i think henry will have a few more county offers if test cricket doesn't work out

 

[Flem274*]

Crawley looked better today but no cigar.

Henry making us taste it. Excellent bowling.

im gonna be consistent here. a duke and a kookaburra are different beasts. if we bring the duke into nz domestic cricket, henry's gonna go full andre adams and average 8.

promising signs for his test career though. like 2012 southee he is at a crossroads.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Crawley was pretty much walking before the umpire even raised his finger until Root’s expert judgement intervened.

Yeah I didn’t read a whole lot into his county success but there’s something to this. If he keeps bowling like this he’ll certainly keep Duffy and Bracewell behind in the queue.

 

[Moss]

Gone too full since Pope’s come to the crease. Don’t know if its part of a plan but can’t be giving away too many free runs.

 

[hendrix]

With Henry bowling well it's pretty frustrating that he hasn't had some pressure building at the other end

 

[Moss]

Did look high, Pope seemed to be off the ground

 

[BoyBrumby]

Looks mildly high, but on field it's out, so fear for young Oliver here.

hehe

 

[BoyBrumby]

Umpire's call, yeah.

England gone by stumps at this rate.

 

[Flem274*]

nice wags

 

[Moss]

That’s the sort of lbw which could get you a bit peeved pre-DRS. Pope being a short man probably swayed the umpire.

Wagner playing the Boult role well there.

Are you really frustrated? This game is pretty much over, you've been ahead since lunch on day one. Try to enjoy it.

 

[hendrix]

Yeah look Wags is ahead of Boult probably even in English conditions. But realistically, we're playing 5 bowlers and Mitchell/CdG miss out

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Pitching it up and getting the new batsman to drive was the norm years ago. He might hit a four or two but it's worth the risk.

 

[hendrix]

He gets lovely drift does Ajaz

 

[MW1304]

A review born of desperation.

Back to the shires for Master Crawley if there's any justice.

I'm so excited for yet another set of young County players to come in, play three good innings, then completely lose the plot.

I miss the times when we just had a wheel of mediocrity for one opening spot in the lineup, now it's like four different ones.

 

[grecian]

Humiliating.

 

[BoyBrumby]

That's dire.

Prodding at a wide one.

Will be on this team's gravestone.
