*Official* New Zealand in England 2015

God are NZ missing Are Vettori here. Desperately need McCullum to find form or its time to go looking for another tight spiner

Agreed.

Also Milne and Anderson both had their critics but watching their replacements, they are very important to this team.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

If that's the end its gutting.

Fantastic game of cricket.

**** off PA playing 'umbrella'

Vettori was oft out injured towards the end of his career, and NMac was the go to guy in his absence. Vettori came back for the WC as his swan-song. My point is that NZ are used to being without Vettori. Our issues are not confined to the spin dept - currently Boult is the only bowler looking the goods.

 

[Shortodds]

If thats it its a NZ escape. And I hope a lesson not to go into a game with 3 bowlers and two half spinners
.

Rain has saved England from the humiliation of chasing 399. Cannot succesfully chase those kinda scores without Kohli.

I'm not sure you get what the word humiliation means

 

[BeeGee]

Boooooooo. It was going to be a cracking finish.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

I've been watching on mute. I take it Plunkers over Jordan due to injury?

Read back. Im having a dig at Spark.

 

[Biryani Pillow]

Clouds higher where I am.

Still raining but light now.

Air much less oppressive than a while back.

The Oval should get that in 15-20 minutes

No, satan.

 

[Athlai]

What an English way to win.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Problem is they won't come back on unless it completely stopped once they have gone off.

 

[Athlai]

So I'm guessing it's a flat belter and beyond Bolut and patches of Southee we have bowled dross?
Didn't think we would miss Anderson quite so much with the ball.

Serious question, was anyone expecting Santner to be much above turdbucket status as a bowler?

We miss his allrounderness. He might have been smashed with the ball too. But poor Santner. Started so well. Only in his last ball did he learn to fire it in at the legs. Even then it was a little short. Poor kid. Might be rattled.

Howsie rated him highly.

 

[Biryani Pillow]

Sky much lighter in my 'hood.

Rain stopped.

Outside chance it'll allow a little more play.

With NZC you learn not so much to expect, but to hope. For every Kane and Trent there is a lot of rubbish.

Burp........
