Black Caps vs England Series

[Cyclops]

Meanwhile, the black caps are 93/0 at lunch after being put in. First session of the series to not have o wicket fall.

NZ without loss at lunch? Has the team that went to India finally found the ground?

Dead rubber

Ravindra once again with all of the talent and little temperament.

[Donsteppa]

As for Southee, at least we get to finally flush the dunny at the end of this match.

A great player who didn't know when to quit.

[Stag]

WTF? That looked a clear no ball???

Can’t help but agree. Needs to really address that…..or perhaps we have to accept that’s how he plays, kind of our version of David Gower or Mark Waugh.

He’s not at their level yet either

[MN5]

KW getting a run of uncharacteristic neither here nor there scores and we’re stuck in a VERY familiar position this series.

England have the initiative now

[Donsteppa]

An afternoon of half assed batting.

Who is the nz batting coach? Ronchi?

I'm no longer sure that there is one....

On a positive note. While it is Southee's last test, it is also almost definitely Stead's last test.

Did I miss something, I thought he was locked in for a few more years?

[Bovidae]

Turned the TV on to see Blundell hit a four and then chase a wide delivery the very next ball to be caught. That sums up the Blackcraps.

[Rapido]

What a rabble.

Appropriate send off of brainless betting for our quota player. One more time

He's got 6 months to go. No tests in that time.

Who’s next?

Fleming? Vettori?

[Rapido]

A repeat of christchurch day one. A day of hitting catchable shots all day.

Does that mean tomorrow will be another 6 dropped catches day?

Wouldn't be able to compete with IPL.

Vettori not good enough for ipl anymore though.

[Cyclops]

Question is whether coaching NZ is a bucket list thing for Fleming. Bond would be another guy I'd love to have back involved, but again competing with IPL.

Whose coaching domestically? Canterbury have been doing pretty well under Peter Fulton who has been in the setup before. Wellington have also looked decent under Jurgenson who was also previously in the black caps setup. Not sure who's at the other sides.

Daniel on a nice wee earner as Australian bowling coach .and Head coach of the Hyderabad sunrisers.
