330 is on

Neesham bowls some real innocuous dross in between the disciplined stuff.

It's the pace isn't it. If you are slightly off line or length the ball immediately looks filthy bad.

Neesham bowls some real innocuous dross in between the disciplined stuff.

Yeah it basically just comes down to the fact that he's a smart and talented cricketer with a **** action. His plans are good but his execution fails him quite a bit because his action isn't repeatable.

 

[Prince EWS]

God loves Corey.

 

[harsh.ag]

Haha Anderson getting the big guns out. Good day.

 

[91Jmay]

Urgh that's a disaster. Losing 2 wickets to a spud like Anderson is killer, especially with Buttler still in spotty at best form.

 

[NZTailender]

Classic Anderson. Jammy wicket to maintain strike rate after maintaining his ER.

 

[Athlai]

Bless your golden arm and golden locks, and fireman good looks.

 

[straw man]

That was rank from Root, but Corey will take it

 

[vogue]

Making this quite interesting for the afternoons watching..

 

[91Jmay]

Blaming Stokes in part for that wicket. Starved Root of strike, was a poor shot though.

 

[cnerd123]

England better ****ing win this

 

[Scaly piscine]

Typical Cardiff wicket, crappy nothingness where you can't get people out, but absolute filth comes off the pitch slowly and ends up getting chopped on, edged, mistimed etc.

More a case of being two-paced. Milne and Boult got deliveries flying through. A newer ball obviously helps.

 

[Zinzan]

Jeez NZ's been a mixed bag. So many freebies in between some good periods.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah 300 is a good score on this deck, there is enough two pacedness to make batsmen struggle.

 

[Howsie]

Yeah 300 is a good score on this deck, there is enough two pacedness to make batsmen struggle.

They'll need 340, Englands bowling is weak.

 

[Zinzan]

We better not lose KW due to slow over rate.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah but we are facing NZ, not one of the premier batting line ups so that makes up for it.
