England v NZ cricket

Pajamas on now.

They need 88 off 6 overs I think.

Thanks for the post, did not know this was on!

The wicket counter on the scoreboard is ticking over faster than the run one.

I really can't get excited by T20, it's just slogging practice.

[steveT350C]

It is my least favourite form of the game

Dernbach is a fking tit. No need for any of this.

[steveT350C]

Just got back from shopping, guess its finished already. Did we win?

To be honest, I can take or leave either of the short forms of the game. 5 day test matches are a completely different game, although you can still get a one day run chase at the end.

I too prefer 20 to 50, however I can only get excited by a five day test.

50 overs : Flaccid
20 overs : Semi
5 days : Boner

One thing I love about T20 is even if you post a small total like 130, and the opposition gets off to a good start, 1-2 good overs and you can easily be back in the game.

Not going so well today - 24/3 chasing 192.

Oh dear, not looking likely at the moment.

It's OK we can talk about this again, an almighty thrashing dished out this morning. Hales 80 off 42 balls

2-1 England series victory, 1st ODI on Sunday

Excellent from England, did that last six leave the ground?

Even the crowd in NZ can't catch, $200 for a crowd catch today, first four all dropped...

No one to touch Hales when he is in that kind of groove.

Oh goody. I didn't even know the second one was on or had been played. Only just clocked this one listening to the radio this morning!! Fair weather fan? Me?

[Gargamel]

Personally I am quite pleased that for once on a tour we have things the right way round.

T20 then ODI then the tests, building up to the real cricket. Too many series the hit and giggle at the end is apathetic nonsense when all the players want to do is go home.

This is much better.

[hornetrider]

1st ODI just finishing now - squeaky tight finish. Kiwis favourite.

Jos was a few years below me In my house at school, he was unreal then and many people put money on him playing England

good to see him getting a good run of form

[Amirhussain]

McCullum's catch to dismiss Woakes was brilliant. England were in a great position with the bat at one point, but they just flopped towards the end. Grounds in New Zealand are tiny.
