Great decision to have an unchanged team....
Stead isn't known for making big decisions. He and Latham can't justify selecting the same team - again.

Oh perfect, Southee can come out and smoke 77 in a hopeless defeat, thus completing the circle of his career. Just a shame he didn't manage a 5fer as well. No need to select him in Hamilton.
I'll be amazed if they don't pick him for Hamilton in his final test.
TBH - I'm quite supportive of it. The series will be gone - may as well give him a respectful farewell.
If they were going to leave him out - this was the test to do it.
It would be madness not to bring Will Young in for Conway. Blundell should need a hundred here to save himself - but, we don't have a back-up keeper in the squad (it's presumably Conway) so I'll be pretty surprised if they bring someone else in.

To think there's another humiliation to come. From a three-nil whitewash in India to a three-nil whitewash at home.

Carse comes on and takes a terrific caught and bowled.
Latham gone, 33/3.
Provided Ravindra and Mitchell each get a double ton we should do this pretty comfortably
Doesn't have to be Ravindra and Mitchell to get the double tons you mention.
Phillips and Blundell, with some chip-ins from the lower order will be fine also.

Blundell saving us from an absolute humiliation.
Mitch Hay can unpack his suitcase and if Phillips hoped to bat at 6 anytime soon he can put those thoughts from his mind.
The way he got out he's more likely to move down in the order!
Sounds like a general failure from all concerned

Rain dance! Rain dance! Rain dance!
That’s enough from you.
Your team lost the first test to a team that lost 3-0 at home to a team that is about to get hammered 2-0 at home.
So basically your team sux way more than ours.
England > New Zealand > India > Australia
