@mn5 @Chris-B futile argument, we did this a couple of years ago remember.
Go back and find the thread and you’ll have your definitive answer (TSF is never wrong) of who gets in.
They really let the buggers off the hook not being able to get the tailenders out in a timely manner.
Couple of quick wickets this morning please!
I take full responsibility for starting it by reminiscing over the great man Cairnsy and his achievements.

Taylor goes, and we are way way way behind the 8-ball now given we have to bat last.

Why does it happen so often, that the Black Caps follow up a brilliant performance with an utter shit one, batting-wise?
Openers.
With few exceptions we have always had below average openers. Aside from the rare periods with a Richardson or Wright our weakest or inconsistent batsmen have opened. Always susceptible to a couple of quick wickets and things spiral from there.

Especially stints with two solid openers at the same time - Richardson, Wright and Turner were solid, but it takes two.
From Cricinfo: "Think NZ are dead and buried? Wait for the resurrection on the third day... of the test that is."

Still way behind the game, but that's an awesome fightback from BJ and CdG. We need them to bat the rest of the day though.
