OH GOD ANOTHER ONE gently caress YESSSSSSSSSSS

edit: I still expect they'll get over 200, Prior always seems to do well against us and we generally suck at dismissing tailenders.

edit2: getting more than a little suspicious how many bad calls Reiffel has made against NZ, thank god for the DRS.

That may be true, but the part of this post to take note of is the "when New Zealand are winning".

God, if we collapse, and collapse good, and THEN collapse again (which would be hilarious), if the ICC sanction anyone for this pitch they should just go and kill themselves.

200 less than NZ's score, so... 243.

Before England got trounced in the UAE, there was a lot of nonsense from some of the Sky commentators and pundits about this England team possibly being one of the best in test history, and Stuart Broad eventually becoming better than Curtly Ambrose, who was literally one of the best fast bowlers of all time. England need at least one series defeat per year to reset the Sky commentators' hysteria around "the lads".

Is this for real?

Some very very good bowling going on this morning. This amount of swing makes the bounceless pitch irrelevent.

Yes.

Although in fairness to Sky's cricket team (which has some excellent commentators), it was mostly Ian Botham and Nick Knight, with David Lloyd doing a bit of cheerleading.

You can't tell if a test pitch is a bad pitch until the 4th and 5th days. They're supposed to be flat on the first day
