Farkin hell, looks like we might be on the right side of the ledger for once!! Finn Allen the key, a huge innings set the bar. Jamieson, Sodhi also bowling well. Question - Why didnt we have this approach in the first two matches?

[Jailbreak7]

Am enjoying this on a pleasant sunny Sunday afternoon from my privileged position on the sofa terraces and an ice cold beer in hand. A complete role reversal, BCaps completely dismantling England. A good performance in the field too. Very welcome to see.

What is "this approach"?

[Jailbreak7]

@Rapido An all out attack! Dont wait for England to come to you, go out and attack them from the off....it works!

Batting second?

You'll notice Englands awesome batting in the first two matches somewhat withered as well

Glenn Phillips also chipping in with a handy 69.

What a way to start the day!

Started watching just after Phillips and Chapman came together, Phillips took the game away from England and Chapman put the icing on the cake.

Much better than it looked like at the halfway mark. Seemingly a series of who batted second...

[Windows97]

Except for the 2nd and 3rd games were the team who batted first won

But excellent to see NZ have some fight and level the series, first NZA and now this!! Those dammed cricketers using up all that sporting luck the AB's will desperately need...

This is probably why I'm always the reserve scorer or umpire. Mere details...

falls off chair in delighted shock

Hold onto that chair Don, NZ A also won the second 'Test' - by 68 runs.
NZ- 277 & 299 to Aus- 275 & 233
Kuggeliejn and O'Rourke with 3 second innings wickets each to clean them up.

NZC should allow Australia to enter 2 teams into the Plunket Shield.

Maybe a Boxing Day Test at the Basin by 2040.

NZ strangling Eng

[nzzp]

Turned on to see Mitchell go nuts; 464 off rashid. He and Conway centuries, and a dominant partnership that wins us the game. Well done lads

[SBW1]

NZ A have performed really well against their Australian counterparts, surely that bodes well for the future.

[Cyclops]

Mitchell is quite the phenomenon. His first class record was decent but didn't really suggest that he was going to dominate at international level like he has. I never really saw him play before his black caps debut, did anyone see him playing before that and see signs of what was to come?

While Kane is out injured he has a decent claim to being our best bat. I keep expecting him to turn back into a pumpkin but he just keeps performing.
