Taylor about as useful Williamson this series, a terrible time for them both to have a very poor series
After both finishing not out 100 to finish the English series too. So fucking cruel to Black Caps fans.
It's back to the Black Craps
Kind of. In the past we've built up our expectations based on absolutely nothing but fantasies in our heads.
But this time our expectations were not mis-placed, we've been genuinely excellent the last few years and we'd just put away England easily with our big guns playing well. We had every right to go into this series talking a big game, and holy shit what a fall from grace it has been.

The way our batsmen in particular have rolled over has been galling

@Damo The TAB odds on us winning have come in from $56 earlier this morning to $41 - so you've obviously hit it hard!
Those three wickets have evened things up again.
I think even the most optimistic supporter would have to say that Aus are probably favourites now.

Bit premature lads.
This game still has 5 sessions to play. Let's wait until the end before we rush to hasty judgement.

Well they're unlikely to score another ~410 runs in those five sessions are they?

That Coromandel green is some good shit ey?
Is there a village cricket green in the Coromandel? I shall have to check it out next time I am over that way.
Meanwhile we've batted the sole wicket taker out of the attack and just scored a convincing 15 off an over from their first change bowler.

I'm not saying that they will or they won't.
I do think that if these two are still batting at drinks in the middle session tomorrow, that will be the time to assess the required run rate.
Nobody is going to disagree with that assessment are they?

Indeed. And if Monica Bellucci was to walk down my driveway in her underwear, that would be the time to assess my fidelity.
Both are equally likely to happen

I doubt either are likely, but the batsmen still being there tomorrow is the more likely of the two.

Finally something of interest in this thread.

I think that is where the issue lies.
Or one of these two and Watling.
Obviously.

Or Southee is going to bat time, and Boult with a broken finger will bat for the rest of today and all day tomorrow. I'm leaving Wags out of it because he deserves that.
So compared to any of the scenarios I'd actually back the odds of Monica being in Cairns and getting a bit hot, hence removing most of her clothes and then needing to borrow a phone and walking down @mariner4life 's driveway having eaten a dozen oysters and wanting a bit.

Monica might well be in Cairns, and I accept it's probably warm in Cairns and so needs to dress lightly. Where I depart company is the idea that in all of the houses in Cairns she'd be outside @mariner4life 's driveway. I don't think that's at all realistic.
No offence but I think you are starting to lose a bit of credibility now with your posting in this thread.

Isa and Warne discussing the DRS and Kane getting sawn off by Erasmus.
They make good points about the umpire's call, especially when the umpire doesn't give benefit of doubt to batsmen. The DRS system either has to be trusted or not. This half arsed stuff is weird.

The Kane one just enabled a bad decision to stand. No way should a ball which is predicted to only barely touch a stump be given out.
