Phil Long's blog (http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/tms/phil_long/) makes depressing reading for any English cricket fan with the fifth day Seddon Park massacre still fresh in their memories... It seems that not only were the team under prepared, the supporters were also woefully lacking in basic self preservation:

"The sunburn to the shins and feet of one supporter (who shall remain nameless!) on that first day were so bad he had to be taken, hobbling, to A&E at a Hamilton hospital to have the burns dressed and then redressed on subsequent days."

As Phil might say, "It's not the first time England have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory".

The Tea Musk Times confidently predicts a comprehensive victory for England at Wellington. After all; the English (barmy army) HAVE to be "burnt, blistered and buggered" before they really try to win!

Phil's blog is worth reading:

"As I made the eight-hour journey from Hamilton to Wellington by coach yesterday such was the peeling skin on the arms and faces of some of the England supporters onboard I thought I'd accidently stumbled onto a walk-on addition for The Singing Detective!"

Good information presented with a sense of humour.
