Broom just survives and gets six instead of out.

Santner not so lucky.

247/7 - still nearly five overs to go.

[MN5]

Yep, we have 'something to bowl at' so to speak.

Stink that one of Guppy or Neesh couldn't go on.

[Chris B.]

Tim does fuck all.

[Donsteppa]

Handscomb bats wonderfully and keeps terribly.

A good call to have stuck with the Santner/Southee batting order.

[Mokey]

Southee you fucking dumb fuckstick. All you had to do was stay around for a few overs.

[Donsteppa]

Broom the batting saviour. What a summer and comeback for him so far.

[MN5]

Southee does getting a fucken hard time on here for his anything I must say....

Some of it deserves to be fair.

[Mokey]

Santner wasn't much better. Stupid, stupid decision making. If we don't bat out our overs, will be a crime.

Broom playing very well. Good on him, giving us a chance.

The sourness and bitterness that goes with supporting the Caps. Or maybe that goes with being a regular on here

[Donsteppa]

... and can we have Broom in the test side instead of the ever scratchy Nicholls?

[/clutching at straws. New great hope]

[MN5]

Ha I meant batting....auto correct made my post even better

[Donsteppa]

All hail the New Broom. 73(75).

Runs on the board.

[Virgil]

Clearly next game Boult should be batting above Santner (maybe even Munroe)

[MN5]

We'll end up 50-60 short of a really good total.

But better than it was looking for awhile....

[hydro11]

Australia bat deep but don't have any world class batsmen in their team. I think we have a decent chance of defending that score.

[ACT Crusader]

Lightning goes off at Eden Park

[JC]

@hydro11 Loving your optimism. If Trent bowls like he batted, who knows?

[Mokey]

Nice cameo at the end by Boult. Least that is a half decent total to bowl at. But we'll need to bowl tightly and take the catches first time.

[mariner4life]

287 is definitely defendable. Add in they are missing their undoubted two best bats, and the guy who glued together their lower middle order in the recent series, and we are in with a shout.

Head the big wicket, and containing the Big Show on a tiny ground.

[Chris B.]

Lots of guys who can do the job for Australia - but, fewer who've played the big hand regularly.

Rossco has more ODI hundreds than the entire Aussie team.

To state the obvious, we simply need to bowl them out or we will almost certainly lose. Keep attacking Kane!
