Black Caps v Sri Lanka Test Series
-
What sort of target do we think we should set?
There are 5 sessions remaining. We are 179 behind with some number of wickets remaining. We are also 1 down in a 2 match series so we can afford to take some risks in pursuit of outcome..
I think aim should be to bat sensibly through to drinks in morning session tomorrow and assess run rate from there.

If Mitch would've scored these runs in the first match, we'd have won.
Good on him for earning some redemption, but Matt Henry has to take his place.
It's like Danny Morrison's last stand!

If he hadn’t sucked arse as a test bowler we might have kept them under 450.
Mitch needs to go.
Jason Gillespie got a double ton in his last test match

I think Southee, Santner and the coach should go permanently.
Southee has been great but he's done enough now.
Need fresh blood and new enthusiasm.

I assume Southee is hanging around trying to get to 400 test wickets?

If Santner gets a double ton I would give him another game.

only 150 to go, with one partner right?

If we’d batted like this in the first innings and bowled a shitload better we’d be on top
jesus fuck, this sounds like 'if Scarlett Johanssen something something'. If my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle (until the trans activists showed up).
reality is we're limited. We need a few things to go our way. Santner is currently looking like Bradman V1.1 after a shedload of shitty innings. Fucked it I know, I've been on the garage projet, but I think we're going to get smoked in India.

Santner's innings also puts Conway's 'return to form' into some perspective.
Easy to score runs when the result is a foregone conclusion.

Yep, much of the second innings batting card has a vibe of aiming to score quick runs before they inevitably misread one.

Off the tap ?
Sorry back to the cricket.
What changes will Stead make given he has a squad of only 15.
I’ve already picked my team, anyone else want to have a crack ?
-
Probably good news. Latham will be a relatively passive captain from what it has looked like in the past, but Southee is far from an automatic selection now.
-
Southee said himself that he didn't expect to play every test this year. Stead needs to grow some balls.
