    I saw that score without actually opening the scorecard, and thought they were doing alright. Expected them to crumble after racking up such a big total in the field. That is the usual way.

    This morning I learned that was their second innings

      291 behind, four wickets in hand……..and if they somehow got the 291 then Sri Lanka get another bat.

      This is as big a fucken hiding as I’ve ever recalled.

      Phillips and Santner may as well have a swing, still an opportunity for Southee to get a century late in his career…………

      …….and yeah, may as well pick a team for the next test vs India.

      Latham
      Young
      KW
      Ravindra
      Mitchell
      Blundell
      Phillips
      Henry
      Southee
      O’Rourke
      Patel

      Definitely shuffling the deck chairs a bit but something has to change after this atrocious effort.

      I’d drop Southee for Sears but that won’t happen.

          It's on for Southee! 10% of the way there...

            I think there is a lot of negative Nellie's on here. If these 2 bat for the next day and a half we should easily be able to secure a draw.

                    What sort of target do we think we should set?

                    There are 5 sessions remaining. We are 179 behind with some number of wickets remaining. We are also 1 down in a 2 match series so we can afford to take some risks in pursuit of outcome..

                    I think aim should be to bat sensibly through to drinks in morning session tomorrow and assess run rate from there.

                      @Damo love your work, but this is arguing about what tune the orchestra should play as the Titanic slips beneath the waves.

                      We are absolutely fucked. the normal state of affairs of NZC these days. Wallow in it, don't fight it.

                        If Mitch would've scored these runs in the first match, we'd have won.

                        Good on him for earning some redemption, but Matt Henry has to take his place.

                        It's like Danny Morrison's last stand!

                          If he hadn’t sucked arse as a test bowler we might have kept them under 450.

                          Mitch needs to go.

                          Jason Gillespie got a double ton in his last test match

                            I think Southee, Santner and the coach should go permanently.

                            Southee has been great but he's done enough now.

                            Need fresh blood and new enthusiasm.

                              I assume Southee is hanging around trying to get to 400 test wickets?

                                      jesus fuck, this sounds like 'if Scarlett Johanssen something something'. If my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle (until the trans activists showed up).

                                      reality is we're limited. We need a few things to go our way. Santner is currently looking like Bradman V1.1 after a shedload of shitty innings. Fucked it I know, I've been on the garage projet, but I think we're going to get smoked in India.
