An absolute half track pie bowls Blundell after pressure earlier in the over
Opportunity lost for Blundell. And so the collapse begins....

O Ye of little faith!!!!
Given this is the last day of my holidays and I’ve done three hours work in the garden this morning I’m ready (and allowed justifiably so) to settle in and watch the BCs step up and bat out a solid day!!!!👍
Are we still only one down 🙏

🤓Yes, somewhat surprisingly Raval has now hit double figures.
-
Not a great review, looked plumb live.
-
Raval loses an LBW challenge and goes for 31.
Need Rossco & Latham to put on a big partnership here.
-
FFS, Latham now spoons one to mid on.
That right here is the difference between the 2 sides, they don’t give their wickets away like that, and they don’t lose wickets back to back, especially not both set batsmen.
We’re in a world of hurt all of a sudden.
-
Cummins has the ball touch him while his hands are over the boundary, but no problem.
More inattentive umpiring
-
A bit of luck for Phillips, Lyon has put down a pretty easy c & b and cut his hand/finger in the process.
Please, please please let it affect his bowling because he’s looking bloody dangerous.
-
Laws clearly state, no bandaging or tape on bowling hand. Will the sportsmanship team NZ let him tape it?
I fkn hope not!

We are too generous.
Chance to get him out of the game or at the very least to make him take it off so its harder for him, but no.
-
It shouldn't be up to us. It's either allowed or it's not. Umpires should make the call.
-
If we can’t put 300 up on this surface, then I think we know where this team is at.
NB: Auckland has turned this weird dull orange. Sun behind clouds with fire particles you presume.

No. Not every game of cricket is played with professional umpires. Having a clear ruling on taped up bowling hands is far more effective.
Much more logical to give the receivers of a taped up hand deciding it's use.
Don't likeit? tough, take the bandage off then -
Would have liked Raval and Latham to press on a while longer, do not like when we lose multiple wickets in a short amount of time. Add to that, Phillips was bloody lucky not to be the third. But we got a solid start, at least. I'm liking Blundell in the opener role.
I have very high expectations of NZA. 300 runs on the board at least.
-
This looks like our type of pitch. Got to think we can make runs here....got to.

What would Aus do? It's not allowed, so tell him to take it off. It is effectively cheating - again.

@kev same here just south of Whangarei
Half way between, and the same. It is like a high level smog that is changing the light and it is starting to smell a bit smokey in a sort of drizzle. Not normal.
-
I keep walking away and coming back to check the score...hoping for that big partnership....just watched BJ get out to chopped on...could say no luck but we aren’t making our own luck. 300 looks a long way away.
-
CDG is the man for the occasion.
Be good to see him score a swashbuckling century and have Aussie batting before lunch tomorrow under pressure.
-

@Snowy @kev it has a very eeiry feeling about it doesn’t it.
Been living this for a while now......
It is what it is......A bit like the NZ Cricket Team🤓

I'm watching Smithy on a pisstake show called The Professors Night Watchman. And he's killing it. Just a genuine, funny bloke.
Saw that too. Best thing that’s happened on this tour...
-
When do some questions start getting asked about Peter Fulton as a batting coach?
-
Who'd have thought it'd be mainly our senior batsmen who'd be so collectively poor this entire series...
-
CdG: another Black Caps batting clown. FFS!!!
-
FFS Colin!!!
-
Geeze. He was looking comfortable too.
-
There probably was 2 there if Colin wasn't Michael Collins between the wickets...
-
Yeah - though with a direct hit and he would have been metres out.
Just gifting them his wicket, though, when we're fighting for credibility!

These fuckers have been carrying on like that all series
-
@canefan I'm giving the batsmen a bit of benefit of the doubt, that this bowling has probably been relentlessly the best they've ever seen. But, there have been some soft dismissals and that was probably the softest.
Pattinson oversteps and Phillips has at least his third life.
-
200 up (200/6).
-
Second session has just finished, off to tea at 210/6.
-
@Godder got them right where we want them!
-
@taniwharugby Lulled them right into a false sense of security!
-
Change of strategy.
Eek out another 100 runs in this session. Then roll Aussie for 150 before tea tomorrow. Knock off the 300 required with big centuries to the openers.
The path to victory is clear enough.
-
50 and out on debut for Phillips.
