Terrible game awareness from Santner I thought. If you just bat out 5-6 overs you still go into the 5th day 6 down. Wasted a fine effort from Rachin here.
Yeah he wouldn't have done it if he was 10 (20) rather than 2 (20). Just awful decision-making.

You really get the feeling that this deserves to be a 3 test series
Would love if this happened on either side of the pond. You’d have to go back to the Ranatunga-Fleming era (1998) for the last time these 2 sides played a 3-test series. Feels like there’s a mutual agreement at work!

This hasn't been a good last couple of hours to be a NZ cricket fan - the White Ferns have botched a very gettable chase against Australia tonight too. :(
In fairness, it's not been easy these last two hours in Galle. Lots of turn and bounce with the odd one keeping low as well.

I remember watching Santner on Test debut and getting a 70 vs India (in India?). How has his batting fallen off this much? Or were the initial scores just going against the grain of his actual FC batting trend?

He's had 3 or 4 reasonable innings but complete junk outside that. Bowling in test cricket is junk too.

I think if I decided to make a last minute over to Sri Lanka for the test, I wouldn't be able to do the country justice since I would basically be there for 3 days to see the cricket and not much else of the country. Maybe next time NZ tour Sri Lanka (if I'm still in Singapore). I'll just have to wait until I go home for Christmas to get my cricket fix, maybe see some super smash games or something
