Black Caps v Australia

I think it speaks volumes about the quality of NZs spin bowling that the last guy to take a five for at home did so in 2008 ( Daniel Vettori I’m assuming )
Really interested to see how Philips career progresses after this.
Cricket has a long history of guys producing amazing one off fluky performances, I wonder if this is one of them ?

Phillips has bowled well for a little while now.
Before this test he had 11 test wickets in 5 tests at 19.18, with best bowling in an innings of 4/53.
He has a knack of taking wickets.
I understand from listening to the radio commentary guys that he works very hard on his bowling.

Vettori is the obvious guess, but I think the commentators said it was Jeetan Patel.

Phillips was also one of our better performers on the tour to Bangladesh. I think he's earned his spot, hope that he continues to develop is deserving of a promotion to 6 since he's probably a better bat than blundell anyway, and is definitely in better form.

Yeah Blundells two tons in his first three tests seem like an age ago now. He can’t buy a run these days.

Phillips has taken wickets before, so I don’t think he’s a one hit wonder.

I'm starting to believe
Stop that shit right now.
We have no hope.
They will probably tear us apart in the first session and be on the verge of victory by lunch. Once they get through these two the rest of our surrender monkeys will fold

Na, this test will be Phillips in full on Ian Botham 1981 mood. Expect some big hitting.

Are you trying to jinx my reverse jinx on purpose?!

Sorry that wicket was my fault. I flicked over to the cricket and Ravindra out first ball I see. I give up.

That's a terrible review. Just because reviews are left doesn't make them a get out of jail free card...
It really was a review of hope, I think he knew he was out but may as well review, the bowlers aren't going to win this game for us.
Not much longer until the game is over now.
