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

We talking declaration or enforcing the follow on?

Both. Maybe could have declared at lunch but not fussed really. Not bad when people criticise you for dominating a match is it?

 

[Days of Grace]

Has McCullum actually ever scored some clutch runs apart from the double century in India?

Look for Southee to hit one up in the air. Rolleyes. Useless ****s.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

You'd be annoyed if you paid 5 pounds to get in, and then an hour later its free to get in.

Presume that if you have paid you will be able to get money back if you hand your ticket in.

 

[Zinzan]

Lol @ NZ & the freebie wickets they continue to give away. Even innocuous full-tosses get wickets.

It's Yorkshire mate. 5 quid is a weeks wages.

It happens every time a team declares and/ or doesnt ebdorce a follow on and time becomes an issue.

Exactly, if they hadn't lost day 1 it wouldn't be an issue. The fact people are moaning about not finishing a game in 3 days play is laughable.

Fair question. Plenty in ODIs, but, yeah, struggling to think of any in Tests off the top of my head.

 

[Zinzan]

Hehe, the wee ginger kid running around the outfield in kind of odd looking.

 

[Jono]

Southee hooking with rain coming is humorous.

 

[Burgey]

That's a great shot

 

[_Ed_]

Current partnership 50 runs, 5.5 overs, RR: 8.57

 

[Burgey]

Swann serving up pies in between some good 'uns. Damp ball not helping.

 

[Flametree]

If these guys keep going like this for an hour, Cook will wish he'd batted on a couple more hours...

 

[Bahnz]

Go for the win boys! We've got'em on the run!

 

[Zinzan]

Interesting that Southee has more 6s (35) than Ross Taylor (30) in about half the number of test matches.

 

[_Ed_]

Ah well, fun while it lasted.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well done Swann a Michelle at Headingley is a good effort.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Oh well that is probably that. Fingers crossed they do get on and finish it but not the end of the world if they don't.

Called him to break Gilchrist's record a while back. Still reckon he'll make it easily given how he still plays.
