[bayimports]

great Colin has scored his seasons runs already, before a real game has started...

[Bovidae]

England looks to have changed their team around as ginga Bairstow got plenty of runs in the 1st game.

You've just summed up VAR

[Higgins]

@Hooroo Shame they weren't around forty odd years ago. That would have seen a complete rewriting of record books, particularly for the visiting cricket teams in India and Australia (and occasionally NZ!) and rugby teams in South Africa (not to mention Cardiff Arms Park in 1905)

[Crazy Horse]

Whitney would have been given out, Sneddon"s catch would have been awarded...

England won toss and NZ first to have a go with the hitting sticks

From Cricinfo.com

Lachlan: "Whoah! While a small sample size (8 matches), Southee averages 57 with the bat and 17 with the ball as captain!!!" The GOAT allrounder?!

If the game is tied how will they decide a winner?
