<p>So what are peoples opinions on Henry Nicholls? One 50 which was a bit streaky and 3 failures. Does he get another shot in the next test series behind Williamson and Taylor at 5 or do we try someone else?</p>

<p>I reckon his technique is suspect but you have to keep picking him for a little bit.</p> -

<p>Oh ya big meanie!!!</p> -
The LBW that Kane successfully reviewed was a very poor decision. Bat involved and outside the line of off stump. The umpire should not be giving it out unless he is sure.<br><br>
Now Aus waste their review on an LBW that Corey inside edged onto his pads. Phew.<br><br>
Some very testing bowling in amoungst all of that though. -
And now Marsh drops Corey. NTA will be calling for his head.

<p>They had Aus 8- 2 in Wellington and 21-1 here.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The fact that the NZ tail has scored well in both of NZ's first innings (our No11 Boult got scores of 24 and 14no) suggests that the baking hot sun we have been having in NZ this summer changed the pitches nature after the first session.</p> -
Yeah, we have been outplayed but there's no doubt Aus have had by far the best of the bowling conditions.<br><br>
Put it this way. We win the toss, it's a cloae game. We lose the toss, we likely get pumped. Aus the superior team but losing the toss has badly hurt our chances of getting a win. -
<p>you'd of thought given BMacs ability with the bat, he'd of liked to have bowed out with the bat in his hand, rather than likely spending his last moments as BCs captain in the field, but again, losing the toss took that away from him.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Isnt rain a chance of having a say in this test?</p> -

<p>Well that and the fact that Boult would be a 9 in many teams. We may have given the world Chris Martin but BCs as a whole have always batted well down the order.</p> -

Rain was the forecast last night, but the radar looks mainly clear of rain and just an overcast day ahead. -
<p>ah just the weatherman this morning said there was a chance of rain that might affect the test...but then weathermen and Met Service in NZ are notoriously accurate!</p>
