@booboo Actually, I think its only me. It hasn't really caught on, turns out I'm not much of an influencer...

This Zimbabwean bloke is overstepping by a fucking mile. Not like the umpires don't have time to watch the whole delivery at that pace.

Do your fucking job

They're you go Wade you fucking idiot. Have a go like Starc

Headache. Stitches in my back are infected. Smoke back in Sydney today. Got the the shits with life in general.

Nothing a 350 run win tonight won't cure...

Right, time for no careless shots from the top order this time.

@Donsteppa yep, I don't expect us to come close to saving this game, but it would be nice to make Australia actually force 10 wickets.

voodoo

Yes! Only 463 more runs needed!

Starc is a mouthy prick isn't he

Have to fight Wagner for that title

Who would be the next option to open if Raval is dropped?

Foster?

Donsteppa

For a career that started so promisingly, Raval’s recent few scores are almost Chris Martin like.

I wonder if Blundell can open... am resisting saying Watling should move up the order, but it may be worth some thought if Raval’s form continues...

Chris B.

Tom Blundell is the only other batsman in the squad - but, they might push Nicholls up to open.

I'm not sure they should drop Jeet - not so much because I think he'll come right - but, because we might fuck up someone who will otherwise prove useful.

One of my theories is that we should pretty much ignore results against Australia when it comes to selecting the Black Caps, because over the years they've got rid of some decent NZ players who've been replaced by lesser players for easier series.

BJ would be the other option to open (assuming that they wouldn't just decide to start with Kane). In which case, Blundell could take the gloves - at least some of the time.

Seems like a long time since BJ's been an opening batsman though.

Damo

Big double century from Kane would be good here. With that we'll only need support from Taylor/Nicholls/Watling/CDG to do it in a canter.

Chris B.

@Damo Nice work!
