Eng 1st innings – 232NZ 1st innnings -207 Eng 2nd innings – 180/6 It is perilously poised this test match. Could go either way and with the weather holding up (no rain) it looks for sure that there will be a result either today or tomorrow morning. At least McCullum and the rest of the … Read more
Not much to say really. We are dominating at the moment. As predicted we got them out for under 250, in fact 232 all out. Southee was fantastic in the second hour of the day keeping the ball up and enticing the drive. McCullum continued to set aggressive fields that encourage batsmen to look for runs. When … Read more
Brownlie takes an awesome catch off Boult bowling to Trott Seldom have we ever dominated a side more than what happened in day two of the first test. OK, so wickets didn’t fall but the poms only scored 160/4 in an entire day of cricket. Ridiculous. Boult charged in and was generally magnificent, well on the way … Read more

Whisper it quietly but we may, just may, have a half decent New Zealand cricket team on our hands. Back in 2010/2011 we had lost to just about everyone imaginable. Defeats against Bangladesh, India and Pakistan in test series and in one day series were followed up later by a huge loss to Zimbabwe in … Read more
Well, there we go, our glorious semi-final defeat rolled around again. The good things though are that we actually made this into a real game – a poor collapse of the previously always reliable kiwi tail meant the last 6 wickets fell for just 25 runs. Normally the tail in a kiwi lineup provides the … Read more
If a NZer ever needed a reason to hate Australians, then the following should be in their top 5. I remember it like it happened yesterday. It still burns. They are scum. Never forget.
