Wow, I’m genuinely shocked that Martin Guptill who had what I’ve always thought of as a short and unsuccessful test career is sixth !!
It was long and unsuccessful. He was just persisted with because he was good at shorter forms. His average his actually worse than it looks and padded against weaker teams.
Guppy should have played 5 or 6 in tests.

Nice to see Mitchell get a 100 on his home ground
Hagley Oval.Talk about a guy who took his opportunity and ran with it
Yep perfect example of that.

I am happy to be wrong about him. I did not think he would be this successful.

Henry and Wags take a bow

Somehow we have a lead, Henry and Wags show

Henry passed Nicholls as he goes up the tunnel, perhaps he should introduce him to..
Lol get my coat

373 all out, tail wagged entertainingly

Good effort that considering where we were at one stage of the innings.
Great effort from Mitchell,Henry,Wags and Latham. -
@MN5 well Southee opened with a great over, needs unit to back him up though
-
Great effort to get a first innings lead, but not really a big enough one to put us ahead of the game. Unless we absolutely skittle them we'll have a tricky chase, be interesting to see how the pitch holds up on days 4 and 5. Sri Lanka ahead purely because they batted first.

At least there's one Henry in the team that knows how to bat
-
Ish Sodhi and Matt Henry both average more with the bat than Michael Bracewell, so he really needs to take a bag of wickets and bowl tightly to justify his selection.

He needs to be dropped immediately

I agree. There are 4 or 5 better options
