Have we messed up not giving Farbrace the job!!??

What a turnaround from 4 months ago in the World Cup - like a revolution, a complete and sensational approach to the batting.

Rashid for the test side? Lets see how he bowls, but you could drop Bell, get Root in at 4, or Ali drops down to 4 as a recognised bat / part time spinner and get Rashid in who looks like he could bat at 8, and we'd have 2 spinners in the side who can both bat.

Well if NZ manage to win we are going to see some great batting

Or shocking bowling.

But the issue with Ali is not whether he bats but that he's not able to run through a side, we don't a spinner who can bat - let alone two of them - we need a spinner who can bowl sides out. I'm not sure that either of these two can do that,

Of course, I'm not sure who in England could - that's the problem

Watching this I can't help but think of Steven Finn... his last effort bowling to McCullum ended in 2-0-49-0, with McCullum scoring 44 including 6 sixes...

Whatever score we end up with, this is going to be something special...

Well if NZ manage to win we are going to see some great batting

Or shocking bowling.

Well of course we do, if you could find one, please let them know!

That showed a lot of nerve by Finn. Could have tried bowl defensive there but kept right on that off stump line. Lovely bit of bowling.

Great pressure bowling, lets keep it up

NZ 50-1 (6.1 overs)

a wicket would be nice.
