The Block off between Trott and Williamson is getting tasty. Williamson is currently edging it with a incredible strike rate of 6.45 but as we all know, the Mighty Trotty can scratch away with the best of them.

Is anyone listening to TMS and knows who Geoff Boycott is currently blaming for all this?

Immigrants, probably. I dunno, its Boycott, no one really listens to what he says, we just laugh at the way he says it.

Besides, you should be listening to Test Match Sofa.

This is the problem with teams like New Zealand, you see. They get in a winning position, but it's so rare for them that they don't know what to do. This is why they'll never be world number 1, or win a World Cup, or win The Ashes.

I remember seeing England VS East Germany in the 1990 Ashes Final.

Best day of my life. A Kiwi will never experience that euphoria. A tragedy.

If New Zealand get a draw I think they'll consider it a real victory for their tiny little minnowy island.

I think you'll find we invented the game and were #1 in the world for a few days last year so we can say what we want.

A lot of envy in this thread. Just sit back and watch the masters at play. Much like Bane, the England team will give New Zealand hope and then break them without mercy.

Mate, we've been down for so long, give us a break.

Besides, I don't think we're winning, not this test. If NZ last the day, they'll have a 300 lead with 2 days left. That's an almost guaranteed win.

I do wonder whether there have been some shenanigans with the heavy roller. This pitch seems suspiciously flat. Do we have cameras situated on the wicket throughout lunch and other breaks does anyone know?

Current or recently retired players are always the most inane pundits and commentators. Give me Bob Willis any day. Basically an old man who doesn't give a poo poo.

The other day Matthew Hayden described spin as: "there can be a small amount of spin, or a lot... of amount."

Hayden is classic. People documented some of his gems here http://www.kingcricket.co.uk/the-gospel-according-to-haydos/2009/08/02/, I sometimes go back to it for a laugh.
