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

Can he pull out like that?

Only when he's going in for a Root.

I think Franklin could do a decent job at the death here. He did well on the same ground in the T20 and was the only guy Buttler couldn't really hit. Slow back of a length deliveries can often be hard to hit at the back end of an innings, particularly considering many have struggled to time the ball when trying to hit on this pitch today.

Hi Cribb

[straw man]

Did he ever really lose it as a new ball ODI bowler though??

I think so from my admittedly sometimes hazy memory, but I haven't checked the numbaz on cricinfo or anything.

137kph, that's Franko-esque heat from Mills in his 10th

Speedo ****-up there obviously.

Hi Cribb

Fast swinging yorkers and bouncers coming right up tbh.

WOW. I know the boundaries are small, but FMD.

[BoyBrumby]

He's such an strong little fecker, Jos. What a shot.

[Pothas]

Wow.

[BeeGee]

Can he pull out like that?

I think it's called the rhythm method.

[KiWiNiNjA]

Buttler out?



Surely not possible.

[Howe_zat]

Went for it just a bit too quick there, given the dodgy tail, you'd think.

[Cabinet96]

Devastated. Will probably struggle to get 260 now.

[thierry henry]

lol, near-illegal full toss does the trick

England go from apparently taking too long to go, to going too early

Was there for the hit to say the least tbf.
