Cricket: NZ vs England
-
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 -

Possibly achievableWith no restrictions on ultra defensive fields, more latitude to bowl negatively and the ability to bowl Wagner unchanged at one end 7.5 RPO would be bloody difficult.

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?

Batsman that keeps a bit. I think this is either his 5th or 6th time keeping in first class cricket. England didn't bring out a keeper to back up Buttler, favouring an extra batsman.

Very costly. You can get away with it in the shorter forms but bad keepers inevitably gets found out in the test arena. Dropping guys like Kane (or Kohli, Smith etc) who can just bat for days can cost you the game.

Target = 227 in 23 overs = 9.9 rpoHave redone that calc.
98 overs today.
Run rate is ticking at just over 3
Batting out 75 overs would be pretty comfortable -

@No-Quarter I missed the Pope drop, but I'm guessing it's not as bad as the one that Denly just dropped off Kane.
You'd get abused for dropping that one in tenth grade!

Cricinfo says....So, so village. The worst drop by an England fielder since Mike Gatting on the India tour in 1992-93 (YouTube it...)
So I did.

@Crucial Gatting's is marginally worse - not improved by him glancing up as though "the sun was in my eyes".
I'd imagine The Sun was giving him a big boot in the arse the next day!

You'd need a big boot for his big arse.

Shouldn't have searched youtube.
Here are some even funnier ones..
I don't know what's worse. That fielding or the fact that we clearly got thumped despite probably having to be dismissed about twice for each wicket.
