**Official** England in New Zealand

Ah right, I see.

Vivaldi is aussome.

Taylor looking far from convincing but managing 3 boundaries in Sidebottom's comeback over.

 

[Richard]

MSP gets the ball for the 1st time in the match (bar the 1 over in the first-innings). Can only see him being terribly effective if they look to go after him.

EDIT: ITSTL, the 1st ball of the match that's turned, for my money

 

[Richard]

O0o0o0o0o0o0h, Sinclair top-edges a cut just between Ambrose and Collingwood. Nearly a chance.

 

[Richard]

Cook DOES NOT drop Sinclair, he was never catching that one.

 

[Richard]

FFS, there's been some non-catches but there's been some stupid ones.

I've not seen Pietersen drop one that bad for a loooooooong time.

 

[_Ed_]

That certainly was a drop.

What sort of shot was that Mr Taylor?

 

[Smudge]

Terrible, terrible shot from Taylor and an even worse attempted catch from Pietersen.

 

[pasag]

Oh dear KP.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

ffs taylor

oh, thank you KP

 

[Smudge]

For someone who is batting for his test career, Sinclair does seem to be serving up catching and LBW practice...

 

[Richard]

**** me I'm struggling to believe I've just seen that.

 

[_Ed_]

It seems to have had a good effect on Taylor though, his shots since have been superb.

The forum is boogerred @themo. Wonder what's the problem.

Presume everyone else is experiencing massive load-times?

Isn't too bad. Better than Cricinfo which is having another one of its failures.

 

[NZTailender]

Sincaaaaaaaaaaaaaas. Love the guy.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

I really hope we dont regret all these dropped catches

 

[Richard]

Haha yep.

Regarding the drops, Space - there's really only been 3 for my money. 2 of which have already been rectified. You can't expect the Cook and Ambrose ones to be taken.

Sidebottom's last 5 overs have cost 36.

 

[Prince EWS]

Skippy doesn't need this tea break. Should have been delayed until after he got his fifty IMO.

Ah good, that solves that one. Seems to have started behaving normally again the last couple of minutes.
