you wanted him to play like an odi, he played like it was an odi

yeah but if you're going to hit over the top either use your feet or slog sweep.

That was just a wild swing. Would've been a bad shot in ODIs too.

 

[Zinzan]

That bushfire could get pretty bad out there

Yeah, I was wondering way they didn't say much about it first time around. Looked bad on that first instance.

 

[Zinzan]

Nah that was more a case of a *** shot, than bring a one-day one.

Call off the test imo.

 

[James]

Pity, but let's be honest, Guptill was never gonna bat 2 days to save us this game anyway.

Surely we'll get typical rainy Wellington weather on one of the remaining days that will help us out.

 

[jonbrooks]

Guptil has got us a good RR. This sets up the platform for hitters like McCullum and Anderson. Believe people! We can chase this target down.

praying for rain is for the weak

 

[jonbrooks]

Latham still trying to play the wide ball. Let it go son. Let it go. Nothing good will come out of it.

 

[straw man]

praying for rain is for the weak

the strong pray for fire?

 

[jonbrooks]

Re: the fire, WTF is the monsoon bucket?!

 

[Zinzan]

Mitchell isn't a dissimilar physical specimen to Keith Miller is he, with Miller being bigger relative to his contemporaries than Marsh.

Forecast is good.

 

[jonbrooks]

Jordan Bird is getting a bit of shape. He'll trouble the batsmen. Just needs to pitch it up a bit more.

 

[jonbrooks]

Oooh, that last ball tailed in nicely but Williamson was able to put it away. If I was Smith I'd give him more protection on the on-side and get him to continue bowling that line. If he can sneak one straight it will be LBW, leading edge or bowled.

 

[hendrix]

Tom Latham really has to make it through this period.

 

[Jono]

Man Latham with his prods and Guptil with his brain fades. That's a brutal opening p'ship when trying to bat 2.5 days to save a test.

 

[Gnske]

Williamson just needs to hog the strike, Latham is just at the complete opposite end of the spectrum to Kane daddy atm.

 

[BeeGee]

Think that's expecting a bit too much. Stokes a vastly superior bowler , and I don't think Anderson is ever going to be better than a handy 5th bowler as opposed to the genuine bowling allrounder that Stokes is.

Career test bowling summary:
C Anderson matches 12 average 38.6 econ 3.01
B Stokes matches 23 average 38.07 econ 3.51
