What’s more concerning is the final over of regular time. That was diabolical.

Yep. Better execution from Williamson and it's a 4 and game over. It is hard to be critical after his performance but that was an anti-climatic end to a wonderful individual knock.

Seifert, or any new batsmen, was going to struggle to get some bat on those 2 deliveries but Taylor was on strike for the last ball. He could have just blocked and ran as Seifert would have made his ground at that end.

i don't believe it is. When you are 95 not out, you don't get out with 3 balls left in the game. You absolutely have to finish there.

Promoting Santner and Park cricket Colin over Taylor looks even worse today than it did last night.

All of it was bad.
Kane had a brain explosion and got himself out in sight of the finish line
Seifert tried to hit the skin off the ball instead of trying to get some bat on it and get off strike
Taylor went for the big boundary when all we needed was a safe 2

[Chris B.]

@canefan ....all we needed was a safe 1.

[Siam]

@Bovidae could he replace McMillan in the commentary box please?

[LABCAT]

Williamson is injured so will not be playing tonight.

Bruce is replacing CdG so Mitchell will come in for Williamson.

I'm guessing the batting order will look something like this:
Guptill
Munro
Seifert
Bruce
Taylor
Mitchell
Kuggelijin
Santner
Southee
Sodhi
Bennett

Maybe Bruce and Taylor swap places.

[Donsteppa]

Perhaps Stead will have another masterstroke and open the batting with Santner and Bennett...

[westcoastie]

Nothing on tonights game? guess we're all watching the rugby... at least an NZ team will win that...

[westcoastie]

Sodhi with his third. Guess hes "on" tonight.

[westcoastie]

Now Santner gets one - that'll be enough to keep him in the team for another 12 months.
Looking like world beaters tonight ain't we... #deadrubber

[Donsteppa]

Gatland’s halftime talk has turned the Chiefs and the Black Caps around...

[canefan]

Typical Blues. Always find a way to lose a game

[Donsteppa]

Santner oscillates between great and terrible in the field. That throw was horrid...

[canefan]

I'm on the wrong thread....

How do you get to be the NZ batting coach. Can any of us apply for it?

we're all too short. Clearly awarded on height.

I'd be interested to see what the KPI is

A strong innings by Munro undone by casual running and great fielding...

I had just turned it over and the first ball I watch of the game is that run out. So yes I have swiftly turned it back to the rugby.
