Black Caps vs England Series

Not just me not super excited!

[Chris B.]

Seifert's scoop shot off Carse on ball 1.2 is quite incredible.

Ends up pretty much performing a somersault, but watches the ball as he falls away and scoops it for six.

who would have seen staging cricket in the middle of spring, a full 6 weeks before Summer even begins would not be such a great idea..

@Virgil the accountants

So surprising it got rained off last night, the weather has been so settled this week. No way they could have predicted this.

I went.

Watched 3 balls.

Then after 20 minutes or so and checking the rain radar thought that it's pretty unlikely there would be a game. Unfortunately right.

Sparse crowd. Not sure how many didnt' show up because of the weather - I was in a group but otherwise would probably have not bothered

What were the T&Cs? Surely you get a refund.

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

and Foulkes.

not bad.

14/4

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?
