[Cricket] 1st Test: England vs New Zealand @ Lords

[Titanic]

Anderson having fun out there... charging and heaving away toward mid-wicket to the one... went for FOUR over third slip!!

 

[Mackenzie]

Jimmy will get a ton here.

 

[Titanic]

This is now the HIGHEST total EVER made by a team losing their first four wickets for 30 or fewer in Test Match history.

388-9

 

[Badger]

I'm in contention....

me too

393ao I reckon

 

[Titanic]

Anderson c&b Henry for 11. Gently driven back to him.

England 389 all out.

 

[Knightsworld]

Jimmy will get a ton here.

Maybe not.

 

[Badger]

Dammit, only FOUR runs out.

£10 reinvested, on a NZ total of under 360 @ evens.

As an aside, over the past 9 tests (5 vs India, 3 vs West Indies and this one) Anderson has outscored Broad 147 runs to 121. Broad has been batting like a test No. 11 for the past year.

I was going to the club, but managed to find a live stream.

 

[OzMike]

Keeper should have had that.

He did not like the short stuff the Aussies bowled at him, but really since the Indian bowler splatted Broad's nose across his face, he has lost his bottle with the bat.

 

[OzMike]

No ball, bloody typical.

 

[Titanic]

12.5
Wood to Guptill, 1 no ball, straighter line, it bounces a little and takes the outside edge to first slip! Wood has his first Test wicket...oh no he doesn't! Wood has surely overstepped, what a calamity. It's so close but I don't think he's got anything behind the line here. Yep, no-ball called and Wood is robbed of a first wicket through his own fault, what a shame for him because it was a lovely delivery, angled in and straightening just enough to take the edge

Lunch Day 2

NZ 44/0

 

[OzMike]

A couple of early wickets after lunch would be in order.

 

[OzMike]

Got to bowl a bit fuller.

 

[pasty]

Enjoyed that piece about Botham. Will we ever see his like again in English cricket?

 

[OzMike]

Lets get Botham back on to bowl!

 

[OzMike]

Based on this it should be Stokes and Wood who should be opening the bowling.
