Was he hyped at all?
Most people said he was quite crap in the first innings, but did have a good spell before lunch on day 3.

I'm more worried about the second dig. Even if England get rolled for <200 here they could make 500 in the second innings when the seamy road becomes more roady than seam.

How much crap can Mark Richardson talk in one commentary stint.
Makes Gower seem like John Arlott.

Does NZ playing 3 main bowlers make it more or less useful to attack them?
My instinct is that it makes it more worth it to defend, knowing you've got less effective change bowlers who'll hav to come on before too long.
On the other hand, if you can knock one of them out of the attack you get a lot more reward when there's fewer options. Pretty much everyone thought this made a big difference in the summer.

Makes it more useful to defend the main three and more useful to attack the worst of the four IMO.

I haven't mentioned that I wouldn't have selected him for this Test yet so I'm sure I'll be getting hate mail about my undenying love for him shortly.

Agreed except the second innings will be lol smack 380 in 50 overs to set NZ an #intent target of 200 in two days.
And still win.
