Fleming is better than McCullum probably due to the fact he's a lot further removed from this team.

McCullum would have played with almost all of this team.

Wasn't he batting coach not so long ago?

And he just mentions that he was and worked with Kane etc

Fleming?

[Godder]

Kane out for 238.

Such a pleasure to watch him bat - I'm still gutted I don't have footage of his maiden test 100 - only one I don't have on file

Williams is simply an unbelievable batsman, outstanding.
But why are they not declaring? There is rain forecast throughout the next 2 days, it seems crazy???

My guess is they will declare at tea to avoid the innings break taking any time.

@Godder but how late can they actually play to?

Apparently to 18:57 tonight.

599 for 6
Lead 302

You'd think they'd declare.

I thought tomorrow looked clear(ish) but showers forecast for Day 5.

I’d keep batting.

Last session is due to continue till 19:30 unless my eyes deceived me

[Crazy Horse]

@ACT-Crusader you called it. NZ are still batting by the looks.

Thought the broadcast said 18:57 + the optional 30?

Or not

[Stag]

Bizarre decision not to declare at tea. Will it come back to bite them?

[ACT Crusader]

Mitchell to get a ton

[booboo]

3rd bouncer = no ball = not out

Then same bloke drops Mitch ...

Not that bizzare. Making the openers come out to field to then only have 10 minutes turnaround to bat is a decent reason.
