2nd Test Eng v NZ

[Chutney]

I think Stokes' injury may have helped Bairstow. It's made him calm down*, I think default Bairstow would have got himself out by now.

*A tiny bit.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

He's been dealt a pretty lousy hand to be honest, with Jamieson injured and Southee below par. That said, not convinced it would have made much difference the way these two are batting.

And a string of dropped catches. Stokes has just splayed it out of the ground.

 

[Andy_W]

Jesus Christ, that's in the river.

 

[Jedi boro]

This is awesome

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

Blimey, should get 8 for that one
I'm allowing myself to get excited now

 

[Chris_Boro]

Feel for the fans, being denied a full day's cricket.

 

[Lefty]

35 now

 

[sadgit]

This is unbelievable...... I am loving this new style. Ok I now wished I had gone

 

[sadgit]

Look at Bairstows stats..wtf..

 

[Pak_Doo_Ik]

The joy of being an optimist means occasionally you get to just sit with a smile on your face

 

[Chris_Boro]

150 strike rate for Bairstow, unreal.

 

[sadgit]

What an innings...

 

[Chutney]

I think Stokes' injury may have helped Bairstow. It's made him calm down*, I think default Bairstow would have got himself out by now.

*A tiny bit.

Told you. Rubbish, England.

 

[Chris_Boro]

How do you follow that?

 

[Cuthbert]

I'm very much in the jaded from watching England collapse camp.

1 wicket can soon become 3 and then it gets super tense.

Let's hope we can do it as it would be a major psychological boost.

Oh no!!! Please don't f**k it up now England. Surely we can get 27 more.

Why did the commentator just say they'd turned the run chase in to a "walk in a park".

 

[sadgit]

How do you follow that?

Singles....

 

[sadgit]

1 an over....

 

[Lefty]

Most boundaries in a test match ever.

 

[Jedi boro]

That’ll test the knee
