A fairly promising start... Englands bowling looks a bit better. End of first day NZ are 282 for 6. more here...
C'mon England!!!
I mean NZ
I mean....
Okay, I'll support NZ for this one.
What's the series score Arthur? It wasn't mentioned in the article
At the moment it's 0-0 on account that it's the first of the Tests. Shall I say DOH! for you...?
D'oh!!
I'm getting all confused
Ahhhh.... yes... England and NZ did recently play a test series
....only not with each other
oops
C'mon Engerlandd! 
NZED!!!
BOOooooooooo..............
It's more fun when we are on opposite sides
Well, opposite sides of the Tasman at least.
...and of the rugby!
...And the league!
league too??
Which side am I on?
You support Aust, Qld, and The Broncos. 
Same as me..
HAHAHAHA
Sneaky andro.... very sneaky...
Muahhahahaha
LOL!!
oops.... not looking good for England at the end of the day
Shite, the Kiwi's made 470! 
C'mon England, you can do it!
HAHAHAHAH
I've been too busy to catch the highlights (wrong time-zone!) NZ are in a good position and if England respond well it will end up as an inevitable draw...
Except NZ will win
Maybe, maybe not...
hehehehe
(I wonder if you say it like me - maayBE.... maybe not)
Maybe...
was that maaaybe or maybe?
Ok ok, I'll stop
NZ for the win!
Maybe, maybe not...
LOL!
Hmmm, England 282 for 6 (130.1 overs)
Eng scoring rate is slower than NZ....
Dammit.... it's so hard to keep with a test match when I'm not watching it
It's those pesky K1W1's fault...
More like Ch 9's!
Or Foxtel...
Whatever, they're all evil
Agreed...
*nods solemnly*
Story of the day in pictures from the BBC
Great pics, deezee!!........Thanks..
England have now passed the point of follow-on and the likely result now, given the wicket conditions, appears to be a draw.
Bah!
*hops around very excited*
Guess who won?? Yes, WON!
The Kiwis thrashed em! hehehe
Bloody K1W1's.....
Reminiscent of how Aust played against India recently.
(the Poms I mean)
hahahaha
mmm hmmmm
Umm...well it IS england.....
Yeah... they only got thrashed... hmmm... what was it.... 5-0? in the last Ashes?
Go Engerlannnddddd...........
Day one of 2nd test, and England have already lost 5 wickets
Oh dear, Come on Engerrrlannddd! You can beat those K1W1's..
hehehe We'll see..
settle down dek...it's 342 against 198 in the first innings...Poms should thrash NZ from there...but, as learned Morgan K said above "it is England"...
D'oh!! So NZ messed their innings up eh?
Dunno...do we put it down to NZ frailty, or Englands bravery in dropping their two top bowlers (Harmison and Hoggard) after their woeful first test?
It has apparently worked because James Anderson took 5 wickets and the Poms look revitalised
Nice! Good effort
Well it would seem that ditching the hopeless Harmison has done the trick... England win 2nd test...
Aha!!
Now things get interesting!
Indeed, come on the Poms!
Well well well... End of day three of last test and England are 500 up with 5 wickets remaining on their second innings. NZ can only hope for an implosion from England to achieve (at best) a draw...
England 253 & 467/7d
New Zealand 168 & 5/0 (3.1 ov)
as at 0830 Bris/0930 Syd Tuesday...start of Day 4
.
D'oh!! 
I had a peek earlier on and the Kiwis were sailing along at 147 for 1, but at the end of Day 4...they are 222 for 5, and should lose tomorrow.
#*^&%@!!!
hehehe
BTW, did you guys see this?
Yes, it's very sad...let's hope that Shaun Tait is not heading down the same path
Yeah.... wonder how he's doing
It's all over...England won by 120 something runs, and thus wins the test series.
It would have been great to see the Kiwi Southee at the end getting 77 off 40 balls...with 9 sixes !!
They won the whole thing? Only 3 matches?
Oh well.... Well done.
(I think I know how England finally won. I have to support the team they're playing against)
Keep supporting NZ. They now travel to England! Then please switch your alliegences to South Africa and then India...
Then with a couple of swift series wins over WI and the Zimmos in 2009 England should be top test playing nation...
...before they once again whup the Aussies on their UK tour
BTW I was thinking of starting a" India in the RSA " topic, but seeing as the Saffies are 109 for 0 we'd better leave it for now...tee hee
That NZ tail ender Southee (what sort of name is that?) certainly wasn't shy about whacking the ball around. 77 off 44 balls, that's Twenty20 stuff!
Still Good old Sidey ripped the timbers out of the ground for the last wicket, it was worth waiting up to see that. NZ at home here we come.
BTW, Dravid has become the 6th batsman in history to score 10 000 runs!
That's very many runs!
sure is...he's a brilliant bat, but lacks charisma and personality nearly as much as Raikkonen does...
No way! Are you kidding??
He's one of the most likeable international players!
gotcha
