….and to think the fern has always had a go at Southee about not caring about his batting

[Yeahtheboys]

If Conway opens there should be blood on the walls at NZC

Inspired choice given how well the last two games went

[Donsteppa]

Had we batted first, this is the sort of game where Allen would have flattered to deceive.

Yeah I’m not sure the logic here. Surely they’d want to save face and try and post a massive total ?

[MN5]

Well Boult has started well

[MN5]

3/3. Wickets falling fast and run rate standing still so far.

[Duluth]

Chasing 41

That’s why you bowl first in these matches. More time for after match drinks

[Cyclops]

The decision to not play warm ups might have made more sense if this had been our first game.
