Not sure what to say about that. Hard to criticise Ronchi or Santner too much, also hard to criticise the 3 blokes who are expected to make runs and did exactly that.
Ultimately Ross, Guppy and KW all played good knocks but all got out prior to accelerating and that was the blessing and curse of the innings.

Adam Larsen hitting that economical and pole-less length again, or so the commentary is leading me to believe. Henry in the wickets, also as is tradition.

He's Adam Ellis now. Keep up.

Why!?!? He is definitely Larsening this spell.

Picked up a few wickets on a Plunket Shield green top.

Because a couple of weeks ago he was languishing in domestic cricket but turned up at #6 in the batting order.

I'm sure Larsen did a bit of that too. Also a balanced all-rounder as a youngster at domestic level, like Milne.

....which is a very Larsen-esque place to be batting in domestix

Yeah to be fair Larsen could bat as well so it's still a more apt comparison, but it's less funny.

AFAIK Larsen basically played through the 80s as a batting all-rounder in NZ domestic cricket. At least, that was the prevailing narrative of his career as I understood, as his NZ career basically coincided with me starting to watch cricket. Handy middle-order bat and slightly-better-than-part-time bowler who developed a niche for economy in 50 over cricket.

Yeah I agree. I thought I'd made a longish post about this a while ago but I could find was this from March:

The issue is that Sri Lanka's resources beyond these two are rather limited. They're gonna have to get them the majority of the way there themselves imo.
