*Official* New Zealand in England 2015

[CaptainGrumpy]

No Boult. No Milne. No Anderson.

Santner batting at 6. Wheeler at 8.

Looks like a fairly weak line up.
Hope the new players do well.

This type of injury MAY be due to wear and tear (or admittedly a number of other reasons) if so then resting him may have been preventative.

Personally I would like to see a whole different bowling attack for limited overs cricket (except at world cup time).

So you don't play Boult in ODIs at all (outside the WC)?

This kind of stuff is totally captain hindsight. He's played two tests, and two one dayers. A key player in his mid 20s should be expected to carry that sort of workload.

According to Cricinfo, stress pain in the back, going to get scans. Not good.

ffs.

 

[Zinzan]

Excellent start England. Bit in this wicket if the bowlers can get it right.

I called for it before the series started tbf, tbh, and tb anything else that is an acronym.

Southee has been largely rubbish on this tour and is continuing on in the same vein today

Want to ban them from the ipl and T20I too?

 

[Niall]

Can't believe Brendon McCullum called the first two pitches "outstanding cricket wickets". Err no that would imply there was a genuine contest between bat and ball.

to be fair the second game was an absolute cracker and the public loved it bar the silly finish.

Joe Public pays the bills.

Nicely bowled

 

[Zinzan]

Well done Wheeler. Looks like more than decent bowling conditions out there.

 

[CaptainGrumpy]

Well bowled Timmy.

 

[Flem274*]

oh wow this is on

wish it was last night where i could stay up and watch

 

[Flem274*]

how has wheeeeelllleeerr bowled?

 

[Zinzan]

how has wheeeeelllleeerr bowled?

Not bad. Has a handy sharpish bouncer & has been more impressive than Southee thus far.

 

[Flem274*]

never trust a southee review. bit nervous

 

[African Monkey]

Geez Ben Wheeler has an identical action to Andy Mckay.

 

[Prince EWS]

WASP brashly predicting 300 from here. I'd love to have a chat with the guys who worked on that programme...

 

[Flem274*]

ooooh pad first. southee might have done it

sigh
