50 up for KW.
He’ll get 100 now
What a rookie move. You know what to do
He’d made 50 and we all know what his conversion rate has been lately. I thought it was a pretty safe prediction.
I’m very disappointed in myself

Good day for NZ.
Questions really are how long to bat and how much is enough?
I would approach it by time rather than runs scored; and look to declare midway between lunch and tea on day 4.
However if we are able to maintain a good run rate tomorrow we could declare an hour or so earlier.

This might be the most optimistic post in Fern history

So 22 wickets down in the first 2 days.
The plan is then to use the remaining 8 wickets that we have to bat a similar 2-ish day timeframe - actually less than 8 wickets as we plan to declare (more of a smackdown if we do that, kudos) - and give the Aussies a day and a bit to chase us down.
I like it sir, it’s very cunning and will show these Aussie bastards exactly what we are made of.
Alternatively, we could fold for 230-odd by lunch tomorrow, leaving them about 140 to chase and we can wrap this thing up inside 3 days
If I was a betting man…

Playing in the V would be a start

Solid start today.
if you're watching, is Smith's movment legal? I argue not. I think he moves before the ball gets to Mitchell
Any movement by any fielder, excluding the wicket-keeper, after the ball comes into play and before the ball reaches the striker, is unfair except for the following: 28.6. 1.1 minor adjustments to stance or position in relation to the striker's wicket.

I think it is OK. The exception Smith will rely on is:
28.6.1.3 movement by any fielder in response to the stroke that the striker is playing or that his/her actions suggest he/she intends to play.
Mitchell is signalling a reverse sweep. At that point the fielder can move to cover it.
