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

[ohnoitsyou]

One ball moved off the seam and beat McCullum so that's somewhat encouraging. England have bowled a tad short though

Hmm, hopefully there will be some swing in the air later

 

[straw man]

Shot Bartin!

 

[BeeGee]

Martin driving Anderson for four. So awesome.

 

[sonnench]

Did he just call Jimmy Anderson the best bowler in the world?

 

[BeeGee]

Good knock, McCullum.

 

[Mr_Ronan]

This is an unmitigated slaughter. It will be a travesty if NZ don't win this match. Kindly **** off rain.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Wagner to have a quick tonk, and then get England in please.

 

[Cabinet96]

Think Broad deserved a wicket there tbf. Been pretty unlucky this morning.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

daft shot, but great innings

 

[Meridio]

Blast. Important innings by McCullum though; sure, he was coming in at plenty/4, but we needed to shut England out of the game and he's done that.

 

[straw man]

Excellent knock by McCullum. Batting down the order it's going to be very very rare for him to come in in this sort of situation, but here he made the most of it.

 

[BeeGee]

Martin to open?

 

[L Trumper]

This is an unmitigated slaughter. It will be a travesty if NZ don't win this match. Kindly **** off rain.

What if England defend ala Brisbane? It won't certainly be a travesty until both innings are over.

 

[doesitmatter]

NZ should declare..keep their bowlers fresh mainly Wagner

 

[BeeGee]

I'd bet McCullum is looking for a 300 run lead.

 

[Hurricane]

Just have a swing lads.

 

[Mr_Ronan]

What if England defend ala Brisbane? It won't certainly be a travesty until both innings are over.

The key difference is that the Brisbane Test was not drastically shortened by rain. It would be a real shame if NZ don't win here solely because of the weather.

 

[Hurricane]

Just declare if we aren't going to have a tonk.

 

[Cabinet96]

Reckon it's Martin 50 then declare.

 

[straw man]

Will probably declare once the lead crosses 300 or Martin gets 50.
