England in New Zealand

[An Tarbh]

58-4 at lunch with Bell gone caught and bowled to Elliot, don't think it's too premature to be calling a NZ win in this one.

at lunch 58/4 pretty slow going by the english, only peiterson getting some runs.

will be an interesting days play i think from here if we cant get peiterson out.

still well in control for New Zealand despite Pietersen's ton, get either of Broad or Sidebottom quiclky and you're well set

 

[An Tarbh]

Certainly a case of swings and roundabouts in this one, New Zealand well in control having bowled England out cheaply and well set for a hefty first innings score of their own on 93-1 at lunch only to be skittled over for 168 and now England have a lead of 162 with 8 wickets remaining, any more twists in store tomorrow or can England kick on thanks to Sidebottom yet again coming up trumps.

Man the black caps are useless! They bowled well but they bat like sh*t! Some of the shot option taking are among the worst ever!

 

[nam97]

England have a monster in their bowling attack who answers to the name Sidebottom.

 

[An Tarbh]

Big wicket for Vetorri there and a quality catch from Taylor to get rid of Pietersen, reasonably cheaply as well, pressure's on Strauss now to see a big lead built here.

Ah that O'Sullivan story was hilarious. Shame it didn't work though :lol:

Can't believe the way England have got themselves out of such a mess on the first day. Very impressed with them for once, but have to say NZ have been pretty poor. Still, series victory unless we badly **** up tonight!

also, want to see Monty bag a load of wickets, but fear sideshow bob may beat him to it...

Panesar fear's Tim Southee.

Went from 6 for 79 to 6 for 126 in the space of 3 overs.
