England v New Zealand (2nd test)

[Lawrenceslongthrowin]

Why not just bat a bit time

 

[Voice of fair play]

No excuse for keep picking the same shite again and again. The writing was on the wall after India.

The bottom line is they is no better out there, if you discarding the rested players

 

[Bears Beets]

How much do they need to declare, you reckon?

Unfortunately we can’t declare as wood didn’t get 30

 

[Mr Redknapp]

I would declare now and have a crack at the Kiwi's tonight

 

[Bears Beets]

Stone holding us together

 

[jaraarrow]

This lot have no chance in the ashes
Disgusting

 

[Bears Beets]

The miracle of Cardiff will have nothing on this one
2 full days to hold out

Absolutely shite

 

[Jack Torrance]

Fuck me, we’re still batting. Any chance of rain

 

[Shandy drinker]

Fuck me, we’re still batting. Any chance of rain

30 degrees tomorrow

 

[Jack Torrance]

30 degrees tomorrow

At least they’ll get to watch the football

 

[SAFC11]

Good job we batted out a draw last game

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

They're just not very good, people get a tad carried away with this test side.

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Absolutely spannered. Great venue, great atmosphere, Brummie people were absolutely brilliant.

Cannit see any of these top three ever having a long test career tbh. You'd be lucky to beat Zimbabwe when you're 20/3 (which we are quite often).

 

[smoker]

Disgraceful performance. Absolutely disgusting and a betrayal of excellent fans.

Terrible decision not to even attempt to chase that total. Said everything about the mentality of the team currently and new zealand have taken full advantage of it.

Also this policy of resting players in tests against superior opposition is just not working. We don't have the strength and depth to do it.

Slightly concerning the direction this group is headed.

These batsmen are not worthy. Without the bowlers we've got we'd be about 9th in the rankings. One-shot Sibley is an embarrassment to see in an England shirt.

At least Sibley contributes now and again. Crawley and Pope are utter shite

Look at what the likes of Pant and Gill as young batsmen did for India to the Aussies in a similar situation over the winter, played without fear and won them a series
