Black Caps v Australia

MN5

Is Ravindra injured? Seems an odd choice to replace him.

Milne really does seem quite average, not sure why we keep picking him. Boylt not much better, maybe it's time to retire.

Ridiculous total coming up.

Too many pies and wides.

Not sure I’m a fan of Sears bowling action. Looks like an injury waiting to happen

MN5

Fuck me, Marsh dropped again ! Tougher chance….but still

MN5

…..and catch taken next ball. Maxwell gone

Damo

What is wrong with our fielding at the moment? It's been good for so long and now it's substandard

Still a great fielder!

Wickets the key here. Only way we've got a chance to restrict them to a gettable total.

What is a gettable total? Anything less than 230?

I would say 220-230 is par, I think it would be possible to chase down 250 if the batters get in the zone.

Australia going too hard, too soon?

MN5

Someone’s been reading the fern. The catching has improved out of sight

Cyclops

Is this surface a bit tough to judge the pace on? Lots of mishits toady. Could also be going too hard because of the hype about the short boundaries too. Be interesting to see what it's like when we bat.

Damo

Bad stuff to have a fielding no ball. Really amateur stuff that.

Duluth

Possession swapped around 68/32 Chiefs in first half. 60/40 Crusaders this half

Is there rugby on?

But it's summer.

Ferguson most definitely the pick of the bowlers!

Virgil

Considering we were staring down the barrel of 250 that’s some come back by the bowlers

4/12. MOTM probably

Virgil

We are a batsman down, need the rest to step up

NTA

Not enough runs. NZ easy win

Canes4life

A good knock by Santner will go a long way to helping us win this.
