Don't see ali, stokes or buttler lasting too long either. All out before tea

What a disaster this one is turning out to be... Cook to resign at the end of the series...?

He's too stubborn to resign the Test captaincy. Surely?

He is top scorer at the moment by a good bit! Cant blame his captaincy for that :D

He still thinks he should be ODI captain!

Even at the toss, he couldn't answer a simple question on what he would have done had a won the toss.

Threw a heap of cash on Stokes or Buttler to top score once it flattened out a bit, so long as Root doesn't ruin it that may be some small compensation.

Come on everyone where's your optimism gone, Root to hit double ton and the rest of the lower order to score runs.  :D

Have NZ agreed to be nice and only bowl in Broads half when he's batting?

Wait did he say it was "irrelevant"?  ??? >:(

Broad would prefer the short stuff.  He is expecting it every ball and will get out the way.

It's when he has to play a shot now that troubles him.

These two look good but if either of the get out then we are stuck! Ali was in the nets and had to pop back because they were dropping like knickers on a night out!

Ali was always due to come in at 8.

Shocking captaincy by Brendon McCollum. Totally naive in his over attacking approach. Should have turned the screw rather than pressing all out.
