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

[Meridio]

Ugh, awful way to go.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Woakes has a rather Shaun pollockish trundle about him. Looks a genuine green track bully though.

Awwww Kane, I just got the tissues out

 

[straw man]

That's not the best shot from Williamson, who was looking so comfortable.

In theory a good time for Taylor to come to the crease

 

[Kippax]

Weerasunglassesbro?

Reminds me so much of Guptill. ****ing ***y drives.

"PEWS never gave an to Guptill tbf. Except for ****ness."

 

[Zinzan]

I'm wondering if 350 will be enough to defend on this pitch, it looks like a marble floor.

Big wicket, Williamson was doing it easily.

 

[thierry henry]

So annoying, was a nothing ball.

Was just about to say that this has all been amazingly effortless and I've rarely seen NZ batsmen milk 1s and 2s so competently. Apart from a couple of shots by Guptill the only boundaries being hit were from edges but otherwise they were ticking over beautifully.

Still can't get over the shot at 0:45.

Since when was Taylor a bit iffy against short pitched bowling?

Spent most of his last tour to England hooking the bowlers into the Old Trafford stands.

Against not so quick blokes like woakes he can be a bit compulsive

 

[Expressway76]

Woakes being deeply average again. Mind you this pitch is an absolute road.

Love how Guptill can defend with his gate closed in pyjamas.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

somewhere in the world a batting coach dies every time guptill plays a forward defense to an off spinner.

 

[hendrix]

awful captaincy to leave Woakes on straight after the wicket.

I can't think of a nicer introduction to the crease for Taylor.

You won't need that many, or anywhere near. Which doesn't mean that you won't finish up with something close to it anyway. NZ have been way smarter at these games than England for as long as I can remember.

At least his blind lunge had better technique in it this time.

That ball bobbled: the other day it would have gone straight through.

If it was the same pitch it probably would've tbh. Thank **** for ODI concrete

 

[thierry henry]

That wasn't 4, bizarre 3rd umpiring

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I though it was 4. Foot touching, ball still on the fingertips

 

[Flem274*]

Our french cuts have been on song today.

 

[Bahnz]

Guptill plays that pull shot much better these days. Really uses his height to get on top it and hit it down.
