Sports 🏏 Black Caps

[John Nick]

Great start, but we still need Phillips to be on his game in this innings. Otherwise we only have two contributing bowlers who will tire and allow these two attacking batsmen some ascendancy.

Interested to see the keeper up for the quicks

Sears looks decent, I assume they'll announce he's injured soon.

Southee needs to step back and let Sears and Henry take the first spell in the morning. Hopefully get a quick break through.

Southee needs to step back and

Retire

I know I said it yesterday about today but tomorrow morning will define the test. It’s going to be a nail biter.
Go the Black Caps!

Would be an exciting win when our boys are under criticism.
Go the Blackcaps

I haven’t been able to watch the games in the morning, just catch some of the end of the day.

Are they able to get swing and is it hostile to batters in the morning sessions?

First 3 days only bounce for the first hour.
Odd one seaming but nothing alarming.
Our guys have scored on it so that tells you something

Wow. Rachin drops Marsh off Southees first ball.
Head caught off Southees 2nd ball.

Rachin looks relieved

I think it's time for Tim southee to retire from test cricket

 

[JaggedJ]

Marsh is the one I want out. Can change the game quick the way he plays.

Marsh is the one I want out. Can change the game quick the way he plays.

If we get him out with more than 120 runs to get I think we'll get home. But yeah if he's there after lunch it will be dangerous.

Also, they showed that we've only beaten Australia in a test like 10 times total. TOTAL.

Man, seeing this team run around the last 5 or 6 years have really masked how piss poor NZ cricket have been for decades....

Kuggeleijn is trash, also sucks at cricket.

 

[ndp26]

Why is Southee so reluctant to bowl Phillips, aka the one with the golden arm?!

This is starting to feel like the second half on Friday night

Kuggeleijn is trash, also sucks at cricket.

Why they persist with him I don't know...

Got a bad feeling about this game I reckon Aussie will get the runs.

Starting to be too late for Phillips.
Not many runs to play with

 

[Bay39er]

Where the fuck is Wagner when you need him?????

We instead have Kuggeleiijn spraying them around

 

[selector]

Southee is a rubbish captain. Gave up unnecessary runs by bowling Kuggelejlijn. Phillips bowls one over, bowls a maiden and already looks more threatening.

 

[JaggedJ]

Knew this would happen when we dropped Marsh. Another test another wasted opportunity.
