Black Caps v Sri Lanka Test Series
-
I'm not feeling completely contradicted: on that writeup - 'KW, and two guys averaging 40' about to visit Jasprit in home conditions.
Now fractionally rounded to 40 in Conway's case.Mitchell's start to test cricket was the stuff of dreams, but there feels like a regression in the mix. Always had slight CdG vibes of 'how long will this last'.

I hear ya.
There is also the definite prospect of KW declining in a Tendulkar/Dravid/Ponting fashion too…….they all went from late to mid to early 50s in terms of batting averages too.

291 behind, four wickets in hand……..and if they somehow got the 291 then Sri Lanka get another bat.
This is as big a fucken hiding as I’ve ever recalled.
Phillips and Santner may as well have a swing, still an opportunity for Southee to get a century late in his career…………
…….and yeah, may as well pick a team for the next test vs India.
Latham
Young
KW
Ravindra
Mitchell
Blundell
Phillips
Henry
Southee
O’Rourke
PatelDefinitely shuffling the deck chairs a bit but something has to change after this atrocious effort.
I’d drop Southee for Sears but that won’t happen.

What sort of target do we think we should set?
There are 5 sessions remaining. We are 179 behind with some number of wickets remaining. We are also 1 down in a 2 match series so we can afford to take some risks in pursuit of outcome..
I think aim should be to bat sensibly through to drinks in morning session tomorrow and assess run rate from there.

If Mitch would've scored these runs in the first match, we'd have won.
Good on him for earning some redemption, but Matt Henry has to take his place.
It's like Danny Morrison's last stand!
If he hadn’t sucked arse as a test bowler we might have kept them under 450.
Mitch needs to go.
Jason Gillespie got a double ton in his last test match

I think Southee, Santner and the coach should go permanently.
Southee has been great but he's done enough now.
Need fresh blood and new enthusiasm.
I assume Southee is hanging around trying to get to 400 test wickets?

If Santner gets a double ton I would give him another game.
