[Cricket] New Zealand vs. England 2nd Test Cello Basin Reserve, Wellington

[Triggaaar]

This is why Test Cricket is the best format, we are all staying up way past our bedtimes on the Fifth day because either side could win...

When you say 'we are all', I'm not sure it's that many of us. And unfortunately, as I replied earlier, most tests aren't as exciting as the Stokes tests.

Anyway, have they fixed his knee?

 

[Triggaaar]

I don't think these 3 in the studio do much betting

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Commentators trying their best to get excited about some very average bowling

 

[Triggaaar]

"It's a good battle this"

Between Bracewell and the injured Stokes that is.

 

[Albion in the north]

Southee is the bowler that has looked the most up for it. Once Root and Stokes took the sting out of the game its been fairly tame. Im off to bed. Please dont do anyhting rash whilst Im sleeping.

Bugger...

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Bugger...

Why Stokes why? He had a brain fart

 

[Triggaaar]

That's torn it.

 

[albionfan37]

And that’ll be that

 

[Eeyore]

Root told Wagner exactly what he was doing there. That pre-meditated sweep ? They play this game so well and then take these silly risks which just aren't needed. They were comfortably bringing this home.

You say they, but I don't think it's fair to Stokes, who lasted a long time on one leg. Root made a mistake, but he got nearly 250 for 1 in this test. His real big mistake was running out Brook.

 

[Triggaaar]

Calm down Stewie

Seems he's just going to throw his wicket away

 

[Eeyore]

Chants of 'Seagulls' from a small group in the crowd as a bird stops play.

 

[Eeyore]

Loads of singles out there when they spread the field. Trouble is, it's all bumpers.

Albion away shirt in the background. Little gathering out there.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Last three wickets have been self inflicted.

 

[knocky1]

Have I missed anything? Just been looking at Babestation. Stokes had more agility than them this morning and I'd probably get as much a thrill texting Leach and asking him to stroke his nipples and put his hand in his pants.

 

[Eeyore]

HAS to take the singles.

 

[Triggaaar]

HAS to take the singles.

Why? Commentator saying he took 1 run, but could have been 3 - but no it couldn't, it would have been 1 and then Leach facing more deliveries.

Leach and Anderson aren't good enough to survive this.

Foakes will see it home with Leach or Anderson.
