Blackcaps v Sri Lanka
-
Can any locals give us an update on the weather down there please ?
Fucken hate it when rain delays cricket……I don’t mind it if it saves our asses though.
So being ever the optimist with a couple of tried and proven players at the crease I’m hating it right now.

it's screwing Sri Lanka. Our chance to win was to bat enough overs today - if the overs drop we'll defend, and rolling a side in a couple of sessions looks unlikely here.
Pity, would have been a damn good day of test cricket! Christchurch is ususally so dry as well, unlucky

Cricinfo is always full of comments about "why aren't they scoring at 5 an over" as if teams can just decide on whatever scoring rate they want. Plenty of fast scoring players lower down if they can keep wickets in hand

Not everyone can be cricket experts like us on the fern though

Especially coming out after a rain delay when the conditions are uncertain and can change quickly.
This is basically going to be a double session today, almost 4 hours. Will be interesting to see whether than benefits the batters or bowlers more.

Batters surely - get in rythmn, and harder for the fielding side to respond to pressure with no real breaks.

That was my first thought, but also means that they have to stay focused for longer too so maybe more chances of a mental error.

but not broken by 20 or 40 minute intervals and having to restart.
Latham gone; spinner bowled well. Scoring fast in Test cricket is hard!

@nzzp unless you're a tail ender who just doesn't care about good or bad deliveries and takes a consistent slog approach!
Chance for some Nicholls redemption? ...just not possible surely?

Well I’m certainly liking his strike rate so far, KW is channeling his inner Boycott at the other end
