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

Go Bucko!

But what was Compton thinking with that shot??

 

[Hurricane]

Silly shot.

 

[MW1304]

Awful shot yes but 20 something dot balls does silly things to people, good pressure NZ.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

What a brainfart that was.

 

[wpdavid]

Yup. Why on earth did he think that was a good idea? Tight bowling and all that, but he should have expected that. Silly boy.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Puts Hendrix out of the race in BuckoWatch too.

 

[Scaly piscine]

If you're playing as a block merchant you can't afford to play completely ****ing moronic shots like that.

 

[Cabinet96]

It's his only release shot against spin bowling. He was always going to do it at some point.

 

[NUFAN]

Not the way I expected Compton to get out, but I definitely think getting him to play away from his body is a good option.

Now for Trott, my least favourite batsman in Test Cricket.

 

[Spark]

It's his only release shot against spin bowling. He was always going to do it at some point.

Tempted to make an Ian Bell joke here...

 

[Bahnz]

Was a good ball from Martin though. Flight lured Compton down the wicket, and then spun away just enough.

 

[Cabinet96]

Tempted to make an Ian Bell joke here...

Yup, same for Bell. At least Bell does it with a hint of compactness though. Compton doing it reminds me of a Craig Kieswetter hack.

 

[Spark]

Was a good ball from Martin though. Flight lured Compton down the wicket, and then spun away just enough.

Yeah you could see throughout Martin's spell that it was the plan - wide, flighted lures and Compton went fishing.

 

[Burgey]

Really quaking in my boots at the prospect of our poor blokes having to bowl at Compton.

 

[Spark]

Oh dear

 

[NUFAN]

Wow, Trott dropped on zero, could be very costly.

 

[theegyptian]

Compton is just average. Blocks back **** deliveries. No intent and poor execution when bad balls bowled at him.

Cook needs a more aggressive guy at the other end.

 

[Bahnz]

Argh, done by the swing.

 

[Scaly piscine]

So England still playing against New Zealand like they're in a ****ing coma.

 

[Cabinet96]

Lovely in-swinger by Trott.
