Chris B.

Smith gets Root!

Very good catch by Mitch Jr. Thought it had beaten him for a nanosecond!

delicatessen

what a catch that's the ticket

Rapido

Shades of Ilford!

More like shades of something like the D.H. Robin's XI. Where it is 10 top players plus the owner of the team, who opens the bowling.

Bovidae

The catches taken so far, including Blundell's, only highlighted how poor NZ were in Chch.

Chris B.

Smith sends one down the leg side - Bethell goes after it and I think it gets his glove.

Blundell says (to me and others), "Fuck you - I can catch" and does!

@NTA BazBall baby

Virgil

@NTA BazBall baby

@NTA is confused because hes used to seeing W . WW . . . W after the 1st Test vs India

@Virgil you lost to a team ranked below you. At home. By 8 wickets. And they're Poms.

bayimports

havent seen anything this morning, but just score, any drops this morning or have they actually practiced catching this week?

Bovidae

NZ won the first hour, England the second hour. Need an early wicket after lunch, preferably Brook.

Cyclops

Huh, that's the first time a seamer has been hit for a six in the first over a test. Ever! Southee loves sixes.

How has your team been going lately ?

Fuck you bloody…..

bayimports

Southee 7 overs no wickets and 5.42 economy.
Smith somewhat forgiven for going at 6.83 from 6 overs courtesy of 2 wickets.

But jeez thats some serious carnage from Pope and Brook

NTA

How has your team been going lately ?

Not losing at home to Poms ranked below us.

Is the alternative better? Not much.

MN5

Brook is some god damn player. With the way he plays the wheels have to fall off eventually, but it’s taking ages !!!!!!

bayimports

Brook clearly liking the length. Even Bondy suggesting we should try more yorkers and change of pace, but nothing changed so far
