I know DoG's call in reply was a bad one, but the **** calls in the first test were pretty much even so your call isn't exactly any better.
Also, given the number of no balls that Ishant was bowling in the first innings which weren't called, it just shows how poor the umpiring has been overall that they let the no ball line drift until there's a wicket - or they're now so inclined not to watch the no ball line and rely on the replays, that you get guys like Corey Anderson where the umpire review never even comes.
Rahane was superb today. Absolutely superb. An effortless ton if ever there was one.

Yep stupid BCCI and India doctoring their home pitch, wait it's an away game.
Stupid nz cricket bowing to Indian pressure to prepare flat tracks like we were claiming in 2009. Wait no this was a green wicket.
I guess the new one can be just blaming BCCI for rigging the toss.

Indeed. You should have flown down as well ya dog.

Oh, and does someone have the full video of the Boult catch on Rahane. From the ground, it looked like he was running around like a circus clown trying to catch a baby from a burning building before miraculously catching it.
Would make a great .gif to put up when someone makes a wild prediction based on spurious evidence which incredibly turns out to be correct.

Yeah, thought about it. I was actually thinking of going to Days 1, 4 and 5 and going to the Auckland Nines on Days 2 and 3 of the Test, but Wellington and Auckland were just too far apart to make it a good idea.

Haha, even if it only went for one I would've got some cricket and rugby league in and been happy. I would've liked to stay in the one spot and just travel each day to the grounds though, and it just takes too ****ing long to get from Wellington to Auckland, even if I picked a spot right in the middle.Forget the distance, assuming the game would go to 5 days was not a good idea
Jelly, all the same.

It literally takes less time to get from the Basin to Auckland (via plane) than it does to get from Sydney to Penrith via non-express train.
At least in my experience.

Yeah I'm sure that's right but I don't think catching two planes every single day was really all that practical an idea, especially since I could just do that from Sydney anyway.

How many does Rutherford need today to hand the 'worst batsman in the team' title to Fulton? I know Rutherford (36 at 12) currently averages a whopping 4 more runs for the series than Fulton (32 at 8) but Fulton started the series with a slightly lesser recent history of crapness than Rutherford. I know I've suggested Fulton should be retained marginally ahead of Rutherford but really it's like discussing whether a carrot or a spoon is more useful in trying to open a locked door and I no longer care much which is kept and which is dropped.
Latham to please score runs today so it looks like our other options are not just as poor.

Spoon seems more unless the carrot is sturdy and can be crafted to unlock the door.
He needs 50+ at least in my opinion. KW is pretty secure for a few, A big partnership between the two will bring nz right back into the game. Having said that not sure if Lathem is eny good so its upto Mcullum and Kw yet again. Pitch is flat, should hold no demons for the nz batsman. Should be no exuses today

Saturday/Sunday: Watch 9s, stay in Auckland. Fly down to Wellington after 9s on Sunday or early flight on Monday
Monday: Watch cricket at the Basin
Tuesday: Spare day as cricket has ended early
Flight costs ~ $200
Number of flights in total: 2
