I have a feeling you and your positive attitude are somehow to blame for this.

We’re leading with wickets in hand. Quit complaining.

Okay, I'm going to be a Grumpy Old FluffyBunny... I'm not cool with sponsorship on the white Test-kit.
I don't know why, it just seems wrong.

Seeing the NZ guys with the "anz" - I felt "ugh. yuck"
But then a second later seeing a pom, with whatever they've got - I felt "yeah... nah, fuck, yuck"

No Quarter

Pretty even session. England will be happy to have gotten Ross and Nichols, but they still have some work to do.

We really need these two to knuckle down. There's no rush, just need to bat time. Henry is in next so early wickets next session will bring England right back into it.

Intriguing test so far. Bed time for me, hope to wake up to 80 for Blundell and 80 for Mitchell.

Replying to your own posts is a sure sign of extreme grumpiness and senility

I am extremely grumpy.
I wouldn't say senile, but...
Edit... I had something...

80 is the new 100

Got to love the English commentators absolutely tearing into the technique of our spin bowler batting at ten.

"I can see both middle and off!"

Donsteppa

Average batting so far today. The middle order didn't make the most of their starts. Not sure why Wags was batting at the dizzy heights of 8 ahead of Henry, but Wags quickly solved that one without troubling the scorers.

Donsteppa

And now Blundell adds himself to the list of batsmen who made good starts and didn't carry on. Though he was lucky to survive the Poms having a poor keeper early on...

Poor batting this afternoon lets England back in this game.

Having now lost 6/69, I wonder if we have to ban you from posting during the Final...

We are exposing ourselves to the risk of having to save the test on a day 5 wicket

Patel out on review, all out for 388 and a lead of 85. Roll them for 200 and win at a canter...

Donsteppa

Absolutely fucking squandered the opportunity to bat England completely out of the game.

On the plus side, not only did Patel out bowl Shatner's first test efforts, he out batted him too.

sparky

NZ all out for 388.

Donsteppa

A cricinfo comment: "Story so far : England 85/3 to 303 all out. NZ 292 /3 to 388 all out"

sparky

Burns out. England 0 for 1.
