Black Caps vs England Series

[Bovidae]

The catches taken so far, including Blundell's, only highlighted how poor NZ were in Chch.

[Chris B.]

Smith sends one down the leg side - Bethell goes after it and I think it gets his glove.

Blundell says (to me and others), "Fuck you - I can catch" and does!

@Virgil you lost to a team ranked below you. At home. By 8 wickets. And they're Poms.

[bayimports]

havent seen anything this morning, but just score, any drops this morning or have they actually practiced catching this week?

[Bovidae]

NZ won the first hour, England the second hour. Need an early wicket after lunch, preferably Brook.

[Cyclops]

Huh, that's the first time a seamer has been hit for a six in the first over a test. Ever! Southee loves sixes.

How has your team been going lately ?

Fuck you bloody…..

[bayimports]

Southee 7 overs no wickets and 5.42 economy.
Smith somewhat forgiven for going at 6.83 from 6 overs courtesy of 2 wickets.

But jeez thats some serious carnage from Pope and Brook

Not losing at home to Poms ranked below us.

Is the alternative better? Not much.

[MN5]

Brook is some god damn player. With the way he plays the wheels have to fall off eventually, but it’s taking ages !!!!!!

[bayimports]

Brook clearly liking the length. Even Bondy suggesting we should try more yorkers and change of pace, but nothing changed so far

[Rapido]

Shouldn't have given him an open net practice at Hagley. The price of being a pathetic rabble doesn't just end if you do some extra catching practice coz youve been caught being naughty. They will be paying the Brook price for all 3 weeks.

Are you used to seeing 6 . . 4 6 . yet?

[Chris B.]

Much better hundred by Brook, this one.

Played and missed a bit, but I don't think he's given a proper chance?

[Chris B.]

O'Rourke gets Pope, who flirted with hitting one straight up last over. This time it goes to hand and Rachin takes it after flirting with not.

No one likes a meany, you're very close to losing your trophy for Best Supporter.

[Chris B.]

And now WOR gets Stokes.

221/6 and our noses are back in front.

Would be handy to get Brook now and have bowlers batting at both ends.
