Black Caps v Australia

[Cyclops]

Phillips looking good. Needs Henry to tighten it up and the pressure will start to build, but while they're scoring freely at the other end they won't be too worried about just blocking Phillips out.

We are going to lose this. It was the hope that killed us

[mariner4life]

140-run partnership at 5 an over, this has been very fucking good by Australia. 80/5, still needing 200, and this is what they do? The belief in their ability is unreal

[nzzp]

Far out
Sears baby. Too late, but suddenly the bowlers are under pressure

[mariner4life]

great knock

need another almost straight away.

On the bright side noticable improvement from the Black Caps.

We went from loosing the game due to a 100 run partnership for the 10th wicket to loosing the game due to a 100 run partnership for the 6th wicket...

Or is that actually getting worse?

[mariner4life]

yeah fuck like that

[nzzp]

Aus just blew out from $1.09 to $1.44

Come on!

[nzzp]

far out and now TAB has us as favourites!

[Windows97]

If Carey is there at the end they win

[Windows97]

Gee it's a tough watch, hiding behind the couch while you're at work is largly frowned upon here.

[KiwiMurph]

Sears has had a fine debut - 147k is bloody good pace

[Godder]

@mariner4life we'll keep you on

[nzzp]

this is a hard watch. There is no tension like Test Cricket done well

[KiwiMurph]

Time to get Henry back on - Sears starting to spray them

[Bovidae]

Sears is trying too hard and losing his line.

[Donsteppa]

ABS - anyone but Southee.

[KiwiMurph]

Class from Carey.

The difference is Blundell has offered nothing with the bat

[Donsteppa]

I should probably check his stats, but Blundell does feel like a modern day Matthew Sinclair. Either scores big or does little.

in fairness, Carey hadn't either until today.
