And now Jimmy chops on and we're falling apart!

Broom, Munro, Neesham have wasted a very strong position.

176/2 has become 209/6

[No Quarter]

You have to ask questions of the electronic bails. That should have gone flying when it hit the stump there - I'd far prefer they were the correct weight rather then have them light up when removed...

Ah 2 of my favourite sports teams, the Warriors and the Black Craps.
They never disappoint or let me down..

[taniwharugby]

@Virgil lucky you dont support Northland too....

[Gunner]

Fucking terrible batting from our middle order.
The series is slipping away very quickly.
Santner 2 from 13, have a fucking go lad!

Starc to Santner, SIX, well, there's something different. Gets a pitched up delivery on off stump and Santner steps gaily forward - he's not been able to do that since forever - and hits it over the straight boundary. First six, and first boundary in 12 overs

[No Quarter]

Rosco take a bow. ODI hundred number 16. One of NZs very best.

[Virgil]

Thank fuck for Roscoe

[Virgil]

Be a great time for Ross to bring up 6000 ODI runs

[No Quarter]

Santner really struggling to get it away... would almost be better if Ross starts farming the strike...

[Virgil]

If we can find a way to eek out another 100 - 125 runs off these last 4 overs then we might be in with a shout.

since when does that ever come off...

[Virgil]

thar she blows...

[Gunner]

They'll probably finish on 260-265ish.
Good score that, if it's still 1987...
Yea nah, we're fucked.

[taniwharugby]

how was that 6?

[Damo]

This is a total disaster from where we were an hour ago. Will need some top class swing bowling to get us out of this one.

[taniwharugby]

Starc on a hat trick....

[Virgil]

fuck i hate Starc

[hydro11]

I give us about a 45% chance to defend this. Australia have picked a worse batting line up and most of them are hitters. They need someone to get a score a build the innings around.
