Black Caps vs England Series

[No Quarter]

Forecast actually looks OK today I think. Looking forward to the ODIs more than I did the T20s, see we have Kane back too which adds to the spectacle.

[No Quarter]

Pretty good start for Henry

Harry Brook leading the fightback for England. He's 60 not out

[No Quarter]

We are on top but it'd be great to see the back of Brook, he is some fucking player

[No Quarter]

Fuck it Brook is too good just get the rest of them out

[ARHS]

Hey I want my money's worth for my ticket. Be nice for Brook to get a ton and give us a decent score to chase. He is some quality batsman. Duffy really let engiand off the hook with some loose bowling earlier

[Bones]

@ARHS and now Duffy turns it on again to take England from an almost undefendable score to a decent score half an over.

[Donsteppa]

Awful bowling from our pace bowlers in the last half hour including Henry. Half track pies deservedly sent to and over the boundary. Complete contrast to the opening half hour.

[sparky]

Some performance by Harry Brook. 135 of England's 223 runs.

[Donsteppa]

Very much the Harry Brook and Friends Show with England with the bat.

[Bones]

What the fuck is this? I don't recall seeing anything like this before.

Is it common for the game to halt for ten minutes because the bowler decides he doesn't like his shoes after bowling two balls?

Surely he could bowl out his over then go fuck about?

[Bones]

Couple of bizarre reviews by England, then Braces tries to out bizarre them with a run that wasn't even on for Usain Bolt.

[Cyclops]

We should still win this comfortably from here still, but terrible run out when the asking rate was so low. If England pull it off that's the key moment for me (at least in this innings. What an insane innings from Brook in the first)

[sparky]

NZ win by 4 wickets and with more than 13 overs to spare.

[Godder]

We certainly tried to make that more of a contest than it should have been... At least we won, pre-Hesson, we'd have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Poms are going to enjoy his line and length not the best choice in my mind.

[Gunner]

Hmmm, that’s a really uninspiring choice.
He’s been there before and wasn’t up to it.

[frugby]

@Gunner Given the way the games are spaced out, I wonder if they feel they can just use the four they used on Sunday for all three games. Also have to remember, that there are about six injured... only other one really is Fisher, who didn't play for ND so is presumably also injured.
