*Official* New Zealand in England 2015

[Swingpanzee]

this series has been like an evolutionary leap for test cricket. you can't even say that its bad for the game. new Zealand have turned into Australia on steroids where they can't and won't stonewall even in tests.

wut?

 

[Goughy]

Not really how you want your fastest bowler taking wickets or how you want your middle order batsmen to get out but it moves the game forward.

 

[Spark]

He looked in perfect position to hit that, maybe held in the wicket a bit.

didn't really go through with the shot for some reason, just pushed at it

 

[Harrier]

Yes! A wicket! Now maybe New Zealand will stop scoring runs so qui.... oh.

 

[Swingpanzee]

time for Baz quickfire 300 (94)

 

[mightymariner]

Well that was a little startling.

 

[vandem]

Important innings from BMac. 70 (100) should be a match winning innings. 40 (25) would not be.

 

[Stapel]

Oh, man, a big slogging swag through the air 2nd ball.....

 

[Flem274*]

Oh for ****s sake ross got out then 30 seconds later scott ****ing brash won aachen

**** this ****

 

[NZ Guy]

Depending on the success of this NZ test team over the next few years I can imagine them/Brendon McCullum being labelled as catalysts for changing the game. May be slightly knee jerky there however

 

[vic_orthdox]

Was going to go to bed, but an 8-1 field to McCullum is too much fun.

 

[Cabinet96]

Fancy Wood against McCullum here tbh.

 

[Athlai]

Ah FFS.

Betting on Bazza to go for it here.

 

[artvandalay]

wut?

OK maybe I took it too far but the cricket in general has been like watching an extended limited overs game.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Troll leave.

 

[Swingpanzee]

still don't get how this series is an evolutionary leap (lol) though

 

[mightymariner]

Are we sure they sent McCullum out, he's left the ball twice in a row now

 

[Gnske]

Nah, you may have jerked your knee completely out of the socket and died from internal hemorrhaging but apart from that it was a reasonable statement.

 

[Moss]

Yeah Wood has been the find of these two tests. Outbowled Henry as the series has gone on.

 

[Athlai]

Na, Henry didn't bowl well today or yesterday but Wood isn't exactly blowing my mind. A lot quicker than you'd expect from his run up but he struggles to find as much movement as anyone else or hit a good line or length. A couple good spells but I expect he won't last the Ashes.
