Cricket

Solid day for England that.

Off for bad light when it's sunny is a bit odd like.

Daylight saving in NZ ended Saturday night. Hence the start times for days 3/4/5 in this test have been moved 30 minutes earlier to 10:30am.

Bit silly to be playing a cricket test this late in the season if you ask me, but the weather has been decent the last few days, so I guess they got it right.
 
Slipped away sadly, we just need to go with wicket takers. Still think we can get away with patient bowling displays, but they're not good enough. Never bowl at the stumps, being used as an ornament again.
 
Really need an averhaul after this. I would say it's time to look to the future and get rid of cook, Broad and Anderson, but I'm a bit sceptical of getting rid of the two bowlers seeing as whoever we bring in can't do anything.

We need new coaches though, they can't bowl at the bloody stumps and the batting team suffers a massive collapse every two games, they're not exactly stockpiling the team with players who aren't the best to choose from.
 
Longest tour in over 50 years that apparantly. Since we stopped going down under on a ship !

Bet the lads are glad it's all over.

Thought I heard Andy Jacobs say they were there for 27 weeks. Not all of them, but still. Stupid planning.

Mad isn't it. Surely they could have had the NZ tour next season maybe, as a three or four test series between NZ and England would have been much more interesting. Stating the obvious, but a two-test series doesn't allow the side who lost the first test a chance to come back and win.
