Gees, Jamieson has been a real find. Takes wickets, good average too. Nice and accurate. Now I want to see him and Wags bowling in tandem.
With Tim, Boult, Wags and Kylo that is a strong 4 prong pace attack. Add CdG and that is a group that will challenge any batting lineup

Scary to think if Wags had played Kyle would have been carrying the drinks and they still would have gone with Patel...

Sliding door moment right there. I think he would have got a chance but who knows when that might have been. And Blundell gets off the mark after facing 18 deliveries. Good stuff

From ODI series he can bat a bit too. Looks like a natural cricketer.
Who's spot is in trouble if Wags is fit? Boult or Southee?

In NZ they don't need a spinner with that 5. CDG can play the holding role. In Kylo we have a purpose built replacement when Timmy hangs it up. Henry and Ferg just dropped down the pecking order. Real depth is an unfamiliar problem to have for us

@canefan If they decide to play a spinner, who misses out?
Scrub that, my page hadn't updated.
Might be Timmy.
If I was picking it would be Timmy. When there is no assistance he's not fast enough and doesn't seem to pose enough of a threat. But sometimes he can be brilliant, he just got 4 to Trent's 1 in the first innings, so its horses for courses. Wags has to play because someone has to make something of the old ball and toil in poor conditions

Sky coverage is patchy due to heavy rain at our house. Most frustrating
I ditched decoder Sky and signed up for Sky Sport Now, their streaming service. Working well so far, $40 per month on the 12 month contract. We found we weren't watching any of the other channels at all so couldn't justify paying for it. No more rain fade 🙂 just have to hope the Internet doesn't go down at a bad time. Fibre is pretty solid though.

Game is fairly evenly poised after Kane and Rosco got out. Pitch is getting flatter so India will back themselves to set us a good target, then we have all the pressure that comes with batting last.

Nicholls gone and India edge ahead

India could bowl us out without conceding another run and we'd still be ahead. These wickets are damage control and probably a good sign that there's still life in the wicket.

Disagree completely, if you bowl first you need a 100 run lead to be even stevens IMO. Batting last is incredibly difficult, chasing anything over 250 is very tricky to navigate. We need another 100 runs tomorrow minimum.

Mrs CF likes E channel and all that bollox, and CF Jnr likes animal planet and Nickelodeon so we will keep it all.

Basin just flattens out though. I'm not convinced batting 4th is much different to batting 3rd. There might be more mental pressure to chase a target after having a first innings lead. I don't think the conditions will be tough though.

Fair point, bowling first is definitely more justified at the Basin than most grounds, and we made the most of the conditions to put ourselves on the front foot.
But as a traumatised Black Caps fan chasing anything more than 150 will have me hiding behind the couch.
