*Official** New Zealand in England

[SpaceMonkey]

Richardson, our main strike bowler. Otherwise I'd guess Franklin or maybe even Styris.

EDIT: Cairns it is.

He gets a wicket in his first over. England 1/1 Butching batting with a broken little finger.

 

[_Ed_]

Well, I wasn't overly pleased with Cairns getting the new ball ahead of Mills and Franklin, but he certainly proved me wrong...

1 down, 19 to go...

 

[_Ed_]

It seems the broken finger must be contagious! McMillan, Papps, Butcher...who next?

Uh-oh not another injury......hamstring problem for Martin.

 

[MoxPearl]

lol

 

[Waughney]

Although they say it looks like a cramp.

 

[Loony BoB]

New Zealand quite possibly need to review their physio and diet team (or whatever they might be called). Deary deary me.

yes feed them nothing but milk

 

[Loony BoB]

And bananas, too. Prevents cramp.

 

[MoxPearl]

thats the first time i have ever seen a bowler kick the top of the stumps with his front foot while bowling lol

 

[tooextracool]

was that tresco or was that strauss who was dismissed?
nonetheless it was a good ball by cairns, looks far more threatening than martin did in his 1 and a half overs.

 

[Loony BoB]

Strauss is the man out.

After all I said about prices at Trent Bridge, there are only 150 tickets left for the whole ground tomorrow.

The atmospere will be fantastic. Bloody debt.

 

[MoxPearl]

nice bowling franklin !

18-2

 

[tooextracool]

what is wrong with butcher??? franklin gets his first wicket

 

[luckyeddie]

Strauss is the man out.

It was TEC's idea of a joke because of the lack of foot movement - a gag which will be repeated following Butcher's dismissal in 5....4....3....

 

[_Ed_]

Excellent...hope this turns out to be a brilliant comeback spell.

 

[tooextracool]

Strauss is the man out.

the footwork...the footwork

ahh in butchers case it was more of an unnecessary shot....wide outside off stump with the new ball, why would you need to play at that?

vaughan looks in good touch ATM....could be his day
