CricketAnother collapse, another defeat in NZ. WE only had to bat for a day on a docile pitch to draw or score 300 to win and we did neither. 
It was a poor decision to play Harmison in the first place and I hope Broad gets the nod for the next test. On a plus note, Sidebottom got his first 10 wicket haul

I watched a fair bit of this live and it was Sunday League standard at best
Sidebottom worked his arse off - rest of bowlers were tripe
And as the for the batting, Sundries was 3rd highest score!!!

Like I said weeks back, England should pick the ladies team. Cricket aint for watching by the way. What a way to spoil a nice day . Drink beer, eat sarnies and snooze.....That is what cricket is good for

Sidey was brilliant yesterday, and then today all of the batsmen xcept Vaughaney who wasnt at fault for his wicket and Bell who was excellent, disgraced themselves

One all and one to play. Bowlers performed well but we dropped quite a few day before last. We need our top 6 to contribute with the bat...I fancy a centuy from Vaughan in the last test

I fancy the state of English cricket is at its lowest level ever - A very sad day indeed

Well my flabber has never been as gasted . What a fantastic comeback . There is no doubt we have the players. Each and every one of them is capable of producing a match winning performance as Sidebottom and Panaser showed in this test.
We seem to have a big problem with consistency, application and preparation though. To me those are management flaws and that is where most of our problems are i reckon.

Sorry Halfa, but I doubt your right
England won (which is good and makes me happy) but it was a agianst NZ - hardly a world force
I doubt Enland will fare so well Vs - Aus or India. Still a wins a win, so enjoy, but lets not think that side is a strong one
