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

[Stapel]

Bell and Trott are scoring quite rapidly, given the fact England are three wickets down!

 

[hendrix]

I like the way you think.

Why the black armbands?

might be for Jeets' mum

 

[straw man]

So Wagner getting over-excited here? According to radio the last over was all 140k+ but was too short and wide.

 

[hendrix]

might be for Jeets' mum

actually I think they were talking about the oldest test cricketer dying the other day.

 

[straw man]

It's for Sammy Guillen

Not much. KPs wicket swung and the odd one has moved.

doing nothing. Hardly any swing, touch of early seam movement.

Excellent bowling and **** shot from Cook

Actually looks good for batting now.

 

[Furball]

Too high.

Top review Baz. Mongo.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Thought first up the only way it wasn't out was if he edged it. So it proved.

 

[BeeGee]

McCullum enjoys wasting reviews.

 

[straw man]

yEAAHHH!

Thanks Belly

 

[BeeGee]

That's a huge wicket.

 

[Meridio]

Yessssss! Fairly soft dismissal but we'll take it.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well that was crap. Wagner was telling Bond he was going to try round the wicket to Bell. Such a crap shot.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Typical Bell shot in a typical Bell situation

 

[_Ed_]

Made some fairly scathing remarks to friends about Wagner's awfulness in Tests just before this game. Happy to be made to look like an idiot.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

A lot of people wanted Root in to face the new ball.... Well here ya go

 

[BeeGee]

NZ need to take Root early. We can't let him dig in and get established.

 

[Cabinet96]

Especially as we saw fit to send Compton & KP into this game with one game to warm up. Brilliant planning boys.

And would this hypothetical tour where we have three warm up games feature any one day cricket? Or are we going to assume no one cares about one day cricket because CW favours test cricket?

 

[straw man]

It's unfortunate that Trott is unlikely to gift his wicket here like Bell did.

Need a really good spell....


Boult!!
