    Tough gig replacing a bunch of all-time NZ greats. We had the same 'joy' in the 1990s as well, particularly after the world cup.

      Well done Blundell.

      Massive pressure on his place in the side and this won’t mean much in terms of the result but this has been a bloody nice innings.

      May as well go on for 200 now.

        Blundell should need a hundred here to save himself

        Well done, Blundell.

        Some shades of his early series vs Australia when pretty much everyone else was falling apart. (not Wags).

          He’s done enough to play next week.

          Conway and Southee must go though.

            That’s enough from you.

            Your team lost the first test to a team that lost 3-0 at home to a team that is about to get hammered 2-0 at home.

            So basically your team sux way more than ours.

            Yep. Confirmed.

                I think Nathan Astle gave Tom Blundell a call during the drinks break for some advice

                EDIT : Oh……this comment aged rather poorly

                  They’re leaving the run a bit late but a double hundred from Southee and a dogged 50 from O’Rourke should see us home

                    How's the conservative selections going for you Gary? Can't expect to win test matches if you're top order is failing. Surely there must be some changes ahead of the next test. With the series lost they have nothing to lose by giving other guys a crack.

                      Heaviest home defeat by runs - but, clearly not as bad as when Courtney Walsh dynamited us.

                        But Timmy and Conway will have to play in Hamilton because reasons. No doubt Daryl Mitchell will have some words from a PR playbook to explain it all.

                          I think they'll bring in Young for Conway, but I wouldn't bet big money on it.

                          I bet Timmy plays.

                            It’s still early in his career but I have to say I’m not quite on the RR bandwagon yet.

                            He looks a million bucks but is far too susceptible to some careless shit.

                            Out caught four out of four times this series. Today was a perfect opportunity to make a big hundred at home but he squandered it really needlessly

                            ( even though the result was a forgone conclusion )

                                  England owns NZ in tests matches in recent years. The 1 run win was the exception.

                                  What excuse will Stead and Latham come up with this time?

                                    I honestly thought we’d be 1-1 at this stage.

                                    On paper there’s surely not THAT much between the teams ?
