Dan - what a ledge. Well done to O'Brien for sticking with him for the century too.

Dan Vettori

With the rest of the line-up would HTFU.

The gutsiest guys in the line up are in atm. Really only Ryder has a brain when batting, but one drink off the pitch and it could be all over.

Brilliant century. One of the greatest I've ever seen....

So true! We are destined to be the world's best team in 7-8 years

The thing that ***** me the most is that we now need 139 runs to win, If the rest of them had pulled their finger out, we might well have won this, or got a lot closer.

Yup, definitely

NZ just showing what a great cricketing nation it is. Super effort to get so close. Well done boys.

Ten bucks says DingDing isnt a kiwi but some pricks smartarse multi (bond21 or MNS ftw). Seriously, how patronising can you get?

MNS ftw

That crossed my mind too.

Vettori has opened up now.

Here come the seamers. I think this is curtains...

I remember the Hadlee chant with the beer cans that was the best. He said that he used to try to run in - in time with the cans.

On a tangent, can we schedule a debate between Slippyslip and DingDong? According to Slippy, we dont even try in tests anymore.

Has a point, if you look at some of our top and middle order.

 

[Craig]

50 run partnership for the 9th wicket.

This is going to end up like the Napier test against England. The victory target will get to almost within reach only for it to be snatched away.

There's a test on? I didn't even know or care, seeing as I live in New Zealand and all...

Chris Martin to finally shine with the bat?

O'Brien to open, IMO.
