Steve Smith caught ball tampering on camera as well. Lovely stuff.

8 for 5 must have been one of our worse starts ever!

Woakes has pulled us over 150 though - had a great ODI series after a pretty average Ashes.

Just a shame we didn't manage to get Head this morning...

Luckily we had wood and we did manage to get head in the end. I would have preferred if it was a bit earlier though.

Just a shame we didn't manage to get Head this morning...

Because our Willey wasn't involved

 

[Super_horns]

Great 2 fingered catch by Moeen Ali earlier trigging an Aussie collapse .

 

[blademan89]

Get in there

The 2 London ones, edgbaston and old Trafford are the 4 best grounds so rightfully should host ashes tests. Headingley or Trent bridge are the other 2 next on the list and it seems headingley must have bid more money.

 

[Super_horns]

Yes - something to do with raising funds to pay back someone involved in the ECB who helped save Yorkshire a few years back.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Absolutely bottled that.

 

[blademan89]

Another loss on the England away cv,

 

[Super_horns]

Absolutely bottled that.

Both teams did their best to grab defeat from the jaws of victory in a way.

We just managed to achieve that!

 

[Camborne Gills]

Just found out that Northeast has pissed off to Hampshire, wtf? I do miss the old WAK site

 

[claret50]

Good start To the 2nd ODI against NZ, the kiwis asked to bat first (which they hate) and are now 8/1

 

[blademan89]

Looking good this one, stunning fielding display so far

 

[claret50]

target of 224 to chase.

 

[blademan89]

Stunning fielding display that , it doesn't get any better

 

[blademan89]

Very impressive

 

[Super_horns]

That is why they were so keen for Stokes to return.

 

[blademan89]

Cracking end get in there

 

[blademan89]

That collapse could come back to bite us here.

 

[blademan89]

Well played Ross Taylor but that collapse from us was embarrassing. On to christchurch for the decider

 

[blademan89]

Stunning from jonny

 

[claret50]

Only 38 runs required.

 

[claret50]

Ended with a six, well played England.

 

[blademan89]

Absolute hammering to end a very enjoyable tour, roll on Sri Lanka in October. Come on england

 

[Super_horns]

Hopefully Bairstow and Woakes take this form into the test series.

5 ODI series wins in a row - very impressive.

Absolutely frightening batting line-up, woakes, stokes , rashid , plunkett bowling too it's a stunning one day line up really.
