Here comes Broom

Broom destroying the sight screen

[Chris B.]

Jimmy goes - 210/6 after 38.

Too many wickets down, here - we're running the risk of being bowled out cheaply.

Still two wickets too many.

[mariner4life]

too many starts with no one going on. Guppy needed to turn that in to a big one.

No one in our team batting below 5 has an average of above 30. Our best four batsmen are our first four batsmen. It makes it tough for them because they can't get out cheaply and have to bat the majority of the overs. There is still hope that Broom and Neesham could be a good 5 and 6 partnership.

[Donsteppa]

A big hope of NZ cricket is an injury free Neesham.

Not to mention that Anderson bloke...

[Chris B.]

Case that they should have sent Timmeh out ahead of Santner in this situation.

Tim is only going to play one way, so there's something to be said for knowing how much he's going to contribute today in planning how to bat the rest of the innings.

[Donsteppa]

We've at least got it well into the territory of 'runs on the board'

[hydro11]

Can't see Southee scoring runs against quality fast bowling.

[Chris B.]

Broom just survives and gets six instead of out.

Santner not so lucky.

247/7 - still nearly five overs to go.

[MN5]

Yep, we have 'something to bowl at' so to speak.

Stink that one of Guppy or Neesh couldn't go on.

[Chris B.]

Tim does fuck all.

[Donsteppa]

Handscomb bats wonderfully and keeps terribly.

A good call to have stuck with the Santner/Southee batting order.

[Mokey]

Southee you fucking dumb fuckstick. All you had to do was stay around for a few overs.

[Donsteppa]

Broom the batting saviour. What a summer and comeback for him so far.

[MN5]

Southee does getting a fucken hard time on here for his anything I must say....

Some of it deserves to be fair.

[Mokey]

Santner wasn't much better. Stupid, stupid decision making. If we don't bat out our overs, will be a crime.

Broom playing very well. Good on him, giving us a chance.

The sourness and bitterness that goes with supporting the Caps. Or maybe that goes with being a regular on here

[Donsteppa]

... and can we have Broom in the test side instead of the ever scratchy Nicholls?

[/clutching at straws. New great hope]

[MN5]

Ha I meant batting....auto correct made my post even better
