Hmm, makes for an interesting final test. Few batsmen, including myself, under pressure to retain their spots.

Need to take a few more scalps, but happy with the lower order runs. Hoping to step up with the ball next game.

Should give the rookies some valuable game time in the final test imo.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

In a live test? Don't think so. Maybe if it was a dead rubber.

very unlucky

On a personal note, pleased to receive a full contract despite my famed abscence, indeed, pleased.

Mittensmonger with a good bowling performance in that there second test, certainly bowled the ball, yessiree. Got some wickets too, my sources tell me.

What a guy.

Strong rookie list, for mine.

You're only as good as your rookie list, as they say.

So, have I missed much?

 

[andyc]

Given that I've not posted for over a week, and 6 pages, I think it's safe to say that you haven't.

tbh no

So, have I missed much?

Only the best nine days of our lives. Funny coincidence.

Won't keep the masses waiting in suspense any longer.

TFXI vs. NZ, the 3rd test, the decider, IS NEXT!

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

NZ are in deep trouble, to be blunt.

TF Clinch the series.

Borcich takes the game away from New Zealand.

Despite giving up a large lead in the first innings, superb bowling and some gritty top order batting has gifted TFXI with their first series victory of the summer. A gritty 99 from opener Nick Borcich, and a graceful 44 from #3 Darren Murphy made the 4th innings total seem like light work on a pitch decribed as a "Disgrace" by TF captain Rich Edmunds. Earlier it was all the bowlers, with Smith taking 2/22 and Edmunds 2/36 to skittle New Zealand for 117 to set up the victory.
