The English batsman need to start upping there rotate of strike there no use for them batting for a draw they need to make a statement and go for the win

Aside from that hoary old "not losing" thing, obvz.

Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

So very, very predictable too.

Its ridiclous New Zealand set a very generous target you would think England would at least make a attempt to go for target, but no they shut up shop after losing 1 wicket.

shouldnt be doing that mate

big dog in. realistically england should bat this out but hopefully we can make it painful.

Admirable effort so far from England but it's time for them to fold meekly I think.

i agree slippy. they should be honourable and have a massive crack. swing for the fences lads.

Crawley was painful. Now I get why he was averaging 32 at county when picked to play for England. His double hundred last year was good to watch though.

 

[kaetor]

Surely Crawley has to be one of the worst players to score a test double hundred?

 

[nzfan]

Root has to be the best batsman in the world. He gets no support whatsoever from this line up and root averages 50+ amazing

Ball doing just enough to take the edges right now IMO. Southee/Wagner get another here could be interesting

Dizzy cough cough

You'd think so. Looking at his dismissals in this test, he looks like he needs to decide whether he actually wants to be a test batsman.

I said worst! I'll never forget the 50's him and McGrath put up against us.
