England were still poor, but yeah the Aussies may have been better than we thought.

South Africa's balance is completely wrong without Kallis, Mclaren isn't good enough, neither is Duminy and I'm not really sure about Peterson either.

What's the point in playing the ICC U19 World Cup in Dubai ? There's no one in the ground to watch.

Absolutely incredible performance from NZ. Fighting back against India, with a first innings deficit of around 280. They are 571-6 in their second innings. Mccullum 281 not out, Watling 124, Neesham 67 nout out.

It's an excellant book too.

Mccullum is really developing into a world class player. He's a really proactive captain and he's showing he can play big patient innings in Tests now on top of his destructive ODI/Twenty 20 play.

Seen nothing from India to worry me this summer - perfect opponents for England to rebuild confidence.

Was a brilliant 300 and then straight out but what a fantastic knock. Jimmy Neesham 100 on debut as well, truly fantastic stuff. Fully fit this NZ can be very good, they've got real talent throughout the team. Also the Basin Reserve must be one of the most beautiful grounds in world cricket.

The surrounding are bizarre, the Basin (or Baz as it's now known) is technically a big roundabout as you enter Wellington City.

AB De Villiers is a fantastic batman. South Africa were on the rack again but their big names knuckle down and refuse to be intimidated.
