**Official** New Zealand in England

[Somerset]

Umm five wides from Gillespie, just what we can afford defending 182..

 

[Richard]

Five wides, not good.

EDIT: beaten precisely to it by Soms.

 

[_Ed_]

Ah, an off-day for Gillespie.

 

[steds]

Haha Wright! Go eat some hamburgerssssssss

Ah, an off-day for Gillespie.

Isn't the off-day the norm? In ODIs at least.

Mills getting plenty of bounce from a length here.

Haha Wright! Go eat some hamburgerssssssss

Evidently some clever gag from Nath here - care to enlighten?

 

[Richard]

Another five wides!

It is, but there's the occasional good day every now and then too. Remember him taking 3 top-order wickets in quick succession in an Auckland ODI against Sri Lanka a couple of years back, including an in-form Jayasuriya.

 

[Richard]

14 from 3, of which 10 have been wides - how extraordinarily unusual.

Evidently some clever gag from Nath here - care to enlighten.

Haha Rich, no gag. Just saying what everyone's thinking.

EDIT: Also, you should surely have a question mark there. Tsk tsk.

 

[Richard]

WoW, straight to mid-wicket!! Should be a game here now.

 

[Somerset]

Massive wicket...we've half a chance here if we can pick up another couple in the next 5 or 6 overs.

 

[Nate]

Pietersen, hamburgers, etc.

 

[_Ed_]

It's a beautiful thing.

We need to get Collingwood early, he seems to pull England out of situations like this annoyingly often.

 

[gettingbetter]

Hopefully Bopara can score some runs, he has time now. He definitely should be in team, he is batting in the right position, just needs to reciprocate his domestic form on the international arena now.

Hmm. You reckon? There's an odd one in there, none more so than this one, but mostly it's just been ramming the advantage home.

I reckon there's 5 occasions in there when you can say he turned a bad situation into a good one.

Let's emphasise - THIS IS NOT IN ANY WAY A PREDICTION!!!!!!!!!!!! Today could perfectly possibly be the 6th.

 

[Richard]

Haha, WoW, Bopara's been involved in 7 run-outs in 21 innings!

And Bell has been involved in 12.

 

[Richard]

Haha, I do love Ian Smith. "Should be 1-all, well-documented fact around The World". We're all thinking it, he has the nerve to say it.

 

[_Ed_]

Now I have to change the channel, there's another Kiwi about to compete in the UK in need of my support.

I'd love England to be 4 down when I return!
