There's only been one test match at new Perth Stadium, and the pitch was a 'shocker' said the batting mafia. Not a road. Cracker of a test match. Paine gutsing it out v Bumrah on a pitch with dodgy bounce.
No idea what it will do this time though, 2 years young, no history, plus it is a drop-in.

Bat two days, there is no way you should lose from there. Would take a miracle
How are you feeling about that now?
There was a test in NZ quite recently that is starting to look quite similar (unfortunately it is the other way around).

Looking back, we only batted for four sessions. But that said, I'm pretty relaxed. Draw or England win only two options now.

sigh, ...ye olde NZ collapse looking imminent

I think we're actually too good to have one of those "ye olde" style NZ collapses.
We can still collapse - but we probably have to be a bit blasted out. Latham, Williamson, Taylor, Nicholls, Watling are collectively too good to all fall apart and throw their wickets away on a flattish pitch.
If the Australians put us in on a lively pitch and unleash Starc, Hazlewood and Cummins we might easily get blasted out.

So Engerland lose their last 5 wickets for 22 runs.
Thank you @booboo that worked rather well.
Best that you don't get out of bed until stumps though.

Wasn't asleep but hadn't been checking score updates. Seemed to work.

I would like to think so too Chris, but earlier I suggested Jeet could stick around and the reverse happened ha ha, so I will stick to collapse tomorrow for now

Poms'll have to roll us in about less than 50 overs tomorrow to win.
If they do, all credit to them and we'll have to sing Led Zepps "Nobody's fault but mine" all the way to Perth.
Up to our best in Kane and Ross to complete the series win by batting the entire 1st session ( he types jinxingly!)

Crunched some numbers and I reckon we have to bat to midway of the last session to be safe.
75 overs at 2.5rpo = 187
Plus 76 on the board
Less 101 deficit
Target = 163 in 15 overs = 10.9 rpo
Would think that's safe.70 overs at 2.5 = Target of 150 @ 7.5
Possibly achievable -

True. But it is conceivable.
Only a few overs and runs each way and it gets considerably easier/harder.
I've also just realised I didn't take the 3 overs for change of innings out. Although that doesn't happen if it coincides with tea break I think.

Possibly achievableWe have 96 on the board not 76 so that wipes out a few extra overs, but play will start early so there will be more than 90 overs required. (ignoring the weather forecast that others have noted).

Effectively 12/2. A very retro Black Caps scoreline with R A Ndom and M S Cellaneous 90's Black Caps openers back in the pavilion.
Handy of Pope to drop Williamson.

That was such a bad drop. I get people make mistakes, but his whole technique was terrible - poor body position, moved late, hands in the wrong position. Is he an actual keeper or a batsmen that keeps a bit?
