Over cover. Jesus.

Have to admire his approach, but imagine how he looks if he gets caught in the infield or bowled, awful. Clearly has the licence, is compelling viewing. If I was a NZer though would want some common sense to prevail, yes he wasnt to dominate, but he's got Latham at the other end playing very well and scoring quite quickly, he can easily give himself a few overs to get set rather than risk being in the precarious position of 4/70.

yeah very dangerous way to play no doubt, even for an ODI or T20... but a test, god damn. gotta admire it indeed!

Ronchi brings up a 50 in his first test! a ton on debut would be nice

Latham 70*
Ronchi 55*

Bill Manspeaker · May 31, 2015, 01:04:34 AM

New Zealand playing England into form. the bloody hell are they doing!

Eng 0/163
Lyth 80*
Cook 71*

"Form"

Test cricket is almost entirely HGA now, form doesn't matter

GoLions · May 31, 2015, 04:03:11 AM

Fair to say NZ came back pretty well haha. England now 5/253 at stumps. Still trail by 97 runs, will struggle to reach NZ's score you'd think.

Adam Lyth 8) Almost as good as Gary :D actually is better if you take his county numbers from last year.

Anybody ever seen a list of the most wickets taken against batsmen and keepers, not including cheap ones against tail enders?

I'd be interested in seeing that
