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

[straw man]

So far today we've scored 123 for 5

Haha, great spot.

Perfect chance here for Southee to play exactly the sort of innings he wants to play.

 

[straw man]

Even when Southee actually scores runs, his batting still pisses off all his fans. An enigma.

That's just Bahnz trying to give a compliment

Darlingface gonna Darlingface.

 

[Burgey]

Watching vintage Viv on Fox 2. Southee and everyone else can gagf

 

[BeeGee]

Botham can go **** himself with a limp celery stick.

What did Beefy say?

 

[Adders]

Even though the Kiwis wont be happy with today, they still haven't allowed us to run through them.......when McCullum went I was hopeful of wrapping them up for not much over 400.

Contributions from all the middle order are gonna still see them post a score they "shouldn't" lose from.

 

[BeeGee]

What did Beefy say?

Nothing.

I just don't like the prick.



Another 50 and we'll be sweet.

This innings is more than useful.

 

[straw man]

Was complaining about the Kookaburra balls before - not sure if that's what Beegee is referring to.

Combination of barely pressed modern bats and Southee's use of the edge makes for a broken bat.

Still a very very handy 30 from Southee here so far.

 

[Pothas]

Monty. That is not very good.

 

[hendrix]

Watling + Southee = Prior.

Such a useful player.

Yeah, that and everything else that's ever come out of his mouth.

This is the perfect situation for Southee, putting the icing on the cake.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Yeah, that and everything else that's ever come out of his mouth.

But he loves this country with a passion.

Gushes.

How can you hate him?

 

[Mike5181]

34 overs remaining in the day. Thoughts on when/if we should declare? I think we try to get 500 within the next 14-15 overs, and then declare. That's around a run a ball, not unrealistic if Southee gets going. We'd then have 20 overs to bowl at 100% intensity, and hopefully we grab a couple of early wickets.

 

[James]

Think that's asking a bit much Mike5181, especially with the batting to come. I'm predicting somewhere around 450-465 all out with around 15 overs at England tonight.

Gushes.

Because he's an arrogant prick who could never be wrong.

Ahahaha. Will be just happy to get past 450, with Southee spooning one shot per over up in the air.

 

[Mike5181]

We'll see. I don't think 80 runs from Watling, Southee, Martin, Wagner, and Boult is unrealistic.

 

[Flem274*]

Swing until we're out. We need to be bowling tonight for at least an hour. If we have an hour left and we're still batting, declare then.
