands in defense from Guptill.

Just not test quality I'm afraid.

yep

 

[wellAlbidarned]

They're good balls. But that just shouldn't clean bowl a top order batsman playing a defense stroke.
