Currently 77/4. They might need a couple of retrospective reviews to go their way and to lift the run rate.

Foulkes gets dangerman Hope out, very nice catch from Latham who has been tidy.

Blundell isn't set in stone, could we see the test skipper make a late career change and slot in there ?

Hope a big wicket although on their day a few can tee off successfully. Looks though the tron as a nz safe venue may strike again

Shepherd being out for them is a big blow too. Absolute massive hitter. Their backs are a bit against the wall.

[MN5]

Hundred up for the Windies....problem is the seven wickets they've lost.

41 balls since their last boundary. A big total isn't looking too likely.

[MN5]

Windies all out. They did well to get to 161 to be honest.

Shouldn't be too much of an issue but you never quite know with the BCs.

[bayimports]

Well normally I’m the first to never say never but surely we can’t fuck this up

29/2 NZ trying to botch this

[MN5]

It’s ok, we bat deep. Looks like we’ll need to

Do we?

These two,then Santa, then bowlers.

119 for 4 BTW.

25 overs

[booboo]

Ah fuck. My fault. Me and Mrs Boo just walked in from outside.

Dumb, dumb shot by Chapman though.

Could be chasing 400 at this rate

Might not be getting betting tips off you anytime soon.

Fair, although was a fast start, but over within a few seconds.., sound familiar

1st Test only squad has been named, no Jamieson or O'Rourke

Tom Latham (c), Tom Blundell, Michael Bracewell, Devon Conway, Jacob Duffy, Zak Foulkes, Matt Henry, Daryl Mitchell, Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Santner, Nathan Smith, Blair Tickner, Kane Williamson, Will Young

[Cyclops]

Phillips misses out but was specifically noted as someone who might get called up for the later tests.

[Cyclops]

Pretty conservative selection.

Starting XI something like:
Latham
Conway
Williamson
Ravindra
Mitchell (Young if not fit)
Blundell
Santner
Smith
Foulkes
Henry
Duffy

Poorly selected team.
Blundel,Smith,Bracewell not test players Young needs to get out of the bad habits he taken up again or he will not score many runs.Conway I like as a player but he has some technical problems that will find him out at this level.
Put this team out against a better test team and we are going to struggle.

yeah i think that looks about right
We are blessed/lucky to have some pretty good depth bowling wise

Jamieson bowled 26 overs during the ODI series, feels like they are being over cautious or know something they havent let on. Why not just give him a test and manage his work load?

[Virgil]

In saying that happy to see Henry, Faulkes and Duffy picked
Duffy impresses me, has genuine pace and Faulkes with his swing offers something different

Smith on the other hand..
