You mean Southee isn’t trying to bowl spin?

Seriously though - Southee has looked less and less threatening this summer in reasonably helpful conditions. His decline has mirrored Wagner’s over the last 18 months or so, but I feel like it’s really starting to hurt in the last few months.
Do we think there’s anyway someone drops him after the next test? Get to 100 tests and retire?

I mean, southee had two catches dropped off his bowling, could have had green out just before he accelerated after 50. He bowled fine (Henry was definitely better, tbf).

He's been an ATG test bowler for NZ but his days look to be numbered, he didn't look all that threatening today compared to the rest of our bowlers.
He will see out this series at least which will get him to 100 tests but if his form doesn't improve he might look at calling it quits before he gets dropped.

Australia $1.77 at the TAB, if you feel like having 1.77 times as many houses as you currently have then go right ahead
Unless it rains, then you have no houses. And now you're wet, without a roof over your head.
Would I bet on us? No, not at this stage. Would I bet on it not raining in Wellington? Also no.

I don't agree but this is a great way to express yourself. Very good

I certainly wouldn't be betting on us winning but I wouldn't be betting on Australia winning at this stage either.
We will have a better idea of who to bet on tomorrow, if we're still batting at stumps tomorrow we might be a chance, if we aren't then we're no chance.
Just a shame Jamieson keeps getting injured, Henry, O'Rourke and Jamieson together would be a great pace bowling trio.

Henry has gone from being a back up bowler to our no.1 strike bowler, he was great today and O'Rourke looks a great prospect as a test bowler too,

good day of cricket all around i think.
nz going to be tested hard tomorrow and to borrow one of the flem phrases how they bat against speedsters from oz will i think be the biggest test of if the recurrent case of mental midgetry shows or can be overcome. nz’s bowling against us was always going to be a good and even match; it is their batting versus an enemy who’s had their number time and times again that should be the deciding factor
