England Cricket Tour Of NZ

[kiwiling]

I'd particularly like to be there right now with NZ needing 420+ to win.

The Barmy Army are having a ball...and Wellington on a fine day is a particularly nice place to watch cricket...I am not raising the white flag just yet...especially if the wind comes up...bowlers have a hard job running into the wind there.

Funny you should say that.
Weather's turned crap overnight.

Weather's turned crap overnight.

England making it hard for themselves with some loose out cricket.

But you'd have to back them to take the four wickets needed.

Weather forecast sunny

[Plan B]

^ Reckon they'll do it with not too many worries.

Sunny weather's good. Might get some washing done.

Congratulations to the MCC. Well played. NZ are such grateful hosts inviting James Anderson down to practice on our wickets...well done Auckland Cricket Association...I don't think.

Now to Napier...probably a draw there.

...anybody watching?..seriously though Ryan Sidebottom has been a revelation.

New Zealand lost any hope of winning this test after the dreadful batting they exhibited yesterday. That was Ugly (yes, it deserves a capital U). They can only hope to hang on for a draw and their chances of doing that aren't looking so hot.

...to say the least!

Happy Days!

Where is Waikikamukau in Thailand? It is near Eketahuna in NZ isn't it?

[Cyrille]

England poised for their first away series win since 2005.

Congratulations to England on their test series win. The half hour after lunch was entertaining though. Tim Southee's 77 off of 40 balls was something special for someone on their test debut, eh?

Good one England.

Looks like you can. How's Sunday next month for you?
