Was an Off cutter came out the side

Completely stuffed up the bowling rotations. In what universe do you have Southee closing out the innings with 4 straight overs in these conditions.
Our boys look weary.
@ACT-Crusader Lockie injured his leg and couldn't bowl his last couple.

Fuck me... I was sure they were going to put on 430... and I was feeling comfortable with going to bed.
Under 400... I've got some false hope. But... drank ALL the beer during that 1st innings.
Have a 9am meeting.
Not sure I should start on the red wine hoping for a short NZ innings... only for them to give it a red hot go... -

If I'm reading the scorecard right ... Gill carried his bat and only faced 66 balls?
Retired hurt from cramp

And then came back.
I'm just imagining all the coaches watching that, and pondering the possibilities... -

I didn't want to mention a particular country, or any slightly different views on "gamesmanship" vs "values-of-the-game" vs "playing-to-the-rules" vs "playing-the-ref"... as it might seem like sour grapes considering recent results in other sports...
... but yeah, you can see somebody named something like "Rassie" becoming a consultant for a cricket team, playing in hot conditions, and suggesting that maybe some players get a little "cramp-y" at strategic times. -
Fuck it. I'm calling it. We can't score 400, we've got no chance, I'm going to bed.
It's a lost cause - just like all the commentators say. Guaranteed result for India. They batted us out of the game.
Absolutely no chance that we'll pull out 1 fucking huge effort, a couple of supporting centuries, and a lower-order cameo to help finish it off.
Not a fucking chance. Even David Beckham says so. -
Bumrah rattled with 3 wides in that over.
We got this

Need a bit more momentum, already behind the required rate.
The ball is moving so we just need to pick off the odd bad ball and keep wickets in hand.

Shami gets Conway with his first ball.
Conway just reaching to a wide one and no foot movement. Ugly
