    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

                  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.

                                Patel 7/90 if the review is upheld

                                Southee's last over went for 8. FFS.

                                    Great bowling, time for the batsmen to stand up !

                                    Chasing less than 300 is definitely a boost

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

                                      Patel clearly read this and got inspired to tell me to shove it.

                                      Great bowling, time for the batsmen to stand up !

                                      Chasing less than 300 is definitely a boost

                                      @MN5 200sl is good
                                      250 very good

                                      275 is a massive ask

                                        The insipid middle order batting effort in the first innings is coming back to bite...

                                          Conway's decline is depressing.
