*Official* New Zealand in England 2015

[flibbertyjibber]

Should be looking for a much bigger lead if we're still in at the close.

The evening session should be all about cashing in if they do the grunt work in the afternoon; particularly given England's batsmen to come the evening session could be carnage.

We need to walk before we can run. Long time to go yet.

There is something to mark craig that new zealand can work with, but right now he's too inaccurate, about as much as moeen ali honestly. Problem is that he's combining that with bowling too slowly. He uses flight but it feels more like the "slow loop" kind instead of actually getting the ball to dip due to the revs. Moeen bowls it faster and slightly flatter but seems to get genuine dip and drift.

55/0 from the last 10 overs - are we bowling tripe, or what?

Seems to be bowling more short balls than last season.

Edit: and pitching one ball an over down leg side.

We could still lose this heavily but a lot of good things have come out of this test match.

Craig has served up so many pies even Gatting would have been full.

Moeen also seems to have a knack for wickets (jammy or not). Which is obviously a bonus.

I though he bowled much better in this game than in the Caribbean.

Reckon Craig has been lucky not to concede a lot more. Beaten the bat a couple of times too though.

His bowling was pretty shocking in the windies, though to be fair he was coming back from an injury.

Still bowling to short though, like warne said.

 

[Furball]

This is out. Surprised they took so long.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

That's a crap review.

 

[Furball]

or not. He's hit this according to RTS.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I'm on a stream, can't tell.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Snicko shows he hit it.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

waste of a review

 

[LegionOfBrad]

It was always gonna be umps call when given not out. Hit him high on knee and he was in the air.

Well I thought there was a mark as it passed the bat but umpire obviously didn't. My jerky picture not good enough for those real tight ones though.

 

[morgieb]

waste of a review

When they've got a 100 run partnership and the last over before lunch, not really.

 

[vandem]

That's a crap review.

!?

Hit in line on back pad, worth a review.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

First session we have won in 2 days. Well played.
