On the plus side, no channel surfing needed during the rugby tonight...

[Damo]

Chins up fellas. There's still enough batting to come. While Taylor is in there's still hope.

Is ronchi auditioning for the test spot? 0 off 13 balls

[mimic]

gotta love the applause from the crowd when ronchi got off the mark

Doing the right thing given we're now 4 down with 35 overs to play...

[mimic]

Damned autocorrect. I typed in while Neesham is there we still have hope, but Google came back to say 'are you sure you don't mean Taylor?'

[Damo]

Ronchi's done. Surely this time.

[booboo]

Fuck. When we crash we go down in flames ...

[Mokey]

Ah, the Black Caps. Running the gauntlet from kings to fools since forever.

Perhaps they could call in Amy Satterthwaite for some how to batting tips. Also, I want to know who Ronchi has incriminating photos of. Because DAMN.

[Mokey]

127/6 after 34 overs.

Positives....um, we made it over NZ's lowest total batting first at Eden Park?

This is rough as guts though. You can't have Guptill, Williamson, Taylor and Ronchi all failing on the same day and expect a decent total. And Brownlie and Neesham's 24 each aren't good enough either.

Fuck. Santner out for 24 also.

132/7 after 35.

[Virgil]

Really no one does crash and burn like the Black Craps ... well except the Warriors...

[Damo]

Southee to the rescue.

[Virgil]

Southee to bat through the remaining overs, score a vital 60 or 70 then bowl SA out for 120...

[taniwharugby]

@Virgil it could happen...

colour me shocked he crashed and burned..

[taniwharugby]

@Virgil TBF, when those above him have failed, cant expect much more....

Agreed, except that was a horrible shot to that ball. I don't mind him having a lash, but he needs to play the correct shots to the ball he gets.
