What did we do to Holding?
Think NZ have bowled Average, England just poor. Said it about 10 times. After going on and on yday about dropped catches, seems he cannot give us credit.
Why the fucks he commentating anyway?
Yeah I don't understand why they canned Gower and Botham but kept Holding.

This in part is why I didn't think they were up for chasing at Lords basically everyone in that top order is under serious pressure aside from Burns and Root (who has the weight of the side on him).
A couple of early wickets and they have just carved through them.
Zaltsman was saying on TMS that England already have the second most ducks in the Top 6 in a calendar year in history and it's not even June.
Its June 13

This is how conditioned I still am to Black Caps failure
I open cricinfo, see a team get absolutely rolled, and instantly think it's us.

Very surprised when I heard the scorecard on the radio this morning.
I was reading a scathing article on cricinfo, and this comment made me laugh.
To be fair to England's selection, you can understand why they felt they needed an extra batter. They probably needed a dozen extra batters. And you can see why they didn't feel they needed a spinner on the fourth or fifth day. There's hardly going to be any play.

They’re a curious commentary team. They figure out some very good insights… and then proceede to flog them to death for the next half day.
While Taylor does have a couple of issues, after a while I started to wonder if we’d picked Chris Martin to bat at four.

Are we allowed to pick 6 bowlers for the WTC final next week?
-
Not quite what I expected, but absolutely fucking awesome nonetheless. Have seen the highlights, really good bowling and fantastic catching to back them up. Blundell made a low catch to his right look regulation, which is what you'd expect of a keeper at this level. Latham's catch was a beauty as well.
This test series has been the perfect lead up for us.
1st test:
- Southee tearing shit up
- Kylo finding his rhythm and giving nothing away
- Conway starting out with a double century
- Runs for Nicholls
2nd test:
- Boult dusting off the cobwebs and taking a few wickets
- Rosco battling his way back into a bit of form
- More runs for Conway
- Ajaz has 4 wickets! Why the hell have we been picking Santner in tests?!
- Wagner looking in good form and getting a few wickets as well
And to top it off we are looking at an away test series win to get the mood in the camp sky high.
India - bring it on

Fuck. Time to shine son of John….
I have a feeling you and your positive attitude are somehow to blame for this.
We’re leading with wickets in hand. Quit complaining.
Having now lost 6/69, I wonder if we have to ban you from posting during the Final...
Have a look at the big picture. We’re doing ok now
