Though it's not clear to me that there's any difference between our top order batsmen and our night watchmen...

Haha, was just thinking that.

Flipside of that is that they could have gotten Latham, Conway etc to send down lots of innocuous pies for the Sri Lankans to rack up a cheeky six hundy for five declared…..

Back to the match…..

66/8. Mitchell ( Daryl, not Santner ) gone.

Debut hundred from Southee would be nice late in his career.

Bugger, falls just 98 runs short.

Am struggling to remember a more utterly worthless and spineless NZ cricket performance in our lifetimes. 1995 v the West Indies was up there.

At least 26 all out was in the days of uncovered pitches.

This match ?

Walsh went ok, shit he is underrated for whatever reason. Fantastic bowler.

My memory of the scores was out, I just remember the second innings being like men v boys.

Donsteppa

Turns out Santner is there as a specialist bat.

Yeah shameful performance at home.

I sat on the bank and Curtly Ambrose did a lap of the ground to thunderous applause from all of us ( he had a lot of time to fuck around and have fun while the Windies were batting to be fair )

All those middle order left handers just took the piss against our attack from memory. The one who actually looked the best that day wasn’t Lara, it was Keith Arthurton, I was always surprised he had such an average career compared to the “Prince”

booboo

Just saw the score.

The.
Fuck.
?

Donsteppa

If the All Blacks do a Wellington tonight, there will be rioting on top of this.

MN5

Santner justifying his spot by more than doubling the next best batsman’s score.

…..and this “fighting” innings will be enough to keep him in the team for the next ten tests at least.

MN5

…….and that’s that.

Sri Lanka may as well enforce the follow on and try and wrap it up before the end of the day.

Even I have got nothing.

Latham looool.

Donsteppa

Cancel the Indian series.

I was hoping for a cheeky 900-3 declared after the wicket settles down then Santner gets 8-42 and we win by 114 runs.

The team that got rolled for 26 are all resting a bit easier in their graves now.

Donsteppa

Even hiding behind the couch seems an exercise in futility in avoiding this wreck.

900/3 is unrealistic. I always keep my comments grounded in reality, as you know.
