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

[Flem274*]

yeah ok we're not winning this.

beam the ****ing ****

 

[Meridio]

McCullum has generally captained excellently this series but imo he's made some mistakes today. Should've opened with Boult and Southee at the start of the day for 4-5 overs each, then gone to Wagner and Martin until the new ball. And now I think we have to have one of Southee or Boult on at all times.

Oh, **** me, you lucky, lucky **** Prior.

 

[James]

Oh my god.......... how lucky was that! Hit the stumps and the bails don't fall off......

 

[Pothas]

Well that is just ridiculous.

 

[Flem274*]

and get boult on ffs

 

[straw man]

It's a sign from above. We have offended the cricket gods.

Bahnz's human sacrifice was not enough.

 

[Zinzan]

Not the Kiwis day?

Yup, a sign it's not going to be your day.

At the end of the day, we've had the chances to win the game. We just couldn't take them.

 

[Cabinet96]

Really smacked the stumps hard.

Anyway, if Boult is ruled too fatigued to replace Martin at the moment, then I'd go with Williamson. Martin just not causing any problems here.

 

[straw man]

I'm going to die if McCullum lets Martin keep bowling and then brings Wagner on for Southee.

bahnz i demand you bet more

as a sign of good faith i bet my avatar for the draw. if i lose my avatar it is the winners until lords.

 

[Jarquis]

Love cricket
Cracking ball
Prior just so unfazed

 

[BackFootPunch]

I still can't believe that just happened. And ****ing Botham making it sound totally routine.

 

[Mike5181]

Give him another one Wagner.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Meh, seen balls hit the stumps harder and not dislodge the bails.

Believe my response was "oh, for ****'s sake..." as it carried through straight to my gloves, having deflected via off-stump and leaving the bails motionless. Curiously, it was the opposition's keeper batting, at a key juncture in proceedings, and we didn't win either.

 

[Jono]

wow just read the ball

wow. feel so sorry for Kiwis right now.

Still plenty of overs and 1 wicket away from lower order/tail.

Still can be done

 

[BeeGee]

Not the Kiwis day?

Apparently not.

It's been a cracking game of cricket.

 

[straw man]

Prior has lived a ridiculously charmed life but if we don't win it's still because we missed 2.5 catches

(and probably bowled Bruce Martin all afternoon)

 

[Flem274*]

get boult on

 

[Jarquis]

Don't mind that from Wagner but he missed the stumps by miles from 8 yards
