depends on KP - If I were Cook, had seen the weather forecast I'd be saying to him "get your eye in then attack!"

Wouldn't assume this Eng attack could bowl out NZ once, never mind twice, after events in Dunedin.

Bell to get a ton today? Bairstow must be feeling pretty peeved. Is there a case for dropping bell for bairstow for the ashes?

What is the point of ian bell? How often has he got a ton from 30/3 or 60/4 or 100/5?

interesting whether a wicket benefits the draw...

Lies damned lies and statistics Nigel.

He is a good player, lovely to watch and I love watching him and KP but how many test matches has he won? Compare that with KP. Bowlers might be the ones that win matches but great innings in tough match situations are in short supply from Bell

How does an average over no fewer than 85 test matches lie?? The point is it's taken over time and will include wins and losses.

He got 199 from sod all for 3 against SA in 2008

Draw price crashing in.

By:

ecdub2 When: 14 Mar 13 23:11

draw price will drop 10 points or so shortly with no wicket and no change in tempo. going at 2 an over.. not what most england backers had in the script!

By:

Re Bell,

Like you say Nigel he has a good overall record. One century against Australia, 3 against Bangla. I don't think he has made his hundreds when the chips were down. That's all unlike all the other front line batsmen.

117/3 he came in v saffers. Hardly sod all. And kp got lots with him. Even if i give you that one, and the ton in safrica a few years back and that one v india batting at three in 2011, it is only three in 9 years.

By:

rob_dylan When: 14 Mar 13 23:24

That overall is wrong WD, he doesnt average 49

where is the fooking rain

By:

ecdub2 When: 14 Mar 13 23:27

i do enjoy a cricket stat. can read into them whatever you please.

kp for example - 121 odi inns. 9 centuries.
3 of those in the space of 9 days vs saffers in 2005 -
2 in 3 weeks vs oz and windies in 2007,
2 in 2008
and 2 in 4 days in 2012.

good or bad record?

By:

ecdub2 When: 14 Mar 13 23:27

the draw has moved out 5 ticks based on that one attacking shot!

By:

judorick When: 14 Mar 13 23:30

how many is KP going to get before he gets himself out? 40 +/- 10 my guess

By:

judorick When: 14 Mar 13 23:31

more I mean, not total

By:

Footiefan111 When: 14 Mar 13 23:32

anyone want to estimate how many overs will be lost due to bad weather

They won't get any play on day 5 and time will be lost on day 4 IF this plays out.
