    The biggest outrage in that game was the MOTM decision. Morkel?! Elgar plays one of the better Test innings of recent years and you give it to Morkel? Sentiment getting in the way there

    Close call but Morkel took 9-110 in the game, that’s greatbowling.

    Elgar is unlucky though as he carried his bat against a top bowling attack.

    Main thing is that they nailed the cheating convicts.

    Back to England's match v NZ (that is the title of the thread, right ?).........

    Just lost Malan. 142-4. Another batsman just hanging is bat out looking for the edge.

    Shocking passage of play from Bairstow. He hits a rank long hop from the underutilized leggie Astle straight to mid-on and is dropped and so next over from Astle he hits another one to mid-wicket where Williamson holds on. We are supposed to be trying to save the game aren't we?

    Sky saying 30 /31 overs left

    Far too many for us.

    What is going on in the background here? Looks like disgruntled Gooner in captain's cap being led out by two jacketed security guys.

    We lost three wickets off the final ball of three different sessions.

    We lost three wickets off the final ball of three different sessions.

    And we'll lose one at the end of this session too!

    How is it that Wagner is allowed to bowl 4 or 5 bouncers an over? Is it because he only bowls at 70mph?

    All over and for the 4th session running England lose a wicket off the last ball....

    England's Test side totally outplayed yet again.

    I was thinking that but I assume that some, especially the ones that are in the waist to chest area, are just regarded as short of a length balls as opposed to bouncers.

    Obviously we lost this with our pitiful first innings performance. But the fact that so many players got in during the 2nd innings and failed to convert says as much.

    Usual drivel from Swann on TMS "I think England have done well to take the game as far as they did..." It effin rained for two days!

    How refreshing to play a side who want to play good tough cricket but within the boundaries of the game. And to hear a captain so modest about his own contribution not just with the bat but the decision to bowl first.

    That's why they've only beaten us 10 times in 88 years.

    Only as good as your last Test.
