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

Or maybe Boult's injury was related to the lack of rest he got between finishing off England in the morning and bowling again in the afternoon. Our bowlers must miss getting a nice day to put their feet up occasionally. Though I suppose they still get plenty of those when we lose in 3 and a half days.

cbf getting wound up. theres no point because the batsmen arent going to repay the faith on a consistent basis any time soon. it's been almost ten years since we had a decent batting line up.
Random emotions in no particular order
a) Its starting to wear thin.
b) At least at home we aren't as bad I guess.
c) England at home in May were always going to be tough.

How popular is grassroots cricket for young kids (say under 14s)?
some of the younger NZ posters may know more than me. According to my team mates there were 4 times as many junior teams in the 1980s for my club side.

However - cricket is still popular just based on the number of kids teams I see using our pitch on a Saturday before I take the field.

Under 14s would be alright. It's actually later on that we lose the top quality athletes to rugby.

Oh yeah they do the overall match over there don't they. This one would just be the 2nd innings.

That is tomorrow, today is fine. Need to declare just after lunch to have time to win it today, the snail batting by Trott means we can't.

Why couldn't Trott have batted like this yesterday instead of boring the pants off everyone?

Good to see some urgency early in the day. Get 450 in front and declare.
