*Official* New Zealand in England 2015

[91Jmay]

Rashid with a List A average of 19 looking like Viv Richards here. #howgoodisthiswicket

First class average of 35 with 9 tons is closer to his batting ability but it looks a belter for sure.

 

[Antihippy]

WTF does the IPL have anything to do with that?

 

[Zinzan]

If we can score so easily god knows what will happen when we bowl. Lose in 30 overs probably.

I can't recall a wicket that seems as easy to hit through the line.

Santa in the batting pp was an interesting move tstl.

Fair call, didn't know his FCR. That's not shabby.

Wheres NMac?

 

[91Jmay]

Fair call, didn't know his FCR. That's not shabby.

IIRC he averaged nearly 50 last couple of seasons. More useful as a bat than a bowler in FC cricket a lot of the time. Him bowling on here could be fun for NZ fans though.

Bizarre, does he not know Skyy have spent a fortune on it as well?

 

[Zinzan]

As good as the track is, this has been some horrendous PP bowling from NZ.

Ah... a slower ball.

 

[wpdavid]

Great comeback partnership. 350 an outside chance again if these two can get through to at least the 46th.

Yeah, it probably depends on these two staying together for a while yet. Entertaining stuff though.

This is basically a trial and practice match.

 

[Zinzan]

Jeez Buttler has some talent.

 

[91Jmay]

I think we are 5 bowlers short here.

[91Jmay]

Wow should have been run out there, poor from Matt Henry

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Can't give that.

 

[CaptainGrumpy]

Wheres tgat English fan who said England not score 330?

 

[Stace]

Buttler is our AB.

 

[Zinzan]

How bizarre is this innings. England looked to have utterly blown it at 6/202 after being 2/171, only for NZ to out-do them in the last 10 overs. Partnership 109 off 11.3 overs. 400+ on again.
