Black Caps v Australia

[MN5]

Sears is in for O’Rourke. Not Kuggs.

O’Rourke - 11 wickets at 17.36
Kuggs - 6 wickets at 42.33

Not to mention, younger, taller, more promising long term……

I’d love to hear the logic for that selection.

EDIT: injured, just read that. I’ll stop being outraged.

How many wickets will NZ be down by lunch? This test could be decided in the first session.

[Canes4life]

The Basin is the home of cricket in NZ Marky Mark, not Hagley.

The naturally suspicious part of me wonders that if the Aussie Seamers haven't taken a wicket (so far) after sending us in, maybe that just means it's Nathan Lyon's day...

25/0 after ten.

[Pepe]

Will Young is doing his best to be the first one. Tough chance put down close in.

[Pepe]

and here comes Nathan...

[Stag]

Good start but slipping back into a snail like scoring rate, building pressure on themselves again.

[KiwiMurph]

That's why you should play in the V to balls like that....

[MN5]

Young out once again after doing the openers job but ultimately scoring fuck all.

I wish he’d done better this series

I agree, I hope Latham does better as well, also found wanting of late

Youngs innings of 9, 15 and 14 have come off 50,52 and 57 balls respectively so it’s not like he’s not been hanging around and surviving for a bit.

Just a frustrating run of such nothing scores.

I think Young has done as well as to be expected given his technique and talent against the best bowling unit in the world.

[Donsteppa]

Normal service resumes...

[No Quarter]

Ideally one of the openers would have gone on with it, but after being put in, seeing off the new ball is still a pretty good result. Stage set for Kane and Rachin now.

[Donsteppa]

Still mildly annoyed every time I see the batting card list Blundell at six and Phillips at seven.

[KiwiMurph]

That might be the worst shot of Rachin's career so far

God we suck

I wish people would stop making predictions on here

Sounded very irresponsible for a number four so close to lunch. The Radio commentators certainly went on about it.
