1st Test New Zealand v England

[Pevenseagull]

Ambrose facing Vetorri

good boy

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Another thing is that the aggressive batting we used to have under Fletecher has been replaced by the same old 2-3 an over. Rubbish

 

[pasty]

Well theres an example of just how dull it is. I've just woken up on the sofa. At least we've avoided the follow on. Draw likely now I reckon.

 

[pasty]

England 286/6 at stumps.

[John Bumlick]

[pasty]

[Pevenseagull]

Ryan S and the catches today have given me a semi

 

[dougdeep]

Why couldn't we have bowled like that in the first innings?

 

[pasty]

Why couldn't I have stayed awake and seen it rather than fall asleep on the sofa again and miss the only exciting bit of cricket in this entire test so far

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

147-8 at the close.

Lead of 269

One day to go.

 

[SNOOBS]

Lets says we bowl them out with a lead of 300, do we have a chance?

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Nope, not realistically - scoring quick runs has been really hard on this pitch. If you go after the ball you lose your wicket. Should be a solid draw unless the pitch really has started taking turn in which case, don't count your chickens.....

 

[Simster]

f*** it! I went to BED after we were bowled out, and I missed a TREAT.
