Wagner works on Dragonball Z logic. The angrier he is, the stronger he becomes.

Yup, he's perpetually Super Saiyan. Pretty sure he hit SS2 when he dismissed Woakes.

I thought that but didn't want to say it

Where's robbypark? I want to know how the weather looks for the second test.

(Assuming this was the Woakes wicket). Was watching from fine leg. It was a brute of a ball. Woakes (and Overton) had been playing the short ball well.

The reason England's bowlers have been toothless is because their batsmen are usually not giving them enough runs to play with. It's hard to bowl a side out when you've scored less than 250 with the bat. (Or indeed, only 50 as the case was here)

Hard when all 4 are bowling at 82mph too.

Yeah, lack of scoreboard pressure doesn't help but it does feel like England are relying only on scoreboard pressure (and Anderson worldies) to take wickets consistently right now. There's just a real lack of weapons in their arsenal if it doesn't hoop around corners.

Well done New Zealand. Exciting finish.

I told a girl that I might be slightly distracted due to watching the cricket. She came over anyway to watch with me. Put a ring on it?

Depends if she was fetching you beers from the fridge when you wanted one.

Would be great if Nicholls can get a century with BJ, CDG, Astle and the seamers playing shots at the other end. Bat for another 50 overs I reckon

I almost never get predictions right, so I will take this from yesterday

I wish Neil Wagner was my best friend

I wish Neil Wagner was my best friend

Imagine playing board games with him tho

 

[NZTailender]

Think that was the ball after he got Woakes

Say what you will about Eden Park's boundaries, it's pretty great for the spectator.

i loved it when kane and wagner put ross at fly slip on the boundary for the bouncer

More d/n test cricket plz. Just a pity Friday and Saturday night were ruined by rain.
