Black Caps - Bangladesh tour

@Rapido love the optimism.

Could do with a ridiculous hitting innings from Phillips or Mitchell today, but I can't see it. We are so far behind in the game right now - woul dneed some serious tail wagging to get anywhere.

you know what really grinds my gears?

The South Continent nations have genuine home pitch advantages. Absolute burners that take experience to play on

What do we serve up in response? Benign flat batting decks. The only reason for our success was we had a metronome South African willing to bowl bouncers over after over after over until the batsman got bored and fucked up.

Bring back the fucking green.

Woah, woah, woah.

Don't mistake that for optimisim.

If it were to turn out that way, it would be just in time for Bangladesh to bat and put on 500.

Of all the things I expected turning on this afternoon, rain was not on the list.

“I guess it rains, down in bangggggggladesh”

Three more days of rain and we might get out of this one with a draw...

[Windows97]

Reminiscent of the good old glory days of NZ cricket where if rain carried their bat for the innings the caps might escape with a draw.

Philips has been positive after the resumption. Poor shot selections eventually undo Mitchell.

All rounder Santner justifies the recall with a well compiled 1…….might looks a bit shit on paper but when you consider Sodhi would have definitely got 0 it’s a valuable run in the scheme of things.

Santner was a terrible effort. Go out and have a swing.

His fielding will make all the difference

Look at Phillips go !

Debut ton and first innings lead of about 60 odd coming right up. You read it here first.

That one.

He won’t be able to buy a wicket at home.

[LABCAT]

Man, I really like watching Phillips bat!

yes!

And Kylo! What a player... leaning back and smoking balls to the boundary

[LABCAT]

Wow! He's in the zone!

[LABCAT]

Damn, Jamieson fiddles at one and hes gone.

[Gunner]

Jamieson hangs the bat at one…

What’s Timmy gonna do.

He might try to hang about with Phillips since he’s hitting it well.
