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

[Meridio]

**** it, Kane. Ball was not there to cut.

Dunedin Weather - NZ Weather Forecast Dunedin from MetService.com

Weather forecast is looking better, no rain predicted. Not great, but should get most of the remaining 2 and a half days in.

Keep going Hamish!! NZ 500 would be primo.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Rutherford and England now tied.

 

[straw man]

Haha, I love England cricket fans. Nice of them to sing happy birthday to Ross.

Barmy Army are brilliant

 

[Zinzan]

Damn - Williamson was accumulating so nicely too. Not an unusual dismissal for him unfortunately.

Yeah, that was premeditated from Williamson. He needs to learn that his strength off the backfoot will also be a weakness if he continues with it regardless of the delivery. He may have quick footwork but was always going to be susceptible trying to cut an arm-ball like that.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

So when would we consider declaring if it came to that?

Bat positively and try to get close to 450 with about 10 overs left in the day - need ~4 an over to get there. Then declare imo

 

[Son Of Coco]

Catching some of this on the big screen at the library, needless to say it's been a pleasure to watch. Would like to see our brothers from across the ditch get another 300 or so runs in front.

Joe Root should be doing porn movies with that name.

 

[straw man]

No sign of this happening here at present, but I don't want to see Taylor and McCullum in particular thinking here that the situation calls for them to play highly aggressive innings and really pile on the humiliation.

Don't give England a chance so easily - a good team here would grind the opposition into the dust. Don't slog until we lead by 250.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Super gay balls.

What a tame way to go.

 

[Meridio]

Ah, crap. Odd dismissal. Great innings by Rutherford though.

 

[BeeGee]

Where's McCullum? Avoiding the new ball?

 

[Jarquis]

Tame end. Epic knock

 

[straw man]

Great innings Rutherford, the double would have been great but he can be v proud of that.

We could still make a mess of this here and only lead by 200. Pleased Brownlie has come in here ahead of McCullum.

Haha, Brownlie good at the edge through slips

 

[Burgey]

Haha, Joe Root having a fine match here.

Great knock Rutherford. Well played.

 

[Jarquis]

That's diabolical.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Dropped 'em.

Thank ****.

AWTA.

Thought McCullum was going to bat 5? Brownlie in instead.

 

[straw man]

Root must want the earth to swallow him up

 

[Kippax]

McCullum will be shielded from the first both new balls....

No just kidding, I heard McCullum at 6 mentioned in radio commentary on day 1.

This.

Which is why I was pleased with what Williamson was doing until he ****ed it up.

This is the first time Taylor and Brownlie have come into a situation like this.
