Tests start next Tuesday, and we've already won the 20/20 and ODI series.

I'm hoping Root gets in the test team, looked an exceptional talent in the ODI's, reminds me of when Pietersen came on the scene. Plays with no fear and an air of confidence, I'd like to see how he goes in the test arena.

'7'

I predict a whitewash. Easy win.

Funkii Munkii

Should be, nailed on even.

Did you see the Aussies humiliation in Hydrebad properly spanked, another white wash in the summer is on the cards as well, they were ****e against a poor India side

'7'

Lets just agree to not talk about it

Funkii Munkii

'7'

Oh jeez, it just gets worse and worse.

Remember India though. We got our ***** handed to us in the first test and then destroyed them thereafter.

Funkii Munkii

As we did against SRI and PAK, natural slow starters

Funkii Munkii

A good solid come back, on a dead pitch

I also noticed how the camera's were still picking up on this fellow, up until 10 months ago he was affectionally known as Jimmy Savile but on every ocassion he appeared on screen none of the commentators said a word, seriously needs a new nickname

The Aussies preparations for the Summers Ashes are going very well

A bit harsh imo but may the team harmony continue

Always nice to see, did LOL at them not doing their homework assignment!

Mind you our preparations for the double ashes are hardly going to plan as yet!

'7'

you've got to love a 5 hour stint at the bat with only 56 runs to show for it. Is Finn actually Peter Such in disguise

I'm not worried, still think it will be an easy win for us overall.

Apparently the authorities are investing betting irregularities in Australia. someones put money on the convicts to win the Ashes

'7'

Have you seen the Bang v SL scores?

Sri Lanka have had a bit of a scare! who'd have thought Bangladesh would have it in them?

'7'

What a difference a week makes.

A decent enough innings. Should have made 500 but I think we all know who is to blame for that

Funkii Munkii

KP?


I went to bed at 00:30, when he was on 73, woke to find he didn't get any further

Prior doing the biz again and those two wickets from Broad have turned this on it's head although rain is forecast for Sunday, need to get them out and make them follow on.

'7'

off to the Reading game tomorrow. Hope it isn't too cold.

'7'

For all it's faults, how exciting was the first test? It had it all didn't it. Bad weather, dreadful 1st innings, heroic batting by NZ, great last stand by Finn.

Long live test cricket

Funkii Munkii

Prawn sarnies by any chance ? or is YVM dragging you along, being a Shrimper it's the last place I'd expect to see you

Funkii Munkii

Indeed !!

Sky have a serious amount of Cricket on at the moment have you seen the back to back games they wereshowing on SS1, heaven

The Ma in Law is over tonight, she'll be in the kitchen with the missus all night nattering so I get the TV all to myself again, stay as long as you want Ma

Funkii Munkii

The weather didn't help did it

At least it gave me the chance to see that knock from Dhawan against AUS, stunning stuff, some great shots they just couldn't bowl to him, totally at one with the ball, on debut as well, crazy.

'7'

Went with YVM, wasn't prawn sandwiches on this occasion. Looking forward to the Shrimpers trip to Wembley though

Funkii Munkii

I think the drop in piutch is a ringer Cook got that horribly wrong, then again NZ would have done the same......

What a dire series this has been. Duff pitches and bad weather makes watching test series in NZ a thoroughly uninspiring prospect.

No spin, no bounce, no swing absolutely nothing ZZZZZzzzzzz

'7'

WOW!

What a match....

An0n0m0us

I went to bed thinking Bell and Prior could do it but resigning myself to it only being a dream and woke up to an astonishing result. Looking forward to watching the highlights today.

Despite that highly unlikely finish we should never have been in that position against one of the weakest test sides in the first place. We win a series in India but then struggle against NZ, something went very wrong with the preparations for this series. Not the sort of message we want to send out before an Ashes Summer. They need to convincingly win the 2 home tests against NZ weather permitting to head into the Ashes series with confidence.

Funkii Munkii

We did well to get away with the draw !! Prior is a gem of a player

"7", I think we should stop tipping white washes for the next 12 months

'7'

Even with the way we are playing I think we'll win

Don't panic.

Seriously well played to NZ though, you'd never have guessed they would have played like this 12 months ago.

Funkii Munkii

No Panic we should wipe the Aussies backsides for them on our pitches, Jimmy will rip them a few new ones !!
