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

[Jezroy]

He needs to land the ball in the right areas more consistency to pick up a swag of wickets. Has struggled with his control since Sri Lanka for mine.

That over was pretty good?

 

[Cabinet96]

Why is Southee going around the wicket to Cook? Making it so much harder to get LBW's, which is one of the main modes of dismissal for Cook against swing bowlers.

 

[straw man]

Don't like Southee bowling round the wicket to Cook. He's had success bowling across the left-hander in recent times.

Good obs

A lot of "uncertainness" around the ground, say McMillan.

As to if he and Smithy can hold on till lunch?

 

[straw man]

Bowling has been fairly good however England will be happy with this start.

 

[Meridio]

We're bowling pretty well here but aren't having a lot of luck. The lack of pace in the pitch obviously a factor and there's only a little bit of swing on offer. Just going to have to be patient, plug away on off stump all day.

Yep. This is going to be a game of patience and concentration. Who will crack first?

 

[Furball]

Boult bowling rubbish here.

Fully expect to wake up tomorrow to an innings defeat.

 

[BeeGee]

****, Boult is quality. Will destroy teams for years barring injuries.

Boult bowling rubbish here

Interesting.

 

[Flem274*]

Interesting.

Based on what he said elsewhere he's having a lend.

Ah, I see.

 

[Flem274*]

England please just roll over like the first innings. Ta.

 

[straw man]

Southee needs to show why he's our strike bowler and make the breakthrough

I assume you're talking about GF...

 

[Zinzan]

I missed the last 40 mins or so. Any chances created or deliverers beating the bat?

 

[Flem274*]

Crap review.

Something looks slightly out with Southee's action too.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

C'mon, bloody wasting reviews. Grrrrr
