What’s better than a set of player reviews? A set of player reviews written by a man who once scored 11 goals in 42 games for Birmingham, that’s what.
In a gripping finale New Zealand managed to steal a draw from the jaws of victory. If only General McCullum had ordered his tanks to assault the beaches history may have been very different.
It’s an absolute disgrace Charles.
That 3-0 series win we predicted is looking distinctly less likely now.
It’s Auckland, it’s live, and it’s still 0-0. This will definitely be the best match of the series. Probably.
It’s an Australia special! Join James, Ashley and Aussie Matt as they take it in turns to (metaphorically) kick the Aussie team while they’re down. Apart from Steven Peter Devereux Smith, who gets a great deal of love and respect. Plus the New Zealand vs. England snoozefest gets glossed over.
One of the great days of Test cricket. Although we spent most of it sitting around in dressing gowns laughing at Australia, rather than actually paying attention.
It should be illegal to dislike Matt Prior. His 2007/8 detractors must be so full of humble pie that they’ve exploded by now. We’re looking at you, Michael Henderson.
In keeping with a spectacular week, Brendon McCullum didn’t bother to do any sort of homework on the Wellington wicket and promptly spent the entire day being ruthlessly bored to tears as punishment for his sins.
It’s been a tough week for Australia. From getting thrashed by India to sending their players home for trying to skive out of doing their homework, everything has gone wrong for the land down under. Apart from the imminent return of Devereux, that is. Plus the Compton/Root debate is put to bed once and for all.
