Black Caps v England Test series

[No Quarter]

Fucking hell, Boult and Sothee making mincemeat of the English in just 20 overs. I know the pink ball swings a bit but that is absolutely outrageous! Gutted I didn't watch that live...

[No Quarter]

Some really good bowling but fuck me some of those shots from the English batsmen were absolutely disgraceful.

50 up for steady the ship

Rain tomorrow. Glad we are scoring at a decent pace

50-0 so far in the battle of the captains/best batsmen. I'll take that.

Williamson outscores all 11 English batsmen...

[Paekakboyz]

Was there a pink ball special on match fixing or something??! just caught the wickets - jaysus you'd catch tetanus from the rust on those guys!

Overton outscored his 10 team mates

Latham playing a real old fashioned battling openers innings.

Maybe he's not son of Rod but son of Trevor Franklin?

So pleased I saw almost the whole innings live...I had to leave at around 28/9!

What do you mean you saw almost the whole innings?

You saw less than half of the runs.

Surely the bowler knows if he touched it. If not, then no way you can give it. Inconclusive as fuck.

[MN5]

Anderson and Broad have taken 923 wickets between them. Fuck that is a lot especially considering they're hardly spoken of in the hushed tones reserved for true greats of the game.

[Bovidae]

There is no reason to back up out of your crease so much in a test.

Will the bowler submit to a polygraph test before the umpire makes a ruling?

Gifting this back to the poms
Latham and Rosco throwing their wickets away with poor shots

[canefan]

Can Henry Nicholls give a better account of himself than he did in the ODIs? Rigor tells it like it is, Ross and Latham got out because of poor shot selection

[canefan]

Nicholls trying to get sent back to the pavillion

The two england reviews have been as bad as I've seen. LBW must be absolutely plumb to get overturned. Both would be good reviews for the batsmen if given out - no idea what the hell they were thinking.

The second one was particularly bad. Wide, high and never going to hit enoguh of the stumps to overturn a 'not out'. Poor captaincy unfortunately

[nzzp]

For the cricket tragics amongst us (we live among you!!!!), don't forget the SA AUS test kicks off about half nine NZ time. Could be another cracker. Dodgy cricket streams abound, I'm sure, as i don't think Sky is carrying this.
