*Official* New Zealand in England 2015

[Gnske]

Wood's wide approach definitely caused a few problems throughout the innings, bowling well.

 

[WalkingWicket]

Wow that was a corker from Wood...really got something, has this lad.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

That was some over.

 

[mightymariner]

I have a hard time trusting seamers with run ups as short as Wood's for some reason.

 

[Spikey]

i smell a career of being labelled unlucky coming up

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Extras doing well:

[Spikey]

i remember, i remember/remember when kane could score runs

 

[Scaly piscine]

Did everything bar take a hatful, glad to see Wood finally get the chance to show what he can do.

Next time people say there are no decent bowlers or batsmen to come in, well unless people see them then how can you know...

 

[Flem274*]

wood has spent half the innings being good and half the innings being a jammy filth merchant

 

[kiwiviktor81]

England's seamers, this innings: Wood > Broad > Stokes > Anderson

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Stokes finally manages to bring up his ton at HQ.

 

[Antihippy]

I know that he's been unlucky and creating a fair few chances but at some point you've got to ask your most expensive bowler to take a break don't you?

 

[GIMH]

About time

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Not a great innings there. Plant the pad and got stuck twice.

 

[Moss]

Well, didn't see him getting out that way. Solid innings nevertheless, set up NZ well in this game.

Good little effort from Watling here, helped KW through a tough batting period. Definitely don't want him sitting out the next game for Ronchi.

EDIT: Pretty silly review from Craig there.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

One brings two.

Could be a tricky passage to survive tonight though if Southee and Boult bowl better.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Yeah that was a hopeless review once given but not much to lose I guess.

 

[Furball]

Yeah I kept talking over top of Spark by accident or saying the obvious. Tried to shut up more as time went on. The lack of being in the same room makes it impossible to use non-verbal cues to know who wants to say something next.

Streaming doesn't help in that regard either, when I was listening to the comms in the evening session the comms were a ball behind my TV.

 

[WalkingWicket]

That's not out. No way that has carried.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Probably be overturned.

Correctly too, that bounced and wasn't one of those that was dubious.
