Re: Cricket discussion
There is an old saying, When winning the toss If the pitch is good..... bat If you are undecided....think about it ........then bat
We would have put on at least 600 on that pitch, probably quicker than NZ Whether the pitch is getting better or not, the team batting 2nd will always be under pressure to catch up. So we have missed a trick. Cook is only learning, so I can't be too hard on him. The blame is the Drop-in pitches which are great tracks for ODI's but will never give a result in a test match Get back to natural pitches.

Re: Cricket discussion
Yes, poor decision by Cook to put NZ in on that pitch. We should've batted first, put 600 on the board and pressed hard for them to follow on.

draw 11\5 NZ 8/15 Haven't had a bet mate. Hard game to predict and Cook should never have put the kiwis in to bat.
