Send the boys home at the lunch break tbh. We’ve got the gist of it.

NZ lost the plot a bit in those final few overs. Break's come at the right time for them. Game was slipping away fast.

Couldn't ask for a better start or position at the start of that session (apart from the loldrop). But they were never going to just roll over. I think this is where the captaincy ability and smart tactics, field placing and well timed bowling changes etc really comes into it. Not feeling super confident on these fronts.

Tbf Head's slapped a half tracker straight to point. It hasn't all been one way this test, let's be honest.

Also didn't bother to bowl the spinner that got Carey last time to Carey until he had 50 on the board. Or the left arm spinner who has a bit of rough outside Carey's offstump to aim at.
Spinner riskier to Marsh I think, but we're bleeding runs to him anyway.

70-30 or 75-25 in Aus's favor now.
Marsh, Carey, Starc and Cummins are all good enough to get the required 100 runs against the old ball on a flatish day 4 pitch.

They need to forget about the deep field setting and just attack hard with a regulation field, 4 catchers and bowl line and length. There's enough there that Carey and Marsh won't last. Problem is Southee is afraid of their stroke play, he needs to be brave and bring the field up

Just tuned in, seem to be a few familiar tropes in that session - crucial drop, burned reviews, questionable use of the short ball, out of form player coming good when needed etc. And of course bringing on the spinner fairly late. Sounds like it’s not just Southee’s bowling which needs to be talked about?

Exciting to watch but not of the greatest standard.
The issue for the rest is Aus are vulnerable, but they are still winning, and the batting will click again.
Should be Henry and Phillips until Henry’s ****ed and then Sears with a proper field. No Southee, no Kuggeleijn. Probably give Ravindra a bowl before those two. Get one to slide on against Marsh.

Yeah NZ don't deserve to win for all their selection shenanigans. Which they will pat themselves on the back for if they win, and none of the rotten rubbish will change. My cricketing heart feels pretty torn. And it's sad to have to feel that way in such an otherwise exciting game.

It's all going to be on Henry first up after lunch followed by Sears, isn't it? Presume he'll keep Phillips on and run with those two in that order from the other end.
Terrific test match this.
