Black Caps v England Test series

[No Quarter]

Brilliant hundred. His first was against SA too, so he can score against the best. Well played son.

[Sneakdefreak]

Mediocre in the shorter forms of the game but seems very comfortable in the test format. Well done.

[Paekakboyz]

@sneakdefreak the anti-guptill!!

[hydro11]

I think Nicholls can be good at all formats but batting him at 6 in ODIs is redundant.

[No Quarter]

300 lead. Realistically they won't have time to set us a target now, so would like to see us kick on or declare in the near future.

[Paekakboyz]

Both Smith and rigor were adamant we need to be bowling this session. But not so early we lose the shine for the evening session.

[Godder]

Time to declare IMO. Bring up 400 if they must, but they need to be bowling at them, not batting now.

[Damo]

I think we keep batting till very late in this session. I like the idea of having a new ball for each night session. Both tonight's and tomorrow nights (if needed)

[mimic]

Southree out, but a bit of justice, as I thought he was run out earlier.

[sterling]

They will just try to get 500 or so and then bowl them all out tomorrow!!!!!
it is going to be good!!!

[sterling]

6 more

[mimic]

Black Caps declare..

427/8

[mimic]

Nicholls with a nice not out to give him an average of 38

[sterling]

Not out on 145!!!!

[Sneakdefreak]

Thought they would wait for Nicholls to push past 150, guess they want England to bat a bit before dinner?

[akan004]

Batted for an hour too long imo. 320 was enough of a lead.

I tend to agree. I doubt England will come out and play aggressively. I think this one is probably 70% to us, 30% draw. We have a day two pitch and a smarting batting line up. It could be difficult to get on top.

Cook gone!

9 terrific bits of cricket left to win

[Paekakboyz]

Good start!! Unlucky as, but we'll take em!
