    We could have sent Ish over for this Test instead of Southee, just to find out how our top five spin bowling options really are, all in one game..

          Worth throwing one of them the ball with the front liners looking little chance of a breakthrough.

          I'm not convinced that Daryl is markedly worse with the ball than Timmy these days, ditto Ravindra for Santner

            @MN5 Better to try then keep persisting with the like of “couldn’t spin a washing machine” Santner.

              Imagine how little the lead would’ve been if we hadn’t crumbled like origami this morning.

                Santner has scored 2 runs and taken no wickets for 92 runs.

                He’s certainly biding his time to make an impact on this match

                          @MN5 Ravindra looked as threatening. Bracewell for Santner, Henry for Southee

                            The former is basically like for like and won’t make a shred of difference.

                            The latter isn’t happening cos he’s captain even though it should

                            Henry should be there somewhere though, fuck having loads of spinners when they’re all shit. O’Rourke has been the pick of the bowlers by such a ridiculous margin it’s not even funny and he’s a pacer

                            Seeing as my positive approach didn’t work maybe it’s time to be more real.

                            VERY hard to see an early breakthrough and this niggly partnership will matter quite a bit in the final wash up. Lots of pressure on O’Rourke for a couple of early ones, if that doesn’t happen we’re fucked given the lack of collective effort by the rest of the bowlers.

                            We still have a very capable top order on paper but again, very reliant on one guy in particular ( with an honourable mention to Johns son )

                            Still game on, I’m being as positive as I can be.

                                  Wow a rest day, very old school! The Sri Lankan players are apparently going back to their homes to vote, which must be a weird experience, and maybe an opportunity for a momentum swing? Although they're well on top now so might not be enough, and as full-time pros they should be able to handle switching off and on.

                                        Five for Patel. Well played sir.
                                        3 for WOR (so far). We're bcak with an outside chance ... will take a hell of a chase though

                                          Patel 7/90 if the review is upheld

                                          Southee's last over went for 8. FFS.
