Black Caps v England Test series

[booboo]

Very satisfactory day of test cricket.

Essentially NZ get 4.5 days to play v Eng with two innings while the Poms get one only.

Bat till stumps tomorrow would be awesome.

[Donsteppa]

A perfect day of cricket.

As close as you'll ever get!

And necessary given there's a fair amount of rain in the forecast the next 4 days.

Not any more. Showers, and it'll be glorious. I'm bouncing around like before a proper All Blacks test match - can't wait to get down to the ground.

MetService - Te Ratonga Tirorangi

not much about - just a shower or five

Still trying to get my head around a NZ Cricket test starting at 2pm. It's confusing for an old tradionalist like me.

@mn5 yeah as soon as we reached stumps I was wishing we could resume in the morning. But it was pretty cool to be watching local test cricket at 9pm. If we'd been getting shat on I may have felt differently tho!

Think will be rain on and off today and tomorrow pretty much washed out. Sunday and Monday much better

Jumped on the draw at $8.50 yesterday when England were 8 down. Will happily lose my money but also want something in return if the weather gods steal away a famous NZ victory

@jk at the ground now getting ribs. Windy but blue skies. Mildly warm. Plenty of play in store I hope.

Awesome! Heard pissing down out West. Fine in city

There is rain around but hopefully stays away. Anyone know what happens to pink balls in the wet? That's a serious question by the way...

All going well it'll make our bowlers quicker than Brett Lee while spinning it more than Murali all at the same time.

Sun's out, so it's started to rain. Auckland, eh
