One of our DRS challenges for LBW was dismissed because the ball pitched outside off (or so I thought the comms said). So why was Latham given out?
You must have made a mistake. For lbw, ball can pitch outside off stump. It cannot pitch outside leg stump.
I didn't think so but I must have. It was off Santner's bowling, can't remember exactly but it definitely pitched outside off

Only 379 to win

@canefan always remember there's actually no provision in the law for "pitching" outside off.
"Hitting" outside the line is the relevant thing, while playing a shot
That must have been it. Hit him outside the line

@Donsteppa Christ - we don't need freak dismissals hastening the demise!

Watling is still there for one half of the '89 partnership. [/straw clutching]

@Donsteppa hasn't actually been impossible to bat out there so far, so being five down is a bit disappointing. If we'd played really well and had more luck we might have been only two or three down.
Ball is likely to play tricks in the final session - I don't think we'll need to set aside time for cricket watching tomorrow!

We are done for sure

So I guess Matt Henry will come in for Lachie, interesting to see if Jeets gets another crack with Blundell in the wings as a wild card? I expect Jeets to get another run based on Stead's habit of playing out of form players longer than he should (Munro at the CWC)

I wish we had Ajaz Patel in the squad - I'd swap him in for Santner. I guess Todd Astle is the option available - and I'd be inclined to give him a crack. Santner is just not an attacking enough option.
Boult in for Lockie.
As a wild option - Astle used to open for Canterbury and he couldn't really do worse than Jeet did in Perth. A nightwatchman opener?!! It's pretty desperate and typical of series against Oz, where our lineup starts to disintegrate.

Night watchman opener is very early 2000s black caps.
Didn't Fleming try a Kyle Mills as a new ball watchman once in South Africa (at Wanderers maybe?)

Kyle Mills could hold a bat, pity about his bowling.....

It's been a while since I have taken much notice of Blundell, but my memory tells me we are kidding ourselves if we can think he can do the job against Aussie. From what I recall he has the typical NZ lack of footwork thing. But maybe I have him confused with someone else...
