[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

NZ leaving out their player of the series in India, Will Young, and then failing for score runs through this series is a glaring error by their selectors.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Oh that's unlucky.

 

[ToffeeTim]

That's just bad luck. Bad ball, timed well but picked out the only fielder there

 

[Walken]

When there's a snick behind missed, or a clear pitching outside leg, there's a reason for it, otherwise these decisions clipping stumps etc are a blight on the game imo. Warney always said he'd have had over 1000 wickets in today's game and he's not wrong.

For me it's only sport and the spectacle suffers, I'd rather be in the moment

I thought the retirement of Jimmy and and Broad would be a huge loss to England's attack, but Atkinson and Carse have been mightily impressive this winter.

Mitch Marsh you brain-dead fool

This hat-trick (bowled/caught/lbw) is only the 8th perfect hattrick in tests, well in Gus.

Crazy to think it is only the end of day two, surely England can't declare until halfway through tomorrow?

Real shame about Bethell and Duckett. Bethall certainly making it difficult for him to come out once Smith returns.

 

[Walken]

The and I quote from here 'stupid' Bethell selection is looking pretty shrewd now. Strong position for England with lots of good contributions.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Best bowler today was ORourke but ended with the worst figures, every over seemed to be a half chance, he gave the English batters a lot to think about, he will have a long future in the game. NZ are a team in decline despite the recent success in India and will need to rebuild, they've lost Taylor, Bolt, Southee after this series, Watling, Wagner and McCullum in the space of a few years, all world class players.

In the 140s, gun in the field, will be a good 3 format player I reckon.

Have been disappointed to not see Bracewell kick on, thought he had something when they toured England

Nothing going right for Crawley this tour
