2nd test

[glyn]

Broad and Anderson in for Harmy and Hoggy. Thought Hoggard should have had another chance, he's rarely let England down and Anderson can spray it about as much as Harmison. But all in all, change was needed.

 

[Brauny Blue]

Vaughan asked if it was the end of an era regarding Hoggard and Harmison and his reply was....' could be '
He also said that he was ' excited to be taking this team out onto the field'

Sounds like the door is open for Broad.

England 79 for 0 at lunch after being put in.

[Brauny Blue]

Confident England can now win this one. New Zealand have not got the luxury of Harmisons bowling.

No tons again from the top order,but a solid enough lead. Thank goodness Nathan Astle isn't there!

FFS!

England were given an injury scare after bowler James Anderson was injured playing football after the third day's play against New Zealand.
He left the ground on crutches after turning his ankle and was having ice treatment on the injury.

An England spokesman said the injury would be assessed before deciding whether Anderson, who took 5-73 in the first innings, would be able to bowl.

Perhaps being greedy but i would have liked another 50 runs to take them out of the game.

 

[Brauny Blue]

4wkts to get. Should do it........but this is England:icon_conf

 

[Willlow]

We have already given a few of them a couple of lives by dropping catches!

 

[Jeff]

England have won

 

[glyn]

A good win, should have been even more comfortable with better catching. Batting is a worry. Neither side is very good, really, but I fancy us to get the series.
