Second Test - NZ v England

Disappointing we couldn't at least finish the over . Light rules are ridiculous but that's the way it is . Good game of cricket played in a great spirit ,between two fairly evenly matched teams.
 
We got all our scheduled overs in today but couldn't use them.

Shite winter. Bayliss fuck off.

That's probably not a bad shout really. They won't get rid of him, but it would make sense to get someone in for the Test team and let him continue with the white ball team(s).
 
England can't really complain about the time, they were given 101 overs today.

They had enough time no doubt, but to end the game when there were 2 balls left of an over and time for another over after that is the kind of backwards thinking that will ruin Test Cricket. Nobody can tell me that the light was so much worse between ball four and what would've been ball five of that over. NZ would've survived anyway, I'd put my house on it - but that's not the point.
 
8th Wicket went for 31 overs. Unacceptable really.

Stoneman was the biggest culprit today, two regulation catches that could very well have won the match.
When England were good we had an amazing fielding team, we used to ridicule Pieterson for being rubbish, we now have more KP's than Colly's!

This. It can't be beyond the wit of our team to take ten wickets in four sessions, in the fourth innings, with supposedly the top ranked test bowler in the world.

Bayliss needs to go.
 
The biggest disappointment for me was the first test, we were given 2 days of rain and couldn't bat it out for a draw, really poor

No complaints here, great test match, we played well, not quite good enough to beat them

We bowled far too many bouncers at their tail, they are tail enders, bowl top of off and they will get out

Leach looks a decent cricketer, and we should move on from Ali now I think, although he bowled to full today

These are 2 really matched sides, should play more and have bigger series
 
So we have another 5-0 winter from England.

Will the review find pietersen responsible.

Come the first test I expect at least ten who played this game to start.
