Black Caps v Australia

MN5

nah, it's just taken the NZ Win off the table.

Draw this one, go to CHC, burgle it - and get the 1-0 victory. ANything but 2-0 is a loss for Australia to be frank ... so many WTC points riding on these 2 test series.

Southee's had to go for a while, but they made him Captain. WOR has bowled way better; we needed to be investing in others before today. I am quite frustrated at NZ Cricket right now

Is Southee being retained for his ‘experience’ on top of being captain ?

With Wags, Boult and KJ all gone for various reasons that seems the only logical explanation to me.

No Quarter

Man we are missing Kyle

Well, now we're just taking time out of the test. I loved our bowling economy yesterday - runs were hard to come by.

Only got to bat two days right?

No Quarter

Henry our best by a mile, well deserved 5

Didn't make 400. Fail.

Hopefully this means the pitch is a road.

McGrath and Gillespie is still way more embarrassing but that was absolutely putrid this morning.

I'll be astounded if we score 500 runs total, so Aus only need 120 more to win

we'll get there. I'm quietly confident.

Kane 100x2
Dazz a lazy hundy
and then you only need 200 runs from 16 innings.

Simple!

Three overs completed without losing a wicket.

Advantage: New Zealand.

That won't help

Minnow Basher Latham to the fore once again...

Duluth

NTA

Neither will that

These guys keep managing that sort of utter idiocy this summer, in a way that even our local Juniors don't...

No Quarter

Well Young needs a fucking big ton now if he wants to be able to look the GOAT in the eye when he gets back to the shed.

nzzp

Damn.

NTA

Or that

Donsteppa

Looks like Kane will be batting again tonight though.

No Quarter

Ahh, this is bringing back memories

You've forgotten our inability to remove anyone batting below 8
