[Welton Toffee]

Although the way Jimmy is ripping through their batting order we won't need a fourth day

WTF?!

Ignore them mate its a gentlemans game,used to go to Old Trafford tests a lot years ago,but only watch it on sky now the Kiwis are strange in the last series in New Zealand and this one here they get in a great position and blow it cant see the Aussies doing that did you watch the west Indies test last week that flag was classic "your just a fat spanish waiter" us blues get every where

Nice to see Anderson finally show some form. It would be nice if the selectors showed the same ruthlessness with the batsmen that they showed with Hoggard et al in the bowlers.

It will never happen for some reason bowlers dont get the same loyalty having said that Harmison did still looks like this ones won.

Hope you get a full days play if nothing else tomorrow Rodders. I've been to washed out cricket matches before and they're not much fun. Fingers crossed it's a beautiful day.

Cant see it lasting long after lunch.no matter what the weathertwo quick wickets and its sorted

 

[Welton Toffee]

Aye, in a weird way I'm hoping NZ pull the fingers out so we see some good cricket.

Only 5 wickets needed for England though so I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if we saw more than one session

There again this is England might end in a draw

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Double hundred for Vettori before he bowls England out for 17. It's the England way

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Game over, an emphatic win for England. Shame for Rodders that so little cricket was played. Do you get a partial refund for that?

 

[coyney]

I was a bit sorry that it ended I thought Orame was just getting set,I was glad Jimmy got the last wicket and stayed as top wicket taker for the series. looking forward to the one days.

 

[Welton Toffee]

Aye was a wee bit disappointed it was over so quickly, Oram got a tremendous ovation when he got his 50. Lots of people (me included!) hoped he'd go on to get a few more just so we could see England bat, but c'est la vie! He had absolutely no support from the other end though which killed off their innings.

No refund unfortunately, only if it's bad weather or the game finishes the previous day! So it was £25 a pop for just over an hour's play But that's the risk you take with test cricket, last two years we've been to the Trent Bridge tests and seen two full days play. So can't be helped, still had a good day out and the players did a lap of honour with the trophy after so that was really good. Looking forward to watching the Twenty20 on TV on Friday, for free

Oh, and talking of free, the lovely Npower girls were handing out free ice creams at the end as well, so that was a nice little Brucey-bonus

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Hope the girls didn't cause you to spill any ice cream down your shorts
