***Official*** England in New Zealand series 2013

Bell gonna bell

 

[Flem274*]

Phew, a wicket.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Williamson needs to stop taking wickets, he's drawing attention to himself.

 

[Hurricane]

Hope Trott scores 15(40) then gets out.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Commies talking as if it's one of Root or Compton for the test side. Not both?

Yeah, that's how I see it.

Root seems to have jumped ahead of Bluey in the pecking order.

Ah, Bell. Half-arsed slog sweep caught on the leg side boundary to give Chuck Throwiamson a scalp.

 

[stumpski]

Well that was unnecessary ... Williamson has a 4-for in ODIs though, tbf. Same BB figures as Michael Vaughan, and he seems a similar type of bowler. May go for a few but will nip in with the odd wicket as well.

Mick to sue, surely? If that ain't defamation...

 

[Prince EWS]

Not the time or place for Kane, afaic. Wickets needed.

As likely to take one as anyone else right now AFAIC.

 

[Howe_zat]

Last 5 overs 14/1 despite a six - where are the singles? :/

 

[Howe_zat]

Yeah I'll cop that - England have stalled a bit

 

[hendrix]

bring back mills now

 

[Cabinet96]

England still suck at rotating the strike against any variety of spin in ODI's.

Simon Doull following CW?

Based on this evidence we should play two specialist spinners

 

[stumpski]

Sky put the score up in a half-arsed fashion don't they - they put up 'overs bowled' and 'runs required' - so it looks as if we need 175 off 22. That equation will get a lot easier though.

Qualified my comment, to avoid the attentions of m'learned friends ...


Actually, I'm not convinced that Williamson is throwing it (although I'd need to see him in slo-mo). I don't think that his arm straightens at any point.

 

[Zinzan]

I'm kind of hoping Trott bats for at least 10 overs and we sneak the odd wicket at the other end.

 

[Howe_zat]

Seeing a part-time offspinner come around the wicket to right-hander to keep him to the leg-side single that's all the batsman wants to get; makes you wonder what you're doing with your life

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Worst wide call in the history of the world.

Williamson is a weird one. He is a part-timer, but has an uncanny ability to bowl really good spells against good opposition once in a while.
