New Zealand v England | 3rd Test | Auckland | March 22-26, 2013

[Buffet]

What a flogging England received today. NZ went from gear 1 to gear 6 , skipped everything in middle.

 

[Sledger]

Compton gone, first wicket down.

 

[Buffet]

Lost one wicket already.

 

[Sledger]

Trott in at 3, this is the most important stand for England. NZ would be halfway there if they take one of these tonight.

 

[vandokkum]

This pitch seems to be a bloody minefield for England so far, 206 for 11.....

 

[soso_killer]

@vandokkum

how come you have 2600 runs when you just joined thats impossible

I am

 

[Ruri]

I am torn between amusement at this debacle and hatred for our team.

Oh well, hopefully our entire team gets a proper whipping. India will be the new number #2 team after today. That's kind of funny.

There will be a difference of 16 points between number 1 and 2

 

[soso_killer]

NZ are extracting swing whereas England could not, which team has a better bowling unit?

 

[khalil1986]

There will be a difference of 16 points between number 1 and 2

In reality the gap is about 50 points.

 

[Buffet]

In reality the gap is about 50 points.

Neither Eng is that bad nor SA is that good.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Where is Malakian?

 

[soso_killer]

I am

lol, i hope you dont spend 12 or 16 hours at your PC

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

3 more by EOD

 

[majiz]

one more wicket and they're into the tail

 

[SL_Fan]

Vando I thought you said you won't be online for awhile

 

[soso_killer]

) england better quickly send their scouts back to their off shore academy

 

[vandokkum]

lol, i hope you dont spend 12 or 16 hours at your PC

You are underestimating

 

[vandokkum]

Vando I thought you said you won't be online for awhile

Yea bro I have been on and off, wasnt online the whole week . Didnt want your game to be held up because of me

 

[Kwremb]

These two are the most important wickets, they can bat for time, if NZ get these two out today will be a straight forward victory.

 

[soso_killer]

Yea bro I have been on and off, wasnt online the whole week . Didnt want your game to be held up because of me

yeah thats why i'm suprised coz da last time i took notice you had 1300 odd "runs" i'm not sure where 2600 comes from. Is there a secret i dont know about?

Fair enough champ stuff happens. BTW you can still vote in matches if you are interested. You can be the Simon Cowell of fantasy cricket.

I have been scoring runs in lost causes . Not sure about the secret, dont really pay attention to it.

how

 

[vandokkum]

NZ are in big trouble, Finn is yet to bat.

 

[SL_Fan]

how

We can do with 3 expert judges when the matches come around (ie votes in matches in addition to the players). You can be the head judge. :simonvandowell

 

[SL_Fan]

These 2 are the big fish, especially captain Cook.

 

[Sledger]

Trott gone, massive blow.

 

[Space Cat]

Huge wicket for Wagner. He is dangerous around the wicket.

 

[vandokkum]

My 50 on NZ looking safe now . Only finn can save England

 

[Space Cat]

Ohh! that ball ripped out of the footmarks. You never see that in nz.

 

[vandokkum]

Bruce martin has looked a lot more impressive in this series than Monty. NZ might have something to work with, given that Vettori is pretty much over.

 

[Space Cat]

Wagner just steams in all day. I love his commitment.

 

[Justcrazy]

England require another 419 runs with 8 wickets remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

Cook is the key here , If Kiwis get him quick , they will have good hold in the game. Cook has the ability to bat for long time.

 

[Kwremb]

Cook and Prior later will be the key wickets

 

[Space Cat]

McCullum setting some wacky fields.

 

[Aman]

If we get Cook tonight we'll win by tea tomorrow

 

[Aman]

McCullum setting some wacky fields.

Love his attacking captaincy.

 

[SL_Fan]

Cmon New Zaelund!

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Superb from Wagner, 1 more wicket needed ...

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

Cook is the man for Kiwis , need him or will be another draw.

 

[ahmed778]

Come on NewZealand only 8 more wickets.

 

[ahmed778]

Need to bring Boult back into the attack or Southee.

 

[ahmed778]

Really need to get Cook out.

 

[Justcrazy]

74 / 2

 

[Space Cat]

McCullum is a freak athlete.

He was once selected ahead of Dan Carter in rugby youth sides. Dan Carter went on to be one of the greatest rugby players in history.

 

[Justcrazy]

England require another 400 runs with 8 wickets remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

Draw likely here again

 

[Justcrazy]

England require another 398 runs with 8 wickets remaining

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

C'mon just 2 more for today...

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

C'mon just 2 more for today...

 

[Kwremb]

Cook's wicket today will put NZ firmly in driver's seat

 

[Justcrazy]

England require another 391 runs with 8 wickets remaining

 

[Space Cat]

Kane gets Cook!

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

C'mon just 2 more for today...

 

[Space Cat]

Lets get Finn tonight.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Kane you rock man

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

Another wicket now , would be great

 

[Kwremb]

Yes, NZ got this in the bag, they clean the rest with the 2nd new ball

 

[Justcrazy]

bell 8 from 83 balls

 

[Justcrazy]

Yes, NZ got this in the bag, they clean the rest with the 2nd new ball

Not so soon !!!

 

[Space Cat]

LMAO Tim Southee of all people takes a stunner in close.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Buffet]

Fantastic catch

 

[Justcrazy]

90 / 4 , that will be stumps.

 

[Space Cat]

Kane Williamson with the late impact!

 

[Kwremb]

Kane Imran Williamson gets Finn, England's best batsman !!!

 

[iHammad]

Brilliant from New Zealand!

Awesome fun to watch test cricket in New Zealand

 

[ahmed778]

Brilliant captaincy from McCullum throughout this Test.
Cook finally fell because of the pressure, NZ need only 6 more wickets to win this Match and this series it would be extremely difficult for them to get out with a draw now.
Excellent performance by Newzealand throughout this series and they really deserve to win this Test and this series.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Never expected 2 metre Fulton to score a Test match 50 let alone 2 back to back hundreds in a same test match. Yet another fantastic day for NZ

With the stubborn long duration occupying batting experts Cook/Trott back into the pavilion, now the Kiwis are having real chance of winning this test and the series.

 

[James]

Congratulations to New Zealand, have outplayed us in every way.

Only entertainment left for England fans is working out the level of punishment for our players. Some kind of Tudoresque public humiliation is definitely in order.

 

[Marshland]

What an utter mauling, proud of the Blackcaps!

It's as good as won now.

 

[kungfu90]

If NZ wins this England are no. 3 ?

 

[Marshland]

If NZ wins this England are no. 3 ?

Yes. Even 3 flatters them I think. They've lost their last away series to us and WI and Pak and SL.

 

[Aman]

Lol another day till australians start claiming the black caps as australian

Really been great to see Boult and Southee out bowl some of the best bowlers in the world and our batsmen being consistent throughout the series!

 

[James]

Yes. Even 3 flatters them I think. They've lost their last away series to us and WI and Pak and SL.

Not even SA has won in both Australia and India of late.

 

[Marshland]

Not even SA has won in both Australia and India of late.

Expecting Australia to even draw in India is pushing it. South Africa haven't toured India recently and they've drawn their last few series in India I believe.
