Oh no... Commentators cursed him...

Phillips has likely earnt the number 7 spot for the summer with that innings. His useful spin would give NZ the option of playing the usual quartet of four quicks in home conditions as well.

His batting is pretty solid, if we can improve his bowling a little more he fills a pretty crucial position in the team. But like Jadeja does for India.

 

[Tonbridge(aka Swanley)]

Wow a lead... wouldn't of thought that possible.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Bad light stops play at 2:47pm. Bit of a joke really.

This test will still finish inside the 5 days tho. No one can bat except Phillips on this wicket.

It's true, Wiz might say I communist cursed him.

Best Line up

1. T Latham
2. D Conway
3. K Williamson
4. D Mitchell
5. R Ravindra
6. G Phillips
7. T Blundell
8. K Jamieson
9. N Wagner
10. T Southee
11. A Patel

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Jamieson with 4 overs in the test. The reverse of carrying a spinner on a NZ green top

The lowest amount of balls to take 30 wickets in 111 years of test cricket apparently. It is a pretty enthralling game though.

 

[PullingTeets]

You'd think the way the pitch is playing, they'd have to think about throwing Southee out there after the next wicket to try and get a quick 20 or 30

Quick 7 you mean.

 

[Tonbridge(aka Swanley)]

Will be a good finish...

At least Nicholls inclusion spared Ravindra this pitch

 

[Canadian_Warriors_Fan]

and the walking wicket walks again, just not good enough.

Surely he gets dropped from the test team now!?

Surely he gets dropped from the test team now!?

He must do. He is so far out of his depth. It's time.

 

[Victor_Radley's_Scrotum]

and the walking wicket walks again, just not good enough.

He is hopeless. Completely and utterly out of his depth.

 

[Canadian_Warriors_Fan]

Another 87 would be nice here Philips.

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Nail biter. Who’s everyone backing from here?

86 runs needed with 5 wickets. Think it’s looking in the Banga’s favour.

Darryl Mitchell must be sick and tired of trying to dig us out of messes. One day he's going to get to play a less stressed out situation.
