England - New Zealand

comment on the article

I'll be bringing you today's live text for England against New Zealand.

news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cri...

Both teams have made one change - Tremlett in for Mascarenhas, and Gillespie for Mason.

How do you think the game will pan out - and more importantly, will the weather allow us to get a full game in?

Well done New Zealand. England were poor but the amount of times that poor New Zealand play gave England chances to get back into tests/one-dayers/20twenty's NZ deserved to finally win one.

Big mistake dropping Mascarenhas - he can bat well.

In general, England's big problem is inconsistent batsmen.

Taking EVERYTHING into account - England are pound for pound the worst cricketing nation on earth. Sporting too, in all probability, although the rugby team has salvaged a little pride in the past few years.

Congrats to the Kiwis, and I look forward to them dishing out another comprehensive hammering in the next few days.
