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

[Flem274*]

The opening pair have made the first bowling change. Always a good achievement for New Zealand.

its funny because its true

 

[Flem274*]

no umpires stop it what are you doing?

 

[Days of Grace]

If New Zealand complained, they would have been told to STFU and bowl.

Classic rudders there

 

[straw man]

Openers survived more than 10 overs. That is more than a little surprising. By typical NZ standards you'd say they've already done all that's required of them.

Heh, Rutherford smacked that.

 

[Burgey]

Here we go. Poms whinging and getting the ball changed. Heaven forbid younger have to perform when not everything is in your favour, you marshmallows

 

[Days of Grace]

**** me, the left-handed Sehwag.

Balls not swinging, give us another one!!

Wouldn't have had to complain because we'd be getting it to swing anyway

 

[NUFAN]

I would bring on Swann very shortly just to change things up a little and see how this pair handle him as I don't think they'd have faced him that much before.

 

[hendrix]

for some reason Anderson's seam position hasn't been great this innings.

tbh

You'd hope they would treat him with the disdain he so richly deserves.

 

[BeeGee]

Pretty pathetic from Anderson, tbh. Like a spoilt child who doesn't get his way.

 

[Burgey]

Two Metre Peter with the Greg Chappell flourish through midwicket. Very easy on the eye!

 

[MW1304]

That was as good an over as I've seen from Finn recently, sitll went for runs.

Rutherford really does look class, think you've found one. This is why we need him early.

 

[Flem274*]

50 partnership!

 

[BeeGee]

50 partnership. Good start, keep going.

 

[hendrix]

Would trade him in a heartbeat for Root.

He has some weaknesses to the straight ball. Certainly a better bet than Guptill, but he has his weaknesses.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Fulton should literally give up trying to play outside off

 

[BeeGee]

That was as good an over as I've seen from Finn recently, sitll went for runs.

Pick of the bowlers, so far.
