@MN5 Very prophetic, as he strikes next ball!
I know my Cricket. Anyone on here will vouch for that.
And fashion tips, I'm enjoying your cricket fashion tips. Probably helps that I can't see anything.
Between Wagner and Raes efforts Wellington is fast becoming the Milan of the southern hemisphere.
Roston Chase averages 12.6 in NZ. Hopefully the BCs realise this and take full advantage. Not exactly batting by example while here.

Rae get his first test wicket, Campbell caught at first slip by Son of Mitch
Brilliant. Nice comeback after some rubbish early on.
That puts NZ in charge I reckon.
Michael Rae has cult hero written all over him with the chrome dome/headband/beard combo.
Sounds like a bowling version of Mitch Jr
If he wore a headband they'd be inseparable.
Speaking of bowling, in the little player profile thing at the start Ravindra, Mitch Jr, Phillips and Foulkes were all listed as "all rounders"
Some fit the bill better than others. I don't remember the last time son of John actually bowled. Far too busy being one of the best batsmen in the world.
It's part of what made the first test so crazy, not only losing 2 front line seamers, but also Mitchell not being available to pick up some of the slack. He'd have bowled a ton of overs.

Would have got a wicket or two as well I bet

Speaking of that as the commentators have alluded to there wasn't much of a break for Duffy and Foulkes. They might be feeling it. Batting first to give them an extra day or two might have been more sensible.

Tickner with 4 now, really making the most of this opportunity to claim his spot.
I also saw that our leading wicket takers in this team are Glenn Phillips and Kane Williamson. This reminds of the days when Vettori would have more centuries than the top 5 combined.
-
Rae and Tickner have done a great job toiling away to keep wickets coming at regular intervals. We really need to keep them below 250 after stupidly bowling first.

Isn’t cricket a funny game.
Roach was immovable for fucking hours the other day, gone for a second ball duck today.
Looks like we’re a good chance of having a bat tonight
Cricket is a fluffybunny of a game. With his record and going by how he went with the bat last innings you could pretty much bet the house on Roach getting fuck all this dig.
The others don't inspire much batting confidence but I did think that last test so we'll see.

Makes our inability to roll them for the win even more frustrating

Tickner goooone. Just can't catch a break with our bowlers at the moment

Flat cap and dinner jacket in the crowd.... you there @MN5 ?
Bit hot for the dinner jacket in this sweltering heat. I’d also be wearing a straw hat instead of the cheese cutter for optimal neck protection on my pasty Scottish skin.
Sounds like you saw Craig McMillan
