Chris Rogers would be filthy. He just got out of there and now burns can't catch.

In you go Chris

The boys are having a crack - an entertaining session this one,

Grind the prickly bastards into the dirt Ted bat & bat & bat & bat declare 30 minutes after tea tomoz

I think they will declare over night and bowl them out by 5pm

Virat seems to have the attitude and attacking mentality more like an aussie than any captain of a touring side Ive seen. I'd say they'll have a go at getting the runs tomorrow. Should be good viewing.

Did anyone see AB de Villiers last night? What an incredible knock - 149 off 44 balls - 9 4's and 16 6's Not bad!

That was outstanding....can't wait for the world cup...I reckon we could see some massive totals

Steve Smith gets the AB Medal - no great surprise there! Well played son. Probably getting the biggest pay rise of any Australian sportsperson this year. You would have to think his earnings would have received a nice little 2 mil plus increase. If not more now that he is captain and performing like such a champion. A clean skinned one at that. Sponsors will be knocking the door down.

Smashing those Poms today. Kiwi boys on fire

Beat me to it mate - I thought you'd have a fat hearing that McCullum 72 off 20 balls or something & that Pommie bowler 2 overs for 49 runs geez whoever put coin on that Southee might be a winner too

Been busy all day, haven't looked but had flutter...

Already had Southee @$21 most wkts in the World Cup.

Mc Callam 4.50 for most runs today. Short boundary and slow left arm mediums were a good thing.
And
$1.50 to win...


Good shizz. Kiwis are on fire....

Nearly as Good as the $6.50 for Ireland the other day against the once mighty windies..

Edit... Just looked. Wow
7 for is good going...

Am I the only on that Can never get enough of the poms getting flogged

Mate that wasn't a flogging that was a large flightless bird's cock being waved at , slapped across & then force fed multiple times to a Union Jack face & lips

Great work SP! Some super duper punts there. Pup - on fire as always

Yeah making a few bucks, gotta save up for the bunker

If the kiwis keep going it will be here in no time.

And how was McCallam, even landed one on the sponsors car..

Not seen any highlights yet - just trying to download some now. We had some friends at the game - they enjoyed the 20/20 spectacle !

Some great comments in this article SP - quality reading. Too think they want to relegate us to the second tier of the sport. I think they might have to sit up and take notice now.


See, these are the sort of mismatches you end up with when you let the cricket minnows play against the best. #NZvENG #WC2015


"English cricket has died, and the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to New Zealand," the obituary in London's The Sporting Times

If England’s humiliation at the hands of Australia last week was bad then this was much, much worse. Within seven days they have been systematically dismantled by not one but two World Cup hosts playing a completely different game. And however good the Aussies and Kiwis have been that is unacceptable.It is hard to remember a more one-sided game than this. Hard to remember when England were so totally out-classed by any side in any format, even Australia at their absolute peak.
