*Official* New Zealand in England 2015

[Athlai]

Taking out the trash. Baz WAG

 

[artvandalay]

of course the trouble with playing this way is even if Nzl score 400, at the rate they're going England will still have enough time to get them on a pitch which had rewarded stroke play.

Noooo internet dying dont know what's happening.

Doesn't matter, you are 2-0 down in the series, better off giving the chance to create a result. Whatever result.

That's the point nz have to chase the series

 

[Moss]

Playing well Guppy. Stay hungry (but not foolish).

 

[Athlai]

Crazy stat.

3rd time in history that a NZ opening pair has passed 50 twice each in the same series.

Dowling/Murray vs India in 1968
Richardson/Bell vs Pakistan in 2001
Guptill/Latham vs England in 2015

280 is absolute limit of what we can chase IMO. Need McCullum early.

 

[Athlai]

Guptill and the NZ middle order

 

[mightymariner]

Great fielding from Stokes.

 

[Athlai]

I'll cop that one. FFS.

 

[91Jmay]

Wood with another wicket. Certainly something about him we can build with.

 

[Athlai]

Bat till the end of today and I'm feeling confident.

 

[Swingpanzee]

fuarkk game's even right now. Crucial partnership this.

 

[91Jmay]

Another great session from both sides. Superb series this, shame it clashes with an Ashes series. Rather 5 Tests against these than those Indian shunts.

Ah didn't realise we were so behind in overs from that session. 45 overs supposedly left to go today.

If we get that I'd say we'd be about 320ish.

Game still in the balance though, anything from 200-400 still possible for England to chase.

Yeah. Need these two to settle in. Ronchi was immense in the first innings but wouldn't want to rely on him 2nd time around.

Probably Guptill's best test innings to date? Also, with a pair of 70's and two ducks the question marks remain, but he's gone better than Rutherford would have probably.

Rutherford wouldn't have scored 50 in total her.e

 

[harsh.ag]

Guppy trying to be James Bond.

 

[Cabinet96]

Watling doing the wicket keeper playing as an ultra-aggressive batsman much better than McCullum at the moment.
