Prior is probably still using the batch he got from India also.

Good work fella, he's done a cracking job of disguising it mind.

can barely tell unless it's someone off here looking lol

Why oh why did Prior play that shot when the new ball nearly due the plonker

[wilkie113]

Broad with a brain dead shot as well! Why am I awake watching this shower!

England pressing the self destruct button again... Does this mean NZ are better  than India, with England having won the test series there?

That is a very good question Tim, do you think it would have been different with Swann in the side?

I just think NZ have gained a little confidence and they all seem to have their heads up and are playing confident cricket. Amazing what confidence does..

Definitely mate, Boult's bowled well, attack of the left armers. Can't understand why he hasn't stuck us back in

[Number4]

I think Boult, Southee & Martin all bowled extremely well.. England have started well with the ball

I think New Zealand have done well in very limiting conditions - basically put out low, slow, lifeless decks and looked to play attritional cricket.  Quite impressed with tehir bowling optionsmind you - the three lads in this game have done well and Bracewell and McGlenahanare good options to boot.

... I've decided this winter that when I come up against a leftie spinner going around the wicket I'm going to bat on off stump. The idea being it means anything just outside off stump is a drive and anything on middle to off is a drive also. Anything wider down towards leg is easy pickings off my legs.

Anyone know or think there will be a obvious flaw with that compared to just staying on middle stump guard?? Any left arm spinners in the house???

Speaking as an ex SLA myself, the biggest flaw in the plan is that lots of lefties don't turn it that much, and your LBW risk is much increased if they consistently put it on off stump. I'd also bowl flatter and shorter if you are on the drive and a few yorkers on middle and leg - they might go for runs, but if you miss, I hit.

That said - these days I wouldn't be able to get it up the other end bowling SLA to you.
