First Test - England v NZ

[HarrogateMackem]

How are NZ doing?? im a new zealander myself so hopeing to at least put up a fight this test.

Last 10 overs - 28 runs.

We're getting a move on now.

 

[Steak Pie]

At the age of 21 to have 83 first class wickets at 28 and a batting average of nearly 37 having played all his cricket in division one is outstanding. Once he has matured a bit and gets that consistency which will come sooner rather than later it will be Englands gain

Neither is good enough as of yet.

Trotty gone now.

Its spitting apparently and the lights are on too .....Current run rate is 1.97...that's dozing off cricket...NZ bowling and fielding well here

Ive been fairly impressed with NZ thus far. Id much rather see a contest than a one sider.

TBF we are a disiplined side in terms of bowling.... its just our batting isnt the best.... other then brendon we dont have any real stars unfourtunatly

Proper cricket. Block. Block. Leave. Leave. Block. Nudge the single.

If England are struggling to make runs one assumes NZ will find it just as tough if not harder as England on paper have a far superior batting line up

 

[Mr Redknapp]

slow his like...

138 runs in 2 and a half sessions

That should be the case. Unless the pace of the pitch changes?

 

[Safc_Luke]

Tough day for England.

 

[SAFC 2012]

That was utterly depressing

 

[chelt_mackem]

Not the most scintillating day's play, but a good solid batting performance from England, and proper cricket beats the white ball every time. Just need to up the run rate a bit in the morning to get ourselves a good lead.

To lift the gloom, ive just been listening to geoff boycotts espn podcast where he ponders the meaning of life, and the optimum way to cut holes in your boots.

Well worth a listen, imo.

Link me up hefty! That could be better than the days play.

 

[dangermows]

Why is everyone so down on the days play? If it was interesting day, where it was evens between bat and ball. I actually thought New Zealand bowled well today.
