Post by Duty281 Tue 05 Mar 2013, 5:28 pm

The three-test series starts at 21:30 GMT tonight. New Zealand are coming into this series very much as the outsiders, after being trounced in South Africa, although they did manage a surprise 1-1 series draw in Sri Lanka not too long ago. England, fresh off a historic series win in India, are very much the favourites and this is the start of a gruelling 15 Tests in the next 10 months against Australasian opposition, in a double Ashes year.

Expected Teams (Cricinfo):

New Zealand 1 Peter Fulton, 2 Hamish Rutherford, 3 Kane Williamson, 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Dean Brownlie, 6 Brendon McCullum (capt), 7 BJ Watling (wk), 8 Tim Southee, 9 Bruce Martin/Ian Butler, 10 Neil Wagner, 11 Trent Boult

England (probable) 1 Alastair Cook (capt), 2 Nick Compton, 3 Jonathan Trott, 4 Kevin Pietersen, 5 Ian Bell, 6 Joe Root, 7 Matt Prior (wk), 8 Stuart Broad, 9 Graeme Swann, 10 James Anderson, 11 Steven Finn

As far as the England lineup goes, I think its pretty much fine.
As for NZ, I would like McCullum to come in at 3 and let Williamson bat at 5 instead. The lad is a phenomenal tallent, can play spin very well, and has the temprament to bat long and is good against pace ones he's set. McCullum is more for the quick punch and knockout style of batting. If he can play that game effectively against the newish ball, then that would blunt a significant aspect of England's game, andKW is better placed to deal with Swanny and can also bring home the advantage of an early McCullum onslaught. Besides, McCullum is far more experienced than the 22 year old, and has opened in the past.

England have had to pull Swann out, his elbow worryingly looking like it might not recover they are saying,

The bowling resources look stretched now in this ashes year and the kiwis must be fancying this with swannage out.

England maybe in a bit of bobbins here.

In 100 years from now, what will mean more?

SA having played test series between 2007 and 2017 and having won 30 of them and losing 3, or having been ranked number one for 2 years?

Goddamn weather!

Panesar should do a capable job here. Hopefully Swann gets his elbow sorted. Better to be safe now than sorry in the summer.

good move for me to get Swann to have his surgery done. He clearly wasn't at his best in the ODI series, and we really need him fit and firing for the Ashes (the Aussies have a boatload of left-handers in their line-up at the moment, so Swann is needed).

Panesar should do a good job here, NZ aren't exactly renowned as great players of spin and plenty of right-handers for him to get at. Was hoping to watch the first session before bed, but turning in now...

First day washed out. What a shame!.
More seriously, Graeme Swann is flying to the US to attend to his elbow troubles. Thankfully for England, they do have a very capable 2nd spinner in Monty and he should be able to do a fair job, but England need Swanny back as soon as possible. He's hoping he'll be back by May for the NZ return series.

Yep (well, technically it's now autumn). I've just spent 2 1/2 weeks at home in the South Islan, no rain and daily temperature highs ranged from 23-31 degs Very Happy

Rotten timing (I had to be back for a friend's wedding), all the international cricket was in the North Island while I was there*, and the Crusaders had the bye in the opening round (for the NZ teams - the Aussies started a week earlier) of Super XV - so their 1st match kicked off 2 hours after I flew out Sad.

I did make it down to see a few overs of my old club side playing in Christchurch, but 6 seasons on there's only a couple of guys left from when I played - I actually knew more players in the opposition!



*Christchurch doesn't have an international cricket ground yet post-quake while Blenheim (my home town) only hosts a Central Districts home game about every 2nd year - Napier, New Plymouth and Nelson tend to get most CD matches. CD did at least win the 1st class championship while I was home Smile

After the past few weeks at home I'm seriously considering moving back - and that's not something I've done in 6 years. Shame about the job market for data analysts there ...

I am very much stuck where I am sadly.

I live in a lovely place. But I want to feel free to fly where I want to!

Jobs get us down yo-I am forced to be here as much as you are. I want to get back to the roots of the world..

But I suppose If we wernt 'forced' to be here - we may apprecaite where we live more!

Bit of a shame, I was in the office early to try and watch a bit too ( tvs are normally bloomberg but if theres sport on we change over).


Pete, one of my missus' good friends has just moved back (although she is orginally a Saffa). I have to say, looking at the photos she has sent back I did pay a trip to the nz immigration website. As you say, not sure about the job market though, might end up having to commute to Sydney!

My current company does have an office in Melbourne, with some jobs going. Which is somewhat tempting down the track (expenses paid move etc). However given that a certain lady of my acquaintance in Christchurch isn't likely to be able to shift anywhere any time soon that isn't a massive help Doh

Still, good to have the option. You never know, in the future they may decide they need a NZ office too...

True. The guy managing the Melbourne office is a Kiwi too, and back when he was working here I managed (thanks to PenfroPete, one of our Welsh rugby posters) to get him a ticket to Wales vs NZ in Cardiff a few years back Smile

Good delivery indeed mysti but gotta expect a straight one first up.

Cook given a reprieve then gives New Zealand a reprieve by getting stupidly out.

Just poor start to a series again

The lack of warm ups looking like burning us on the bum here.

Bad news with all the injuries too. Starting to look like NZ could dominate the series.
