This is all a bit too easy for New Zealand right now. Clipping along at 6 an over without really having to take any risks.

Time I started drinking.

Over cautious from umpire there? Same one that gave Roy out without him hitting the ball.

Dharmasena is consistently rubbish. Would be interested to know the number of wrong decisions he makes per game.

He's a great umpire (and obviously one of the worlds best) who has made a couple of bad decisions recently. You can clearly see him saying "I didn't hear anything" when not giving that out. To be honest I am constantly in awe at just how good most of these umpires are in what is one of the hardest jobs there is.

Slightly off topic. Watching Wimbledon has made me admire the line judges. Serves relying down around 120 mph. Rather them than me.

Yep, I'm in constant admiration of them as well. How on earth they can maintain that concentration and get the vast majority of decisions correct at that speed is a mystery to me.
