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

[Howe_zat]

Think that's the first hundred I've been there for. Fine work

 

[GIMH]

Well played Cook lad

 

[MW1304]

Was a pretty hundred, for Cook, too.

 

[Jarquis]

Played. Conversion rate becoming a real strength.

Na na na na na na na na na

Ali Ali Cook , Ali Cook , Ali Ali Cook

Hundredth at hundred headingley. Happarantly.

 

[GIMH]

Hundredth at hundred headingley. Happarantly.

Good to see you've got on the beer early

 

[flibbertyjibber]

England players finding some nice form ahead of Champions Trophy/Ashes. Good to see the improved performance after last week.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

at least they're not teasing with false hope for a change

 

[BoyBrumby]

Said in yesterday's paper Root only the fifth Yorkshireman to ton up at Headingley.

Guess Sutcliffe, Hutton & Boycs are givens, but dunno who the fourth would be. Vaughan?

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Could declare now tbh.

Ouch for NZ.

Probz true tho.

Sutcliffe didn't, was Jackson and Vaughan.

 

[Zinzan]

Haha, been so busy with a work project it's the first time I've checked in since NZ were 50 without loss last night. What a debacle, back to our usual batting implosions I see, meanwhile England look like they could bat for 5 days against us. Embarrassing....then again, what's new. Any chance NZ had of convincing the ICC and other boards they deserve anything more than 2 tests series against half decent sides should be well & truly gone based on the last two tests. We deserve our ranking of 8th.

Yep. Thought it might have been Leyland for a minute.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Shot.

Rank half-volley, but beautifully put away.

Obviously I'm jinxing him into a wicket here, but Bracewell doesn't look the bowler he was when he was skittling the crims 18 months back.

Has his injury and/or refuelling habits had an effect?

 

[MW1304]

Cook has converted every 50 he has made into 100 since he's become captain, awesome.

Remember, he was bowling against us.

You know you've ****ed up royally when Warner carries his bat through an innings.

I'll be fair on him and say lack of cricket has made him look as poor as Bairstow did in India and NZ in the winter. Hard to have no cricket then come into a test match and perform.

Huh. Would've put good money on Herb being one.

Presumption the curse of mankind, etc...
