Black Caps v Australia

That drop by Rachin of Marsh is proving costly now. Marsh is set

We used to be so good in the field. Another thing to lay at Stead's door

this is the quote of the day from Reddit
Happiness is like an ice cream and Australia is like the Turkish ice cream seller that pretends to give you the ice cream but pulls it away right when you were about to experience the ice cream

Yep. Could be the test I think

No long suffering Kiwi cricket fans.

Stop trying to steal our reverse psychology.

You're the perennial favourites. It's not allowed!

Might as well roll the dice and give Phillips a go

Anyone who understands cricket, Australian Cricket, or NZ cricket, knew this was at best evens at the start of the day

Especially because Mitch Marsh is there, who is statistically the best Aus batsman of the past 12 months and who scores at a good clip
Carey is playing for his spot as well.

Cummins and Starc have proven their ability to score, and Lyon to hang around to let others score. We don't have enough runs.

@mariner4life I reckon it would be enough runs if we had a proper attack but 2024 Southee and Scotty K are both not up to it.

lol better than a run a ball now, hammering home

Reading Cricinfo, Carey sounds like he's edging every second boundary.

Watching the game these two are doing it very easy.

sport is a results based industry. how doesn't matter, only how many

Feels like they are doing it in a canter. Need Phillips to try his luck before we run out of runs

the series averages are quite telling.

Bugger. Needed that

lol will be over by tea with that run rate..Aus team winners by a long mental margin

We've bowled well in patches but edges haven't gone to fielders or moved too much and evaded the edge. They've cashed in when we haven't bowled well.

I'm still think we should win from here. Australia won that session but our bowling was better than the numbers suggest. Key thing is going to be staying focused, working to our plans and not panicking.

@Cyclops love the optimism

Aus now favourite at TAB. Needs a wicket and soon

Good enough for me. We’ll be fine.
