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

[luckyeddie]

You keep getting knocked over for low and moderate totals, nz make them look decent by capitulating for 60 in one dig and these ****wits carry on like England has posted 650 and have a world class batting line up. It's laughable.

Dip your bread - I mean, dip somebody else's bread.

As said this is the Eng/NZ thread......I'll happily have this conversation in the appropriate place.

There isn't a " that Burgey **** winds up english ****s" thread yet though. Probably about time tbh

 

[Burgey]

Yeah, serious problems. It's certainly much more dignified to just consistently lose like Australia have been doing.

I rather think you're missing the point, but if you want to join the cheer squad which thinks England's batting will put the 1948 Australian side to shame, by all means feel free.

On a side note, Trent Boult > Usain Boult. Discuss.

 

[uvelocity]

someone needs to get skiddy back for the ashes though

 

[hendrix]

can someone put together a side-on compilation of Finn bowling?

 

[Jarquis]

How much better is Australia's bowling attack going to be? Serious question.

 

[Flem274*]

nah atherton I'd take Watling as a pure batsman over Guptill every time

Don't think Usain Bolt does any field events, let alone discus.

Yessssss

Well I think Boult is better than Starc but Starc may not play. Will anyone bowl as well as Southee has?

Potentially Australia have a very good attack but with their fitness records and the fact that many are on their first ashes tour it could also go horribly wrong quite quickly for them.

Martin better than Lyon also.

Both better than Swann. His captain refuses to bowl him. Has no faith

could be miles better, could be significantly worse, tbh.

I think Southee and Boult are an excellent opening pair, but there's weakness with Wagner and Bracewell/the spinner.

The 3rd and 4th seamers spots are where Bird and/or Peter Siddle are significantly better.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

****. ****. ****. Stop being good damnit

 

[Spark]

How

 

[Flem274*]

well here we go

 

[BoyBrumby]

Taylor looks like he was just for pace there.

 

[Spark]

That's just ****ing bizarre. Finn didn't land two balls in remotely the same place in that over and still gets a wicket.

 

[_Ed_]

Arrrghhhh.

Hmm, but which Starc will turn up? A bit like Dougeh in that respect.
