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

[Bahnz]

Someone needs to tell Broad that England needs to get at least 150, if they hope to make NZ follow-on.

 

[_Ed_]

NZ now favourites! 2.50, with England at 3.60 and a draw at 2.60. At least wait until we bat...

 

[Jono]

Wow, wickets continue to tumble.

Can someone who is watching give a brief summary of the day? Pitch playing up? NZ bowling brilliantly?

 

[straw man]

Good positive intent from England today

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Typical clever Broad stroke, real thinking cricketer Stewart

From what I've seen, not really either of the above. Abysmal batting.

Niether really. Although NZ have bowled reasonably well.

England batting like spastics mainly.

New Zealand have bowled decently, but not well enough to have a side 8 down.

Hard to really be annoyed with Broad, that ball was there to be smacked out the ground.

NZ bowlers at least did *something* to earn the wickets of Compton, Pietersen and Root.

The rest have been gifts from those lovely Engerlishers.

 

[Zinzan]

Martin/Watling should really be pushing for those reviews tbf. They're in the best positions.

To be fair on McCullum, it looks like he normally lets the bowler make the ultimate decision on whether to review or not, but you're right that we get it wrong far too often.


Holy *** yet another gifted wicket. Funny when you think how unlucky Vettori has been over the years with LBW and general bad luck (particularly prior to DRS) yet Bruce Martin gets a bag of wickets on debut bowling long-hops.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Insane.

Such a shame that the weather will make this a draw.

 

[Cabinet96]

The way Atherton is speaking, you'd think Swann would have scored more than just the one international 50 in the last 3 and a bit years....

Really, if you think he would have changed the situation here...

 

[Jono]

Was gonna add the "England batting poorly?" option but did not want to insult NZ posters

 

[_Ed_]

Aw, don't remind us about the SA game.

 

[theegyptian]

ha, this is why i went to india rather than NZ

 

[Blakey]

Will England bat again today?

Root got himself out.

Pitch looks good. Bowling is mixed.

Batting is some of the worst I've ever seen.

 

[Jono]

Root got himself out.

Rooted himself #hadtobedone
