IT ISN'T FAIR

[SteveNZ]

jonbrooks will not like that wicket. Hope he's sleeping.

 

[Athlai]

38 run partnership though. Definitely useful.

 

[Gnske]

Test no. 6? Loving Every Laugh.

 

[Athlai]

Craig/Henry/Southee/Boult is a pretty good 8-11.

I mean Doug clearly isn't a 7 but we're 485/6. Lets just forget about that for now.

 

[Gnske]

Welp looks like we're in for some memey times on Day 4 and 5 with this pitch.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

[AndyZaltzHair]

I laugh now.

good dig

Lyon to Craig, no run, edged! And falls short and a drop. Thick edge and Nevill drops a tough chance and lobs up towards Smith at slip who dives forward but cannot reach

Wonder if Viriya's thingo will classify this as a drop by Nevill or Smith

 

[Black_Warrior]

I can't believe I am saying this but I was happy when Mark Nicholas came along because at least he seems to be interested in the amazing cricket taking place now

 

[Athlai]

Get thrashed. 500 up.

Don't think Henry's much of a nine right now. Just another guy with a decent eye but not much more - could improve of course, or he could go the Southee route.

Might have a hard time classifying it seeing as Craig missed it completely.

I'd say Southee is a decent nine though so it all balances out. Boult could bat 10 pretty comfortably too. It's not as strong a tail as we've had in recent years but it's still pretty decent. Our tail still scores a lot of runs.

He's the best of the lot even if he is in love with himself.

Then again given the contenders i'm not sure that's saying anything.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

as proper as bracewell tries to be, craig just looks so much more natural batting at this level.
