@Snowy said in Cricket: NZ vs England:
Whilst I agree with the discontent over the selection I am looking forward to the test and in particular the TSF crew in the crowd who are bound to draw attention to the cameras.
They shouldn't be hard to spot:
No rain cloud is going to ruin my test match.

Unfortunately that is exactly what they do (unless we are losing then they are great).
It also wouldn't have to be a cloud to rile some of us old fcks. Just some grass, a weed, whatever, it's enough for a rant.

@bayimports The Bay Oval will have more pace and bounce than Seddon Park so if you are wanting to play Ferguson against England this was the test to do it in.
so like consistently not being able to make good calls about when to use their umpiring challenges, they potentially also make another consistent poor call on the pitch ..time will tell I guess, but I agree @Bovidae it looks like a missed opportunity already
Boult to Burns, no run, beats the bat, there's an appeal for caught behind... Boult looked uncertain, and New Zealand decide not to review! Excellent delivery, Burns sucked into playing as it zipped through past the outside edge
and so as night follows day.. NZ maintain their shitty calling record

It appears we have all the early penetration of @chimoaus when he is tired
-
i know i shouldn't, but i am still offended that CdGH is a first-change test bowler.
And he's jagged a wicket too the jammy prick.
Also, do you think that cricinfo have a macro that auto-fills the commentary with "Wagner to Burns, no run, short again"
-
@mariner4life He's jagged 36 test wickets....averaging just a fraction over 30.
He's also averaging nearly 40 with the bat.
He's pushing John Reid and Chris Cairns out of our all time team!

Sub 30 average with the ball now...
900 runs @ 39 and 37 wickets @ 29,
Cairnsy who! -
What is wrong with Root in test cricket these days? Basically off the face of the bat to slip.
STAT ATTACK
Root is in his 87th test.
After 29 tests he averaged 54.02.
58 tests - 54.07
87 tests - 47.60That's an average of 35.65 in that last set of 29 tests with just 3 tons.

Santner with that excellent 39 bowling average ...
Yeah, 5 an over too. An "holding" spinner...
Looks like a few of us might have been right about that selection. Hopefully it all breaks up and he is of some use other than batting.
