Cricket: NZ vs Aus

@canefan I'm giving the batsmen a bit of benefit of the doubt, that this bowling has probably been relentlessly the best they've ever seen. But, there have been some soft dismissals and that was probably the softest.
Pattinson oversteps and Phillips has at least his third life.

@taniwharugby Lulled them right into a false sense of security!

Looks like I'll be pretty much bang on

50 and out on debut for Phillips.
Good result on paper but sounds like he spent a series worth of luck in one innings
Basically, one of the not outs was a No Ball when he got caught.

Yeah that fraction of a second advantage the bowler got hurried him into the shot and caused the ball to go to hand rather than over the rope.
Not fair to consider that a chance obviously.

Well, the platform was there to fight back on a deadish-looking pitch, but we've capitulated really. Really needed people like Tom Latham, Rossco and BJ to stand up and bat a long time, but they've got in and then got out.
It's a pretty annoying and sub-par effort - in many ways the worst so far, even though it's our highest score - and made with a B team.

That was probably as good as that batting line up is, against that bowling attack.
Quite possibly.
But, Rossco and BJ especially are much better than what they contributed and it was the easiest batting conditions of the series. Another hundred runs and there would be a decent prospect of a draw - and 50 more each from those two wouldn't be too much to ask - along with less soft dismissals from CdG, Wagner and even Henry.
