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

Good that the match is moving on quickly - the weather will intervene again at some point, but the loss of a couple of sessions shouldn't prevent a result.

Nasty little spell for England to bat now, maybe three overs before lunch. A few nerves for Compton I would think.

There is always one bowler in the England side who Scaly hates and that bowler invariably ends up wrapping up the tail to protect his figures whenever he bowls poorly to the top order. Panesar was a classic at it.

As strong evidence as you'll get for the existence of God IMO.

To be fair though Finn got two proper bats out and mopped up the tail. Beats not getting anyone out and letting the tail make runs which would happen with Onions.

It is clear that Finn is struggling for form/rhythm at present, maybe these wickets will help him find some form, bowled better today than yesterday anyway as did Broad.

How the **** has Finn ended up with four wickets?

That's pretty much his schtick tho, isn't it? Very rarely looks good value for his poles.

 

[Flem274*]

[Adders]

Looked out to me.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Oh ffs, what a waste.

 

[Adders]

Lol,

 

[wellAlbidarned]

[Flem274*]

and someone needs to chill baz out on the reviews some days

 

[Bahnz]

Thought I saw a tiny hot spot there...

 

[Flem274*]

now we have only one review for the next ten wickets ffs

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Can't give that

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Yeah, there's a mark, but it won't be given.

 

[Adders]

FFS, get on with it........can't overturn this.

 

[Prince EWS]

I think he's hit this. Won't be overturned though.

 

[Flem274*]

Nothing wrong with a lucky bowler though, is there? ITB took plenty of wickets with poor deliveries after all.
