New Zealand vs England - 2nd test day 3.

[Zesh Rehman]

They're both go any minute now

What did i say? YES

Ambrose drops Fleming, time for Ambrose to be dropped?!

I see what you're doing here Kev - likening it to the Prior situation but he has just been nominated MOM so can't see him getting dropped.

He scored a ton in the first innings, flopped in the 2nd and didnt do too bad behind the stumps, not exceptional, but how did that warrant MOM.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

All the players who scored runs scored at a healthy rate... England had better start batting more aggresively otherwise this will be a false dawn

We only went and won it.

When he joined Colly at the Wicket on the first day, we were 136 for 5 and looking down the barrel of a gun. Ambrose turned the game, he "owned" the Partnership with Colly and bossed the Kiwi bowling. It was the difference between winning and losing the match, so a well deserved MOM. His indifferent keeping shouldn't detract from what was a critical innings

Especially as the wicket for the third test is apparently a flat track batters heaven.
