For country of 4 million where cricket is a distant second , it's amazing these kiwis can put out such a list of world class fast bowlers.

NZ is a superpower in rugby

 

And 166 Olympic medals, with 65 golds. In Paris they won 20 medals, 10 golds. 20 medals, 7 golds in Tokyo.....even medalling in Winter Olympics. 

 

P4P, you won't get better sporting nations than them and Australia.

Apparently very hot in UK atm. Even hockey commentators kept repeating that. During coach interviews, they were saying it feels hotter than India, Pak summers. 

 

18 to 29 deg today at Trent Bridge. Feels like 29 too.

 

Max 23 expected tomorrow.

 

Not too hot for cricket.

Oh. It was 35-40 in London the last 2 days.

Saw Sears bowling 140 k + in his debut test 2 years back.

 

Bowling 125 k to 132 k now.

 

Has he lost pace due to injury ?

Nathan Smith said their FC cricket has gone very competitive than few years back.

Probably brimming with sudden talent.

Lord's was at least fun.

@Gollum so looks like poms got 3 tests against Pakistanis in August. Wont be surprised if poyzzz deliberately bowl bad against him. It's my birthday month as well. So that's going to be an awesome birthday present from our padosis.

India v Indonesia AVC men's cup SF is thrill a minute @Gollum @deathmonger

Check that one out guys 

[cowboysfan]

Kiwis have a slim chance to bat the pommies out of the game.

Suddenly pitch is producing too many jaffas. I believe craks are open now. Most of these deliveries that got wickets were unplayable. Especially 3/4 length deliveries.

[Lone Wolf]

Archer lethal against lefties.  England back in the contest 

[nitinbwj]

2 down already. Archer is breathing fire and this pitch has gone from a batting wicket to a difficult one. So many unplayable deliveries.

Yes. Archer , Root, Brook all peach. NZ have the bowlers to take advantage. Eng has just jofra

Kiwis too timid.  Third inns can be tricky sometimes if you don't exactly know what's the good total here.

India overseas has lost way too many tests in England and SA especially coz of their poor third inns performance

England have the batting unit to take the attack to opposition.  Kiwis have none such Mavericks in the line up

[Lone Wolf]

Rachin has arrived with a positive frame of mind.  Yes boyy

I think ball rears off from a length. Not drivable. These guys are mostly drivers of the ball or cuttes. But these are not cutting height  Someone has to break free here. Otherwise there will be a ball that come with your name.

Kind of game where Kiwis might miss having someone like Glenn Phillips here.

TOngue will feed a lot of full balls as that is his strength. They gotta score off of him.  Rachin 12 of 6.
