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

[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.

 

[Prince EWS]

No don't bowl slow now

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Uprooted!

 

[Prince EWS]

Too quick for him.

 

[Cabinet96]

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.

 

[thierry henry]

lol that was such a nothing ball, how did he miss it?

 

[Howe_zat]

This'll be a pretty ordinary score.

 

[Cabinet96]

Wickets have all been a bit soft haven't they?

 

[Days of Grace]

Does anyone know some streaming sites? Pay or non-pay, I don't care, just want to watch the game. Willow.tv doesn't have the coverage for this series.

PM me if you have anything.

 

[hendrix]

shocked to see that there may be a chaseable total.

so batting lineup:

Guptill
Watling
Williamson
Taylor
McCullum
Franklin
etc etc etc.

Actually quite like the look of that.

And that's the problem. Instead of steadily building the run rate over the course of the innings they've left it all for the hitters who have had to come in and hit immediately, which almost never works. The idea of deciding when to "go" is stupid. If you've paced your innings correctly there is no decision required and there is no reason to "go".

this this this.

It's why having taylor bat at 6 in the t20 world cup was stupid.

Indeed. The acceleration was quite sudden. Take it easy for the first 35 overs, then blitz. Funny really how one can go from fearing that the big hitters won't get time at the crease (and even the odd England fan expressing pleasure at Trott getting out) then have the last 5 overs being used by the bowlers.

Agree in theory but disagree that the English top order did too much wrong in this case. I just don't think England's innings was ever going that badly, I was more poking fun at the idea that they had taken "too long to go".

 

[Prince EWS]

Broad plays a **** ODI innings; will wonders never cease?

 

[Prince EWS]

Music so gun though.
