Black Caps v Australia
-
I don't hate getting through a few overs here. The pitch is going to improve through the day. What we don't want is too many more runs. Ideally we'd reel off 10 or so maidens and then get the last wicket.

Yeah this one didn't age well.

Hey, my prediction of it getting easier to bat has been pretty good!

Kiwi cricketers crumble at the sight of a baggy green cap

nah, it's just taken the NZ Win off the table.
Draw this one, go to CHC, burgle it - and get the 1-0 victory. ANything but 2-0 is a loss for Australia to be frank ... so many WTC points riding on these 2 test series.
Southee's had to go for a while, but they made him Captain. WOR has bowled way better; we needed to be investing in others before today. I am quite frustrated at NZ Cricket right now

I wonder if a team has ever had a worse first session of a day in the 150 years of test history?
9 down over night, 100 for zip next morning. I'd doubt that could be beaten. Would be interesting to see if any have been worse.

Is Southee being retained for his ‘experience’ on top of being captain ?
With Wags, Boult and KJ all gone for various reasons that seems the only logical explanation to me.

Man we are missing Kyle

Henry our best by a mile, well deserved 5

McGrath and Gillespie is still way more embarrassing but that was absolutely putrid this morning.
I'll be astounded if we score 500 runs total, so Aus only need 120 more to win

we'll get there. I'm quietly confident.
Kane 100x2
