Jeez that Conway one looked like it was swinging down leg. I thought it might have been 'umpire's call' but 'hitting'?
I don't think it was going that far. Good call from the umpire. They have had a good game from what I've seen.
So, where are we now in the miracle stakes? Only need 150 from CDG, and a lazy 100 from Southee, and we're home.
Probably need these two to be there at tea. 140 to get in the final session with 5 down sounds like the game plan.
Jamieson is due a few runs frankly or he might be looking over his shoulder.
too soon!
Blundell out - just doesn't execut a pull.
Time for CDG and Southee to work their magic. Come on the hitting!
I think time for a change of strategy. Let's knock off the bulk of the runs this session and leave 80-90 for the final session.
Quick 120 from CDG and support from the rest and the path to victory is clear.
we're not quite at the 'a couple of hat tricks and we're right back in this' but we're not far away.

I think it’s extremely safe to assume we’re fucked from here on in
I am beginning to see a path whereby we may not chase these runs down.
Depends if Southee gets a hundred or not

then we only need another 130 from the other batters.

Why do we persist with Southee up the order? In this team he should be the 11
to be fair for the first time in years he did wait for at least 3 overs before reverting to attack and only after big Kyle also gave up defending

here comes the rain
-
wow..tea called early and covers on....but they dont think much rain unfortunately
-
-
Not batting like a team who think there's much possibility that stumps could be 2 hours earlier, or an hour earlier, than expected.
Probably won't be. But could have been a possibility of a 5 o clock finish due to rain and light etc, if they had showed some starch and weren't 9 down already, who knows.
Certainly don't deserve it anyway.
They don't like facing Jansen from 8 through to jack.

Weak effort from a number of players

Another five day effort phoned in under Stead and Latham.
Stead needs to go ASAP, he's completely bereft of any fresh ideas or innovation, woeful tactically, and his selections are reliably safe and conservative. He's a stale out of touch boomer who's possibly the most uninteresting individual and least inspirational coach you could find in NZ. Mike Hesson did a much better job with considerably less experienced and far weaker squads with a lot less depth within NZ cricket at the time.
