I couldn't believe that TBHIt's pretty soporific stuff, it must be said.
Not all England's fault either; it's a no-brainer that the batsman was going to kick the ball away when Vettori went over the wicket.

Cannot fathom why Vettori would have wanted to bowl so much as a single delivery over-the-wicket TBH. Makes no sense whatsoever under these circumstances.Not all England's fault either; it's a no-brainer that the batsman was going to kick the ball away when Vettori went over the wicket.
Dukes FTW, clearly.Interesting comment on cricinfo that the scoring rate is partly due to the kookabura ball as well as the pitch. Thoughts?
I've always rated Ambrose as a batsman, since I first saw him in 2001. Very much hope he can become Test-class.What are people's initial thought's on Ambrose's batting?
This is first live cricket I have seen this test but he looks reasonably competant but seems to play around his front pad a bit to Martin. I could see him struggle against extra pace or some inswing.
A good ball will take a flat pitch out of the equation, provided the bowlers can use it.Dukes FTW, clearly.Interesting comment on cricinfo that the scoring rate is partly due to the kookabura ball as well as the pitch. Thoughts?
TBH if he can average 30 & take the catches & stumpings that you would expect a test keeper to take (which would put him ahead of his predecessors) that would do for me.I've always rated Ambrose as a batsman, since I first saw him in 2001. Very much hope he can become Test-class.
And he gets dropped by McCullum.
