1st TEST :: New Zealand v England

[wayne entwhistle no9]

Jaffa from Smith. Bounce and movement away from the bat.

 

[redandwhiterob]

10 runs from 34 deliveries, will be giving orgasms from you know who m
TBF he has shown potential with his approach to test cricket.

At that strike rate he'll get a free pass by a few

 

[zebediah]

In a strange way, that innings from Bethel may help Joe, for once he is not walking in to bat following a team of blast merchants.

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

It’s ridiculous that Root has to come out before lunch.

Is that because he will be at the back of the dinner queue?

 

[Aidan11]

Oh shit.

 

[scotch]

Ah ffs

 

[zebediah]

Spoke to soon

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Time for bed

 

[Aidan11]

Pope might be batting at 6 but he could be batting before 20 overs have been bowled.

 

[brandon]

It’s ridiculous that Root has to come out before lunch.

I reiterate. They NEVER stay on the field if a wicket falls in the over before lunch. So why today?

 

[zebediah]

Smith making his debut looking like a 1970's 40 something, got to love him.

 

[scotch]

Relying on Duckett, Brook, Stokes and Pooe to get close to the kiwi score.

 

[Aidan11]

Big trouble now.

I dread seeing the score when I wake up tomorrow (or technically today).

 

[zebediah]

Relying on Duckett, Brook, Stokes and Pooe to get close to the kiwi score.

Feels like defeat already to me, but just can never begrudge the wonderful country that is NZ.
They are like the best of the UK in the 70's, combined with the best of the UK now.

 

[Keith S30S]

Up to our necks in shite.

 

[mackembhoy]

I reiterate. They NEVER stay on the field if a wicket falls in the over before lunch. So why today?

Yes hadn't twigged that. Not really sure.

Let's just wait and see

 

[Fleagle]

I reiterate. They NEVER stay on the field if a wicket falls in the over before lunch. So why today?

They stay on if there’s not less than three minutes to go when the wicket falls. All the messing about over checking for the no ball meant it was probably about time by the point Root faced his first ball but that’s not relevant.

 

[The Shepherd]

Pleasantly surprised at 259/5...Brook just reached his century.

 

[bernardbresslaw]

Where can I watch this?
