The Cricket Thread 2013

Bell finally comes in despite having been "unwell".

I hope we're not going to get a Paula Radcliffe moment here.

[PaulWinch again]

This is falling apart now, really bad collapse.

[Ad@m]

Two middle order collapses in two innings.

Not a great performance from our new player of the year.

[eastie]

250 lead will be more than enough to win this game i feel - would be stunned if New Zealand chased that total down on this wicket.

[KevinGage]

I'd feel more comfortable if Bell can hang around and get the score up to close to 280. 

You have to allow for Taylor, Rutherford or Master Blaster McCullum (possibly all three)  still having an input. 

Anything past 300 and the Kiwis are out of it, but that might be a tad ambitious.

[taylorsworkrate]

This is horrendously pathetic

[taylorsworkrate]

If New Zealand have anything about them, they'll win this.

[manic-road]

Great start by Broad with the ball NZ 16-3

[PaulWinch again]

21-4, we'll win this now I expect but our batting needs to improve a lot.

[TopDeck113]

Only just tuned in.  Bad batting or a bad pitch?

[PaulWinch again]

I think it's a decent pitch it's a really interesting game. Broad looking more like it again.

[bilsim]

Broad with a five-fer. All firing we have a fantastic attack.

[PaulWinch again]

Steamrollered 29-6 at lunch.

[PaulWinch again]

Broad needed this, hopefully he'll continue to bowl like this now.

[Monty]

That were hilarious.
