About 50mm of rain will do just nicely.

[Gunner]

Well as entertaining as it is watching Tim deal to Boult on PlayStation cricket, I’m going to bed!

Bring on a decent batting track at EP/Seddon/Westpac or wherever our next game is.

Cricinfo says the game should get underway I about 10 minutes 😔

[KiwiMurph]

The rain is back!

[NTA]

Well, at least I don't get to see us fuck THAT up

[Donsteppa]

Timmy promptly releases the pressure.

[KiwiMurph]

Southee bowls a very hittable ball...

Hah! And buys a wicket

[booboo]

Fuck off Warner ! ! !

[booboo]

So glad I'm getting to see the Australian hitting power

[booboo]

Fuck you Healy it was only 4

[booboo]

Again. Fuck you Healy. Kane had his boundary fielder in a pretty good position for that first bal ...

[booboo]

Aah fuck it.

Linn and Maxwell cruising it.

Bed now.

[booboo]

Best news of the night.

Channel 9 don't get the NZ games.

[Donsteppa]

The Boult, CdG, and assorted rabble show.

[Chris B.]

Too easy!

We were in it with 11 off the first over - after that we weren't!

Why the hell does CDG bat so low

Good question.

If Bruce is just there to be a hitter at 4 (which he is fucking failing at) put CDG there instead as he can hit it but he can also actually bat.

It's easy to be reactionary though. CdG averaged 14 in T20Is before today. Hardly the sign of someone who should be batting at 4.

[Donsteppa]

@hydro11 was that average a reflection of batting lower in the order/slogging out with a couple of overs to go though.

I guess only the team knows what they’re working on behind the scenes. The first half of the summer papered over a few cracks, not least of which being Kane’s form and Timmy still alternating being brilliant/smashable with the ball.

[Damo]

@hydro11 I must admit that I haven't seen much from Bruce to think he is the answer at number 4.

Taylor to 4, CDG to 5 and ??? to 6.

It's like some of you guys have never watched the black caps before
