***Official*** England in New Zealand series 2013

[KiWiNiNjA]

Great bowling, but NZ allowing England to dominate and putting unneeded pressure on themselves.

So dumb.

 

[Jarquis]

Bit village from Rutherford was that

 

[hendrix]

Can't take so long to get yourself in and get out like that.

yeah, both Watling and Rutherford panicked.

No need to worry about a slow start on a pitch like this.

 

[BeeGee]

OMG, a ****ing single

What's wrong with the pitch, not doing a lot is it?

I think he meant that you can catch up easily on a pitch like this.

I'd be looking to get Woakes on reasonably soon. Preferably he'd be bowled out before 40 overs for me.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Nah, he's saying there's nothing wrong with the pitch. So a slow start could have been overcome.

Of course, being mental-nutcase NZ batsman, they panicked.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

This is all to familiar to the Wellington T20.

 

[Jarquis]

He'll be on from Jimmeh's end though and I'd keep him going until he can't bowl anymore.

Leg stump half volley dead batted to short mid wicket. Sums up this innings.

 

[straw man]

Enjoying Jeremy Coney and someone (name? Can't recognise the voice) on the radio.

Horrible start to the cricket by all accounts though. So shocked at being on the verge of a series win that we don't know what to do.

Ok, fair enough, but I'm glad we're keeping our opening bowlers for a long time, neither are particularly good at the end of the innings, and this score is putting pressure on the batsmen against the new bowlers.

Woakes now in.

 

[Pothas]

He'll be on from Jimmeh's end though and I'd keep him going until he can't bowl anymore.

Yeah but they never will, hoping he would get more than 6 though.

 

[Jarquis]

131ks with the wind from Broad, had better be a loosener.

 

[Prince EWS]

I'd be looking to get Woakes on reasonably soon. Preferably he'd be bowled out before 40 overs for me.

I don't really disagree but you could say the same for Anderson and I don't think going into the 40 over mark with just Broad and Finn bowling 5 each straight is really a great idea; they'd get used to it.

 

[Jarquis]

Short and wide, full and straight to a field set for short and straight... grr

 

[Jarquis]

I don't really disagree but you could say the same for Anderson and I don't think going into the 40 over mark with just Broad and Finn bowling 5 each straight is really a great idea; they'd get used to it.

Would genuinely rather Swann bowled the 41st and 43rd or something

The NZ quick single
1970-2013

You will be missed

[Jarquis]

Woakes into the wind is the same pace as Broad with it, heh

 

[Cabinet96]

I'd probably still leave a couple of overs of Swann, just for varieties sake. I still think Anderson is a better death bowler than Woakes though. He's slightly quicker, can get more reverse swing and is generally more accurate IMO.

I'd probably try and have something like this for the last 10 overs; 4 for Broad, 3 for Finn, 2 for Swann, 1 for Anderson. But obviously it depends on a variety of factors.
