*Official* New Zealand in England 2015

Ah, no, cricinfo tells me Watling's come out to bat?

 

[Chewie]

Anyone know what the status of Anderson and Watling is re. injuries? Was Anderson on the field this morning?

Anderson wasn't on the field

 

[flibbertyjibber]

McCullum bottled it then, doesn't fancy it.

 

[straw man]

so this is going well

we'll be 30/4 before numbers 5,6,7,8 pile on the runs, because symmetry

 

[Gnske]

McCullum fleeing from clutch-player supremo.

 

[SteveNZ]

is that allowed BJ hasnt been on the field?

My first thought too

 

[GIMH]

Cook's negative captaincy leaves NZ hiding their attacking players

 

[Neil Pickup]

is that allowed BJ hasnt been on the field?

Someone double check the laws on this one?

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Isn't it the external/internal injury issue or has that gone?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

in shock news, stuart broad still a good bowler

Just takes him an age to find form after injury. Taking him longer each time now he is getting older.

Must admit I was beginning to wonder if he was going to come back this time as he had played a lot of cricket and not found any form but this match he seems back on it.

 

[dermo]

that was pretty village from taylor tbh

 

[Gnske]

Would a drinking game revolving around each time Ian Smith says " a wee bit" be fatal to any participants?

Not the worst timing, with the Aussies arring any minute now.

Think that's it.

Shane Warne hasn't commentated on 33 Tests. He's commentated on the same Test 33 times.

I don't mind the decision to bat BJ ahead of McCullum in this situation tbh. Horses for courses.

I'd prefer he didn't bowl himself back into form against NZ, but a good sign for the Ashes. Us Kiwis normally support two teams, 1st choice New Zealand, 2nd choice anyone playing Australia.

Probably everyone except Ian Smith.

 

[Zinzan]

lol good point Nassar... what's with the 3rd man?

 

[vic_orthdox]

Pretty clearly everyone in the team is happy with the plan to Williamson.

I just think it's a shot that you don't mind him playing before 20/30.
