4 more wickets for Jimmy A!
Felt a bit sorry for monty. He hasn't bowled competitively since the last India test and it showed. It's a shame he couldn't have played a couple of games for a nz provincial side.
235 lead with 3 wickets left. Expect mccullum to have a dart tomorrow try and get the lead up to 300.
Does anyone know what lead the Aussies had in the last Brisbane test after the first innings?

Looks like the weather might save New Zealand from the inevitable humiliating comeback victory powered by a run-a-ball Compton double ton

Not sure how many NZ will want to add, especially with rain forecast for the final 2 days...England will either crumble miserably or we'll see a Brisbane-style recovery!
Monty has come in very, very short of cricket-he didn't even play in that warm up game and probably wouldn't have expected to play in any tests! I heard he was doing an exam out there as well from one of the commentators.

Pleased for Compton, he reads the papers and will have known the pressure he was under. Not quite a run a ball but every bit the solid effort needed in the circumstances.

Nice one Nick. Chuffed for him. Could see how much it meant to him, and his old man.
What to say about Chef though - I bow my head. You truly are a run machine.

Watched until shortly after Compton's 50 last night. He really is up there with Trott in the remarkable resolve / brilliantly boring stakes. Two of those at the top of the order to lay the foundations for a more explosive middle order will do me just fine. Root will be fine at 6. Compton deserves a real run and a go at the Aussies.

Do any of you give a fuck about non englishmen playing for england at all?
Have to say, in the rugby, Visser playing for Scotland completely ruins it for me, and I wonder if seeing England select players like Morgan, Kieswetter and Trott detract any enjoyment of international sport from you?

Couldn't give a fuck. As long as they are committed then all is good with me. Great to see Finn with a 50  |

Batted Finny!!! Flat track, shame England couldn't do this 1st innings and put NZ under pressure! 2nd test will see us fire on all cylinders! KP at the crease, fancy him to smack a ton!

Nope, couldn't care less.
In fact the knowledge that it really annoys the Aussies, the Saffas and apparently now the Sweaties it makes it a bit sweeter

I agree. Morgan playing for England is a farce...and it's even worse because, with a little boost, the country he should be playing for might just be able to break through to the next level. There is a lot of interest in (and history to) Irish cricket. |
