Lanky players been on twitter since 12 or 13 and people are digging for dirt.

Pathetic.

Typically, a wicket for a part-time spinner, Dan Lawrence when the top line bowlers never looked like taking one in the last hour.

One good thing that hopefully comes out of it is that sports people are more careful in future about what they post on social media or better still, just don't post at all - 95% of tweets are irrelevant nonsense even when they're not offensive.

Problem is it goes hand in hand with money, as soon as people started getting cashed up for the amount of followers sporting stats and their PR think they will have a bit of it.

And let’s face it the Beeb would still love to have that line up but they have to be Uber Woke

England should just pick a spinner and stick with them, stop all this part time bollocks. No matter if they get twatted for 6 an over or whatever stick with them for a few years and let them develop. Parkinson at lancs looks a prospect, taking wickets in all formats.

Going into this test without a spinner is bonkers. England make this mistake again and again. The first test suggested we could be bowling for a long time. Mindless.

New Zealand should pass England's total before lunch.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

All too easy for New Zealand.

Although Taylor should have been caught a few overs ago.

This wicket keeper is a bit of a nightmare.

 

[Ric]

We needed that.

 

[Don Karleone]

There we go

 

[andyhinch]

Another dropped catch ffs

You just know which way this is going to go, don't you? Kiwis to get a 200 lead or so on the first innings. England to scrape past that, getting about 250 on their second innings. Then a 10 or 9 wicket victory for NZ on the final day with time to spare. I just don't see how this is panning out any other way.

England need to pray for rain they have a spinner that spun it first innings plus great swing bowlers! Unless we get 6/20
