I've been rather impressed by 2 meter Peter.

He looked rather ordinary in his Test career prior to this series.

Yes the pitches might've suited him, but it's good to see a 34 year old still have the desire to succeed at Test cricket.

I don't remember him from before but he's look solid enough. Todays he's showing his aggressive side too :) Fair play to him, can't be easy for a 34yr old to come in etc knowing that he'll be dropped sooner rather than later due to age.

I'm not sure how successful his whipping to leg will be in early May in England but its certainly a fine comeback.

To be honest after the horror show Guptill had in recent times, an opener getting into double figures is a success for the Black Caps!

No one gets dropped due to age. If you score big runs you are old enough or young enough. Fulton has booked himself at least 2 more Test matches here and if he does well in England whos to say he can't go on scoring runs till he reaches the age of a Hussey or Tendulkar. Well batted, now showing another side to his game and pushing the rate along

Wait till there juice in the wicket and the ball zipping around.

I think he will struggle to score 50 in a innings in England but you can't knock him currently

McCullum tearing England a new one at the moment. His one day skills are perfect for this point in the match - England are looking increasingly deject in the field :(

I'm sorry but that's a little unfair.

Fulton's scoring runs on the pitches provided.

He's technically limited, but the English seamers have been ordinary in this series, apart from Broad at times who's been pretty decent.

If Swann doesn't recovery fully from the elbow issues, then England will be concerned.

Panesar has returned to the one dimensional bowler Shane Warne once labelled him...

On the evidence of this series I'm thinking Treadwell should be given a go in the home series just in case Swanny isn't fit for the ashes

Panesar had always been a one dimensional bowler. He hasn't changed much atall. If the pitch doesn't suit him he is quite ineffective. It's not as if he has forgotten how to bowl a doosra all of a sudden

He didn't bowl much different in India to here just had much more assistance from the surfaces. He will never change his style

I was thinking along the same line.

Tredwell looked a good bowler in the ODIs against the Indians. Plus he's a good fielder and bats a little.
