Black Caps v England

[No Quarter]

Well, that last wicket just leaves the door ajar for us. England ahead but some early wickets in the next session will make things interesting.

Rigor is a disgrace.

"Catch that, catch that! Yesss!!"

How neutral of him.

I have no problem with commentators that aren't neutral.

He's still more than ready to give compliments about the opposition, and he's working for the home broadcaster

This is shaping up to be a massive loss for the black craps

Yep - just a matter of how much Black Caps lose by

[canefan]

Damn, the Stokes plan almost worked

[Damo]

393 to get. Sounds like a lot in the second innings but with 2 days to go, and a pitch that is pretty road like it is doable if one or two batsmen get going.

Time is ripe for Nicholls to earn himself another 10 tests.

373 to win. I'll just not watch.

[No Quarter]

Awful shot from Conway

Very wise.

[No Quarter]

Kane just plays the wrong line again. We're fucked.

[Damo]

Good bowling from Broad but 2 big gaps between bat and pad.

[Donsteppa]

Tom Not Pakistan, Sri Lanka, West Indies, or Bangladesh Test Sides Latham.

So... banking on Henry Nicholls.

Or England as Tom has a test century against them as well.

[Damo]

Did he hit that?

[Chris]

The difference in mindset is world s apart,
England have positive score runs at every opportunity attitude defence is the second option.

New Zealand defence first extremely tentative and runs are a distant second option very negative.

[Crucial]

Christ. I knew that world test championship thing was a high and I didn’t expect us to stay at the top but how have we fallen so badly?

Attitude in the way we play negative and tentative need to be bolder and positive.

And still an average of 29 against them.

Have finally made it to Bay Oval today among a few other stragglers, but the flow of people is mostly out now...
