        Little bit of swing and little bit of seam early.

        Think we need early wickets, because a bit of wear on the ball and the sun out, this could settle into a road pretty quickly.

          Looks like we’ve bombed a chance at our first wicket...

          A little edge not reviewed

            @Bovidae said in Cricket: NZ vs England:

            @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

                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! πŸ™‚

                      Awful slip work from Taylor & Latham as they just let a catch go between them.

                      Both of them could have caught it pretty comfortably.

                          Colin jags Burns as well.

                          Finishes his over - strolls into the outfield, digs Southee in the ribs - and goes, "Who's got the best bowling average now, Timmy"! πŸ™‚

                              Annoyingly for Tim, at the start of the test he had a sub-30 bowling average and Colin was slightly over 30.

                              Now - if Tim concedes 4 more runs before he gets wicket, their positions will be reversed.

                                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 - 47.60

                                That's an average of 35.65 in that last set of 29 tests with just 3 tons.

                                  @KiwiPie 34 tests as captain at 40.18.

                                  Probably pretty highly correlated!

                                      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.
