*Official* England in New Zealand 2019

[SteveNZ]

Nicked it. Bastard

 

[Athlai]

Will be out in two overs anyway, nbd.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

maiden after maiden

 

[Woodster]

Is Anderson still injured?

On the road to recovery apparently, bowling some overs outdoors in Spain.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

At Man City isn't he?

Be their best centre half even with a dodgy calf.

 

[Woodster]

Very good delivery from Boult to nick Burns off, missed one there the Kiwis!

Sibley’s being very disciplined outside that off stump to Southee so far, very early days mind.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Waiting for that one to nip back in and bowled him through the gate.

 

[NUFAN]

4 maidens in a row. Doesnt happen too often but its a nice battle, or test if you will.

 

[Burgey]

On the road to recovery apparently, bowling some overs outdoors in Spain.

No one expects that.

Would have liked to see CW's own JimmyGS in the NZ side too.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

What ball are they using? Kookaburra?

 

[straw man]

TEST CRICKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Between this and the Aus-Pak series it now officially feels like summer.

Excited when woke up this morning, got the kids ready for school and childcare, dropped them off, then completely forgot to turn on the radio until now. Absolute disgrace.

Nah worry, it'll grow on you

 

[NZTailender]

there was a bit of movement and now it's starting to disappear. If these guys want a wicket before Wagner cleans up they better get going.

 

[straw man]

I should be excited, but I'm just a bit down about it all. We're bowling but we have no Ferg. I was more excited about this two days ago when all the press (including NZCs own press releases) indicated we were going to see some pace. Until Stead ruined it all.

4 sessions of 130km wobblers with a crappy kooka coming up.

I wanted to see Ferguson too but this is ott. Sunny, new ball, Boult and Southee, it's always exciting.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Burns' average is on a head-to-head race with Boult's bowling average to see which one gets to 30 first.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

the "southee's numbers in tests have been flattering him for the past four years" train is departing shortly

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

James Vince level batting from Dom

 

[91Jmay]

James Vince level batting from Dom

Literally the opposite of Vince. Who scored quick attractive 20s cover driving the ball.

 

[NZTailender]

Colin hooping it yesssss

 

[Athlai]

Gotta love Englishmen's natural fear of a medium pacer getting some swing.
