    103/1 in the 19th over. Kane and Tommy doing well.

    Devcich, Henry and Boult in for Sodhi, Neesham and Bracewell. Bowling should be stronger, batting not much worse and these are guys we shouldn't need much.

    @Chris-B. looked it up for ya mate: sth africa won the 5 game ODI series 3-2, every game won by the team winning the toss... they played the ODIs before the tests though, so obviously decided at that point it was better to win the toss from now on...

    So the Indians have won nine tosses in a row at home? Aren't the odds of that about 1/500?

    I'd usually just accept the statistical anomaly, but since India,Oz and England so brazenly stole cricket, I'd think cheating at the toss would be a mere bagatelle! 🙂

    2 times Rosco plays that slog sweep - when he can't get any runs & is in bad form & is trying to magic runs, and when he has 70 odd & is flying & accelerating to a ton.

    Alas.. this was the former

    @gollum It was a mercy killing. Probably should have batted Ronchi at five since Coriander Son isn't exactly in form either.

    Hundred for Little Kane - showing the Indians that he can play a bit. But, he's cramping in the hands and forearms, so he's going to struggle to go too much further.

    The words of Alan Border to Dean Jones spring to mind! 🙂

    Luke Ronchi is a fluffybunny who needs to fuck right off. He is well past his use-by date. He brings nothing, and everytime we need him to be reliable the do the right thing, he fucks it up. Every fuckin' time.

    I went early on Southee last time, but christ, get him in there.

    @Bones this is fuckin' ridiculous. Boy have we been found out on this tour. Bring back BMac

    Time to clean out some chaff and find us the following:
    a solid, skillful opening batsman (we don't need rip/shit and bust, we need to bat solid)
    a Williamson clone.
    a wicket keeper.
    actual wicket taking bowlers - wheres Milne and McClenaghan?

    its going to be some lean years...

    Yeah cause his 30 off 15 balls would have made all the difference...

    And to get it we would have dropped Latham. If Baz is there Lathams not.

    Wow. If it weren't for Kane, and his back up Latham, that would be a very, very sad scoreboard. What the fuck is up with Guptill and Taylor? And our middle order sucks. Santner used to be good for 30 odd runs, but he isn't adding much lately either. After some decent form in the tests, Ronchi has gone back to shit. And if Anderson isn't bowling, he shouldn't be in as a batsman.

    No pressure Henry and Boult, but help us. You're our only hope.

    Good Lord. Guptill bowling the 41st over in a finely balanced chase:

    Wd Wd W Wd 1 1 0 W Wd 0

    4 wides and two wickets!

    The Lightning Boult really looked good - getting the ball through at 140 km he looks a different bowler. Southee was bowling 7 shades of poop then produced the perfect yorker just when needed. Glad I woke up in time to see it.
