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

[Bonnie Prince C]

England need a big performance out of Cook and Bell I feel. Having a bloke without an LA 50 at #7 shows the strength of England's batting today.

Having said that anything around a par score and they should have more than enough bowling strength to win the match.

A par score batting first in Hamilton is never enough.

One could argue no score batting first in Hamilton is enough.

Kyle Mills with the new ball in an ODI. This is what it's all about people.

I'm gonna be changing my pants every over.

Good see that you're allowed a loosener in International cricket nowadays.

Umpires are nice chaps.

- My son, just now.

You must be a proud father.

 

[Pothas]

Least dynamic ODI top four in world cricket?

Nah seen some plenty dnyamic looking leaves already.

Maiden first up. Never in doubt.

 

[Cabinet96]

Hopefully Mills will just be getting a short burst up top. Need to save him for the death.

I was hoping I'd seen the last of S Ravi after we'd left India. What's he doing here for FFS? WAC.

It's written in to his contract.

 

[grecian]

Hmm, well I'll guess I'll stay up for Buttler's innings should be soon.

 

[Bonnie Prince C]

My picture is a bit laggy due to it being on a mobile, but it looked like Cook just missed a straight ball?

 

[Mike5181]

That ball was noticeably faster than what he's been bowling so far. Good stuff, Mitch.

 

[Pothas]

That Victor Chandler advert really upsets me.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Looks like Cook was just done for pace there. Massive gate he left, any road.

McClenaghan makes 137kmh look plenty quick enough.

 

[Cabinet96]

Trott always seems so aesthetically pleasing to me. Never got the dislike for his batting, joy to watch. That clip through mid-wicket

McClenaghan makes 137kmh look plenty quick enough.

Indeed. And weren't the likes of Dinda registering higher not so long ago? Just shows how there's more to speed than just the figure on the speed gun.

Bell > Trott for good looking batting.

Certainly a partnership at current that purists should enjoy.

Swing. Areas. Mills.
