<p>If the tail can somehow scrap their way through the rest of the day, the lead would be what - about 230-250 something like that?</p>
<p>Could be a tricky chase on day 5 if our bowlers manage to get it right.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That is a couple of very big IF's involved in my moment of optimism.</p>

<p>250 would be incredible.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm not sure how Henry is surviving at the moment (going by cricinfo).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't think the rest will fare much better.</p> -
<p>okay, new plan. At the change in innings, "accidentally" turn the sprinklers on, and just happen not to notice them for 5-10 minutes. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>If the Aussies kick up a stink, just blame the earthquakes, no one is going to be enough of a fluffybunny to call you on that. </p> -

<p>I miss Dilbert!</p> -
<p>I still give us half a chance here. Aussies have a strong top 5 but there are frailties there. Warner is hit and miss, Burns has a suspicious technique, Voges is still unproven against top quality attacks. I think this Aussie team is vulnerable if you can get a few early wickets.</p>

Well done BJ and Henry, 100 partnership up. Now a tea break. Man do we dare believe.......
-
<p>Catch 22. If the conditions are good enough for the NZ tail to push the lead to a competitive total the pitch will be too good for it to be a competitive total.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still credit to NZ showing a bit of fight and making them work for it. I'll take that as a NZ cricket fan.</p> -

<p>Fine and dry tomorrow.</p>
<p>Pitch not breaking up.</p>
<p>No spinner anyway.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Only way NZ wins this is if we set a decent total and Australia push too hard for the win and self-destruct.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>C'mon lads.</p>
