Starting tomorrow at Old Trafford.Same team as the last one i think,the squad is different though since Harmy managed to break poor Hoggy's finger  Interesting to see how Darrell Hair gets on in his first test back since being let down so badly by the ICC. |

If Hair wasn't a cheating racist cunt the ICC wouldn't have had to let him down anyway...

Has to be admitted he always seemed to have a problem with giving Pakistan any decisions.
But you can't protest in the way Inzamam did, just walk off a cricket pitch and not finish a game off.Teams just shouldn't have any right to pick and choose the umpires because they think they are biased against them.

Hair aside, time for Monty to step up and skittle them.
New Zealand are an odd team, because their top order (How, Marshall, Taylor et al) are rubbish, although Taylor has potential, and Vettori, McCullum, Oram batting down the order are far better batsmen. I don't care that they're bowling/keeping too, why not stick them higher up?

Monty has a great record at OT, i expect him to play a big part in both innings. Weather over the B/H weekend looks typically dodgy, but should be able to get a result if we get 3/3 and a 'alf days of solid cricket in. Pretty confident we can win this one, come on England  |

I am predicting a ton for Bell, an unconverted 50 for KP, and Cook to get out LBW at least once in his 2 innings.

Owch, Daniel Flynn just got a front tooth knocked out through his helmet by Jimmy.
We're nipping through them a tidy rate, McCullums out but Taylor's just starting to look dangerous.
Jeremy Coney+Bryan Waddle commentating is excellent, really insightful and its a nice change to have a few commentators who don't want to see England win!

Why have we lost the ability to score at the going rate these days? I can't think we've consistantly scored at 3, 3.5 or even 4 runs an over for nearly 3 years. Shows how much we miss Tresco, Flintoff and dare I say Geraint Jones who at least got on with it.

This is pathetic with a capital fucking P! It's Vettori and O'Brien ffs not Warne and McGrath. Not one attacking England shot for nearly 2 hours of play if you count last night. Shit.
