Agreed. Paul Collingwood MBE was also one of them, more in Thorpey mode, but also able to handle the ball and accumulate in some way without obviously accumulating. Asked about Blundell’s departure yesterday, Broad explains that he uses a man in deep county cricket when the ball is soft or the court is not offering to try to make something happen now. But McCullum suggested they bring him to a position of arrest, as he is on the fence, in a yard on both sides and there are four anyway, while below, the best players will try to overtake or overtake him, which which means that they are far from abortion. . It is not bad. Stuart Broad is excited and also willing to note that only your cricket test gives that. “We were great yesterday to create those opportunities,” he says. He knows that some wickets were given in England, but he believes that they arose due to the pressure created by his team. She has not seen much better tracks than her, saying the teams have gone around four a hit right – the Root ramp apart – it does not matter to chase a win on the fifth day. On the bus last night, the players said it was a dream day of cricket, watching both teams play bat and bowl, and it’s a great pleasure to see such a crumpled competitor buzzing with the mere joy of passing the working day day dealing with something. as wonderful as that. Updated at 10.44 BST Breaking News: Kyle Jamieson will hit 10, which leaves Boult at 11 and means he needs a run to get back the most runs in the number 11 cat by James Anderson. Trent Boult looks extremely happy to be where he is and why he was not. He enjoyed Root’s dismissal with a slower ball yesterday, mentioning it without prompting – imagine you could throw it in a chinwag – and noted how much he and the rest of the dressing room love the symbolism of both the Black Caps and Test Cricket. You and we both, old friend. He praises “Baz” McCullum, or “Bez” as he puts it – what an image this is – for his excellent cricket brain and can not understand why a draw is the favorite, especially given who is in charge of the England team. For those not in the UK, here is the TMS link: There has been some controversy recently – and rightly so – about how much it costs to watch a test match. Well done Nottinghamshire for making today’s entrance free – it’s a shame it’s not half time, but I hope some parents are training at home today. Just looking at some highlights, I missed Mark Butcher calling Root “The unstoppable run machine”. Wonderful things. I enjoyed that. It’s really crazy to think, it was not just that the others were better nicknamed than Root, it seemed like they were left behind, for good. Remember when he could not turn fifty into hundreds? And now look!

Preamble

Waking up in the middle of the night and feeling this feeling without knowing why. The brain catches the difference with the body, and both are suddenly inflamed by chance, unable to rest. spring on the step. You can not beat this thing of ours. There is a word for Yiddish, gevaldig, which – unusual for Yiddish – does not refer to pain, emotional incontinence or, eh, body parts. Rather, it means awesome, amazing and amazing all mixed up – with, I like to believe, an element of spiritual uplift. The cricket test is gevaldig. And there is another Yiddish word, mechayeh, which means a rare pleasure – with, I like to believe, an affirmative aspect that deserves to be alive. Reaching the fifth day of a test match with all four possible results and no serious idea of ​​which one will take place is mechayeh. According to my admittedly harmless calculations, this does what we are going to enjoy a gevaldig mechayeh. Since such things do not happen so often, it is our duty to enjoy it. The most likely result remains a draw because in the end, neither team has enough firepower to be forced to return to a field that does not do enough. Yesterday morning, we noticed that if it were not for the amount of catches lost, the scores of the first races would be much lower, but by yesterday afternoon they had more or less equated to how diligently New Zealand threw the wickets. However, the logical blow this morning should lead them to safety. And yet, and yet, and yet. England is perfectly capable of making its way to almost any target that can be set, just as it collapses under the weight of the routes it needs now, it does not matter in an hour or two – and that is before we take into account the brilliance of Trent Boult . I can not wait for you either. Game: 11 a.m. BST Updated at 10.21 BST
