1st Test - England vs NZ at Lords May 16-20

[Xfactor1979]

NZ would have been bowled out for 160-200 because of wreckless batting and indisciplined shots

In my personal experience, I would have had a whale of a time if I was back over there in England with my antipodean/ English co-workers: as England, NZ and Australia up there this northern summer is an office sledgers paradise

Poms did it pretty tough.

Boult, Wagner and Southee were almost unplayable. Martin was incredibly tight all day.
