1st TEST :: New Zealand v England

[Aidan11]

Buzzing for him. But what a stupid bloke for costing himself a cap today!

Had he been able to play, I wonder if Pope would have been dropped from the side.

 

[Ghfd]

What does the pitch look like ?

Bit spicy if they inserted

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Did Gower just say the pitch in Rawalpindi had been “raped”?

Or did I miss that

I hope not. He'll never been heard from again!!

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

I hope not. He'll never been heard from again!!

I’ve just played it back, I think he did. A piss poor choice of language

 

[Ghfd]

Raked , Shirley

Could he have said "raked"?

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Raked , Shirley

Maybe it was that. I could be wrong

Anyway, we move on

Could he have said "raked"?

Yeah that could be it

 

[mackembhoy]

What does the pitch look like ?

Bit spicy if they inserted

Still plenty of green. But the heat definitely burnt some off

Was the same colour as the outfield yesterday!

But it's the equivalent of May in CLS where you'd choose to field if you win the toss. But could be a bad toss to loss cos of the heat too

 

[Ghfd]

Bit of swing about or is it seam off the pitch ?

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Terrible throw

 

[Hyltons finest]

Bashir ffs

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Could he have said "raked"?

In my defence, the sentence before was that the pitches had been abused.

But I’ll shut up now

 

[NorthCountryBoy]

you can get 11/10 on NZ to win this. Looks class value considering our top 6.

 

[David Brent]

Great catch. He looks a hell of a test find this lad

Mate of mine works for the ECB was fuming when he was picked ahead of Pottsy in the Summer, still won't admit he's wrong.

 

[mackembhoy]

Bit of swing about or is it seam off the pitch ?

Pitch too hot for much swing.

If we'd started this game tomorrow I reckon it would have hooped around corners.

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

First bit of village on the tour by Bashir.

 

[Ghfd]

Just seen a stat. England 52 to New Zealand 13 in test wins

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

I wasn’t convinced at the time. But he’s been excellent

Still looks like he owns several XL bully’s mind

Point of order FTECB
