So that's why he posts the score every day.
If he doesn't he'll forget.
Lack of options probably the only thing that makes Root captain.
England have looked in need of a shake up in this match.
Considering they have a new coach they look very stale.
Game over
NZ win by an innings and 65 runs
England 353
NZ 615/9
England 197
So not only do I have the depressing feeling that today is Tuesday when it's only Monday, but we got walloped.
So is that a reason to leave him there when he looks like a scared rabbit in headlights?Quote:

Lack of options?
Well obviously yes.
Maybe it's time to give Stokes a crack at it.
Needs someone with balls (figuratively speaking).
Or a N.Z Southern Hemisphere Pommy ring in should fit the bill as he has a criminal record.
I hear Prince Andrew is good at bowling wrong-uns these days. Bowl an underage maiden over in a single over !
Just some suggestions as your side are shite at the moment!
Pink Ball Day/Night test just about to get underway in Adelaide.
Drizzling now, but play is expected to commence shortly.
UPDATE ... in 10 mins
Drizzle/Showers are expected over the next few days.
Australia won the toss and elected to Bat.
Ideally Australia bat through to twilight tomorrow and let the swinging Pink Ball do it's damage.
Assuming, that is, the Aussies get through tonight's session.
I see England are having trouble bowling again.
Cricket is such a stupid game... Where's the baseball thread?
Is that in response to England's terrific start with the bat? You want a thread on Rounders?
^ baseball is a good game, 'Arry. Geet yeeself to a game or two, sit down with a hotdog, watch the dancing girls and enjoy!
Some big scores getting racked up of late in India and Oz which is great for individual batting records, same can't be said for England though.
Oz declare 589 for 3, can Pak avoid the follow on?
EDIT
Congrats Warner on 335 not out carried his bat.
Aus v Pak, two reviews in the first two overs and Pak will be lucky not to be one wicket or more down before the close.
David i've been watching it, could get ugly for Pak....again.
Away teams have had a torrid time of late; Bang in Ind, Eng in NZ and Pak in Oz. I don't know if its lack of prep or just poor performances but the away bowling has been toothless and the home batting ruthless.
EDIT
and no nightwatchman for Pak...
4 down for 69, on any other occasion that would be nice.
^ I'm happy with 2-4-69 (tried that elsewhere here but no-one got it)
---
Pak 4/69 ... trail Aus by 520
England spinner Jack Leach was admitted to hospital with gastroenteritis during the second Test against New Zealand in Hamilton.
The 28-year-old, who was dropped for the final match of the series, began feeling unwell after the morning session on day two. England say he is likely to stay in hospital overnight.
"It's quite worrying news but we've got great medical staff to look after him," said England bowler Stuart Broad.
England reached 39-2 in reply to New Zealand's 375 after two days at the Bay Oval.
