Was afraid of this. 2 new batsman in at the death. Momentum has shifted somewhat. Should have enough already though.

Shirt! Yeah but commentators reckoned 300 would be safe! But we have class bowlers.

Can't see NZ getting much more than 250 but you never know.

Either way I don't think I'm going to be up for it. Tanking....

Excepting for a mini batting collapse at the tail end of our innings and another record last wicket stand by the Kiwis, yes...

Yeah, I was looking at the scorecard. 180 after 35. Should have got 310-320. NZ only conceded 63 runs in the last ten, which is horrible from us conisdering that Amla and Faf laid such a solid platform.

Tons of interesting topics to talk about in this match. For me AB's 2 wickets are probably most remarkable. I reckon the Black Caps hadn't banked on that, so did not strategize for it either? :D

Interesting that Miller is batting higher up today. He cant say that they're not giving him the opportunity to keep his spot in the side

Not a lot beats the dissapointment of waiting up for cricket just to find a rain delay message on the top of the screen with the highlights of the previous game!

Neither Miller nor Rillee are really convincing so far. That's probably the only position that is a worry currently.
