Matt Prior's a p good number 7. Maybe he could open instead of Compton.

Wow. Can't even maintain a page of silence for one of your own continentmen.

Got to laugh at intelligent cricketer Stuart Broad getting out slogging in that situation though.

Mister Chief

It's disgusting that the ICC would allow a minnow like England to tour a powerhouse like New Zealand. They should be having a triangular series with Zimbabwe and Bangladesh to try and get them up to an international standard. It can't be good for their confidence to be thrashed like this.

it's funny how often monty is the only batsmen not to get out but yet he's perceived as not being able to bat? someone explain that with your 'stats'

It was absolutely the right decision. This pitch is only going to get tougher to bat on.

Definitely the right decision, would be good if the batting would back it up.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Maxwell opening, Siddle top scoring, Watson captaining, and Lyon taking 7.

Surely these are the end of times.

Series average time. Hughes 18, Warner 24. Watson 17. Clarke 47. Cowan 33 (over 700 balls faced, next best Clarke 564 balls faced).

Watson has been the worst batsman in this series, this has to be his last game.

It wouldn't surprise me if the selectors just write this Indian series off and leave the team as is. Then see how they perform on more conventional English and Australian pitches during the Ashes.

Watson should go, at least while he is not bowling. All you are left with is a mediocre batsman out of form.
