@bovidae oh to be in the room when mariner hears DeGrandholme's playing and Wags is not
After being destroyed in the second test are we somehow in a position to rest players???
-
Terrible ball to get first up with no bounce. But that gap between bat and pad doesn't help!
-
Given how shit CdG has been with the bat we are effectively playing 5 specialist bowlers. Not sure that's the right approach if we keep getting knocked over so cheaply.
-
@donsteppa I wondered about that. Chase the 20 wickets and use rotation to counter the huge innings and partnerships seen in the last test.
Bank on 2 big innings from the top 4
But whichever way you dice it, it's a bit grim with Southee at 7
-
@siam Haven't double checked it, but I read a comment while checking the score earlier suggesting both Wagner and Sodhi have troubled the scorers more in this series than CdG.
So let's hope he's due
@donsteppa They have - and so has Patel.
Though to be fair those three have aggregated 26, 22 and 21 runs to Colin's 17, so it's not like any of them have done much better than a random Fern member taking some dirty swipes!

Raval goes lbw and then Rossco is bowled first ball....and we are officially in the shit!

His grasp on second best BC batsman in history is looking tenuous....

150 up and Kane has half of it.

229/7. Not ideal at all, but in the subcontinent chasing anything over 150 in the last innings can be dicy. So, we need our tail to Wagner, and then roll them cheaply. Kind of like every BC test I ever watch.

The comms suggested that 250 should be plenty on that surface. It is the craps we are talking about though. We were coasting then things got ugly in the last session as the ball started to dance around everywhere

Colin's 6 to get off the mark was ridiculous. Basically a short armed loft off a spinner that went miles.
I watched a bit, couldn't believe when Kane got himself out, at that point he honestly looked like he could play the bowling with his cock, and then bang, chips out.
