Nicholls batting well just need someone to stay at the other end.

[Rapido]

Jeezus. Wtf.

[Chris]

We have not batted smart at all.
Gifting our wkts away.

[Damo]

That was just a cockup. Nicholls clearly didn't realise there was a man there.

[Donsteppa]

Another leaving it for someone else to do something effort from the Black Caps...

[rotated]

Massive opportunity here for Blundell.

And Mitchell.

[KiwiMurph]

This feels like what the expectation was for how the first test would go.

[Chris]

Fuck me Blundel crazy shit.

To show why he shouldn't be batting where CdG is.

Blundell auditioning for the ACC commentary team…

Or not leaving the ball and getting bowled that was embarrassing.

[get stuffed]

This clusterfuck reminds me of our poor batting in that 1st test against the Banglas.

[Chris]

Brilliant 50 from CDG

[get stuffed]

Outstanding job from dG & Mitchell so far... was smart controlled aggression from dG making sure a lot of his shots were played along the deck.

Day 2 - NZ trail by 207 runs.
NZ : 157/5 (45)

yeah make or break session.

Did Mitchell do a winter at the Shane Watson School of DRS while he was in Australia?

[canefan]

Very happy for CdG. I thought he was done, but he has shown impressive application trying to bail the top order out. Hugely important 100. He needs to go on now
