Re: Cricket

Let's hope so - it's the fighting spirit which has been missing with too many players almost capitulating.

As for the 'highlights' well I suppose it's a big ask condensing a days play into 40 minutes and who knows what C5 get from Sky but I don't think they're up to much. What I did see was a few catches being lost through gaps in the slip cordon due to defensive field placings. There was no way NZ were ever going to win this so I'm at a loss to understand why those gaps were there. It's that sort of 'play unnecessarily safe' mentality which has cost England dear many times in the past and a number or former players commented on it.
