Explains why KFC is so popular in the Athlai household.

 

[straw man]

Bracewell, Martin, Sodhi, Boult

God that's a horrible tail, especially with a debutant at 6. When I've thought in recent times on one of our young allrounders making his debut it's always been with Vettori or at least Todd Astle bolstering the lower order. Bracewell will need to contribute a few runs.

It's only a decent tail if you think Bracewell and Sodhi's apparent batting ability is going to translate into runs starting now.

Fifteen mins ago I thought I'd be eating these words, but alas.

Martin is the only tail-ender in there that I have any confidence in, by which I mean that he's a reliable old-fashioned tail-ender that will bring a simple approach, hang around and score 15-20.

Eating these though. That was **** Bruce.

 

[Zinzan]

So much for NZ scoring 550 on the back of a Williamson double hundred ..... From 244/2 to 342/9 .... .

 

[Flem274*]

Watling and Anderson really need to be swapped around. I don't think Watling is all that flash at scoring quickly with the tail.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Sodhi to be the new Agar, please.

I was very nearly going to post the same thing, kind of glad i didn't now.

 

[NZTailender]

One gets the feeling that Brownlie and Wagner/Gillespie would've contributed more. Better make up for it with bowling and in the 2nd dig...

 

[Prince EWS]

Shakib "Allison"!!!

That's great. Going to use it all the time now no matter how confused people get.

 

[BeeGee]

Watling and Anderson really need to be swapped around. I don't think Watling is all that flash at scoring quickly with the tail.

Leave Watling where he is, replace Anderson with Brownlie and Sodhi with Wagner.

Two spinners, three seamers and a handy looking tail.

 

[Flem274*]

thats my preference too, but it wasnt going to happen in this test

McHesson will be disappointed by Watling's lack of chest beating at 9 down.

 

[Flem274*]

go to lunch already, im starving and i want to cook dinner.

 

[straw man]

But Watling is 3 sandwiches short of a fifty

 

[NZTailender]

Watling: "Y'all are chumps. Batting is easy ffs"
Boult: "C'd"

McCullum, Anderson, Bracewell: ""

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

How has Boult resisted the dirty old tonk for so long?

 

[Flem274*]

Watling gave it away and was saved by a no ball tbf.

But his non-dismissal was not as bad as the club cricket played in those three balls to dismiss the above.
