Henry's average dips below 30 for the first time.
Currently 29.76

[nzzp]

[Chris B.]

Smith gets Root!

Very good catch by Mitch Jr. Thought it had beaten him for a nanosecond!

[delicatessen]

More like shades of something like the D.H. Robin's XI. Where it is 10 top players plus the owner of the team, who opens the bowling.

[Bovidae]

The catches taken so far, including Blundell's, only highlighted how poor NZ were in Chch.

[Chris B.]

Smith sends one down the leg side - Bethell goes after it and I think it gets his glove.

Blundell says (to me and others), "Fuck you - I can catch" and does!

@NTA is confused because hes used to seeing W . WW . . . W after the 1st Test vs India

@Virgil you lost to a team ranked below you. At home. By 8 wickets. And they're Poms.

[bayimports]

havent seen anything this morning, but just score, any drops this morning or have they actually practiced catching this week?

[Bovidae]

NZ won the first hour, England the second hour. Need an early wicket after lunch, preferably Brook.

[Cyclops]

Huh, that's the first time a seamer has been hit for a six in the first over a test. Ever! Southee loves sixes.

How has your team been going lately ?

Fuck you bloody…..

[bayimports]

Southee 7 overs no wickets and 5.42 economy.
Smith somewhat forgiven for going at 6.83 from 6 overs courtesy of 2 wickets.

But jeez thats some serious carnage from Pope and Brook

Not losing at home to Poms ranked below us.

Is the alternative better? Not much.
