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

[Hurricane]

Bell looking to up it soon.

And he hits a four.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

oh what a dream commentary partnership

 

[Prensel]

Mills good start to be ruined by bowling him out too late like always?

 

[straw man]

I prefer it to the blue TBH, could take some getting used too, ideally I'd prefer them to go for predominantly white with trims, not only keeping the tradition of white clothing, but being similar to other sports shirts, and being different.

Sounds very snazzy.

Advantage of the red is that if Mills gets too hot and firey they can get their hoses out to cool him down

Or they could play like Zimbabwe - that would work too

 

[Zinzan]

cricinfo said Dan was playing??

They also said Taylor would be captain

 

[superkingdave]

Another funereal start by England.

 

[Hurricane]

We've given away the following runs unneccessarily

That leg glance for four
Mills on the boundary
a Wide

Make that 7 runs so far

 

[Zinzan]

Rubbish start from NZ, way too many easy runs. England to post 330 and to win by around 150 runs.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Another funereal start by England.

You were saying.

45-0 off 10 isn't bad at this time of year. Bet that isn't beaten too often in Champions Trophy in terms of a good platform.

 

[Zinzan]

Cook has this uncanny ability of getting beaten 50000 times before ever edging one, probably due to the fact he doesn't push out at it. Whereas someone like Guptill always seesm to find the edge straight away.


Edit: disgusting shot Ian Bell

 

[Days of Grace]

McCullum to bat no.6. That's his position.

If we can somehow avoid being 20/2 after 12 overs, then I am quietly confident of our chances in this format.

 

[Dan]

Cook - technical weakness against left-armers or just coincidence that the guys who have bowled well at him use the other arm?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Bell in not cashing in shocker.

 

[Flem274*]

lol bell

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Oops Bell, not a good shot.

 

[Hurricane]

Yuss,

I hope Trott goes into his shell.

 

[Hurricane]

Did he reverse cup that?

 

[Dan]

Good footwork by Ronchi - many an international 'keeper would have felt the need to dive for that.

I said that when they were going at 4 an over and they are still going at 4 an over...and they just used up all the powerplay. Maybe I am being harsh as the outfield at Lords is diabolical at the moment, but solid starts aren't going to win us the CT

 

[Zinzan]

Dear Kyle Mills,

Please remove the concrete from your cricket boots, you move like a pregnant slug.

Thanks in advance
