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

Boult not much better, maybe it's time to retire.

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?

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.

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.

[Canes4life]

@nzzp Sears not far behind.

[MN5]

Young needs to continue where he left off vs SA

Not sure promoting himself was a good idea, hasn't worked out too well so far. Phillips is the best batter remaining, should have given him as many balls as possible, he probably should have opened.

@LABCAT we are in trouble now. Technically 3 down for f all.
