Last time we got a go at Australia we were decimated by flu and could barely field a team by the Sydney test.

All part of the elaborate aussie conspiracy against us at the highest levels, you wouldn't believe who's in on it.

Australia has ‘Atlas’ in it

The lads finally bowling with some shape.
Great catches so far.

Southee bro, retire already.

Just got home and turned on the cricket. Saw the scorecard and was wondering why Steve Smith was there. And then I remembered, Australia send all their criminals to New Zealand !

Our cricket team has the biggest mental block when it comes to playing Australia, that run out

The ol top order collapse and hope Mitchell scores a ton routine. Never gets old.

Good of the Black Caps to be so concerned about the crowds and wanting to ensure their enjoyment won't be ruined by expected rain on Sunday and Monday.

Bless them, they'll ensure there's a result by Saturday lunch.

Chur, Caps!

Crazy to say this after being in such a strong position at the end of yesterday, but in just two sessions the test match is now near to unwinnable. Hopefully Blundell and Phillips can hang in there and Kuggeleijn and Henry can chip in too. Weather is looking dodgy for Sunday and Monday. Its all about batting time now.

something we aren't looking terribly capable of doing so far. Lucky we get to do it twice!

I'm actually enjoying the way Phillips is attacking right now so hope he can carry this on.

This is a pretty decent batting deck. What might have been...

Lyon is getting some good turn.

Australia play him and he gets wickets in all conditions

Do we need to review having a specialist spinner or do we stick with Philips and Ravindra?

 

[Inruin]

FFS a number of our players have no grit or fight to them.

Does Australia enforce the follow on if it gets to that?

 

[Ever Hopeful]

I'm so annoyed Kuggeleijn is playing for NZ. Every wicket has been in a clump.

Shame about Blundell, he was looking in good form.
