Black Caps v Australia
-
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.

Ravindra the pick of our batters for the series. Not perfect, but he's played with confidence. Just has to learn when to leave
You’re probably right but the fact you’ve picked a guy who got 0 and 4 speaks volumes about the batting this series.

The bar is low for sure. But he's got two 50s as well in a relatively low scoring series

I’m not saying anything further after the Kane Williamson fiasco yesterday

Pleasing thing is 4 batsmen have stood up so far Latham and Williamson did a great job batting against the new ball and the fresh Aussie quicks that 125 run partnership put a halt on a possible collapse.
Now backed up by Ravindra and Mitchell.
That us what I want to see some fight with the bat. -

That is what I want to see some fight with the bat.It’s very promising so far. Another 150 runs and the pressure is fully back on Oz

We will have a real game if we can score another 150/180

I don't think Australia will be worried about having to chase 320. Pitch looks docile and it won't break up.
We need another 220+. I know historically it is hard to chase big scores on day 4 and 5, but I can't see it being an issue here.
nope 320 would not be easy Hagley will spin on the last day and half.
