Appendix 2.2 - if the umpire reviews his own decision then the third umpire has no discretion to bring LBW into the picture. Clears that up but also suggests that umpires can only review if doubt over ball carrying or bump ball, rather than inside edges.

Yeah he obviously just cheated on the latter part of that.

Yeah fair cop. We don't mind taking it on the chin...we have long memories (and we'll need them... because i'm not confident about Headingley now)..
Not sure. There was a low catch checked the other day (off Watling's glove?) where the third umpire took it upon himself to check that he actually hit it.
NZ have themselves to blame for finding themselves in this position. They had several opportunities to put England out of the match but never did. Dominating for four days and still losing.
Also, I am not sure what you guys think but for me I always feel in test cricket if you win the toss you should always bat first. You might get the ball seaming for couple of hours the first morning but then it usually evens out. I always feel the team batting last is always at a disadvantage in test cricket because of scoreboard pressure. If you are set 350 to win the likelihood of getting them is slim and the best you could come out with is a draw. But the ball misbehaves and low bounce comes into the equation. This is especially true if there isn't much between the two teams.

Have a better feeling about this particular side, they did come back very well in the UAE after being trounced in the first test. The bowlers at least should return with a clear idea of what corrections to make. Batting less certain admittedly.
Craig's made a strong case for himself to be left out in favour of Wagner. But have a feeling they'll stick with him seeing he's been similarly under the pump on the last two tours and responded well.

At least this pair are getting into line unlike Craig and Southee were. Certainly not running to square leg like Broad does anyway.
And next two balls he has a heave lol

Getting behind it more than the others mentioned though, they are tailenders after all. Not meant to save games are they.

Well it is a good reality check for McCullum and Hesson. Didn't watch all of the bowling effort but got the feeling at times they often ran in and just expected the magic ball to come along and do the trick (recent success getting into the heads possibly). McCullum also might consider consider backing off with the all-out-aggression a bit earlier with both captaincy and bat.

Yeah, the thing is that in test cricket we haven't been anywhere near as hyper-aggressive as has been made out as a result of how we played in the World Cup. We've been attacking, but not to the point of over-attacking for the sake of it. I can't remember the last time we've so consistently been hit at 4 or 5 an over over an extended period of time. That's partly the result of simply bowling too many four balls, but there's a field placement element to that too.
