Black Caps v Australia
-
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.

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

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.

It’s actually bordering on unbelievable the complete lack of mental fortitude the Black Caps have when it comes to playing Australia…
Matt Henry and Glenn Phillips can hold their heads up.
But yeah, your point still stands.

@Donsteppa Had to review as the last specialist batsman, I think. If an opener was as plumb as that it would be a dumb review, but in this situation no point saving three reviews in case Southee and O'Rourke need them.
