Rachin looking a bit frustrated out there. Hope he doesn't give it away again.

 

[Skyliner]

It's like Bazball on steroids out there!

Sensible stuff, just keep building that lead.

Rachin looking a bit frustrated out there. Hope he doesn't give it away again.

Don't think he will, first innings s/r 72.00,
now s/r 14.28
Now into double figures....and an average of 38.00

 

[ashley bach]

Well bowled Carse. Kane lucky to get away with that.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Good to see Rachin learning from Will O'Rourke our new no 4.

 

[BigBeefy]

Caught up with all the highlights now and it's predictably grim stuff. Credit where it's due though, Henry was good with the new ball and that decisive three wicket burst by O'Rourke was mighty fine fast bowling. No disrespect to Santner but the dismissals of Pope and Stokes were poor I thought.

Bethell was a bit worked out I thought. When it comes to the Bethell-Pope-Smith discussion it need noting that in first innings he isn't batting in the style of the team and is obviously, if understandably, in a different mental place.

I hope O'Rourke can lead the Kiwi attack for a long time, but I worry that his build doesn't always lend itself to a long career as a fast bowler. His action really reminds me of a seam bowler from yesteryear but it's been bugging me who it is!

I thought there was a bit of Jason Gillespie about him- release height/speed and angle in to the right hander just gives me that hint of JG.

Im sure there are a few tall quick’s he has shades of though, good young talent he seems.

 

[anonymouskefe]

finally Rachin. Haha carse fuming

 

[ashley bach]

lol why is Carse giving Rachin **** after getting smoked through mid wicket.

 

[anonymouskefe]

Where do I sign a petition to remove Stevenson from coms

Good to see Rachin learning from Will O'Rourke our new no 4.

 

[Gnske]

I see the NZ posters' wonderchild Rachin "Selfish" Ravindra is really helping advance the score

 

[SteveNZ]

lol why is Carse giving Rachin **** after getting smoked through mid wicket.

Because Rachin bottled it yesterday in perfect batting conditions before stumps. Or at least that'll be the impression (it might be a team edict). Deserved **** given for mine. And probably why Rachin had been scoring so slow

 

[Skyliner]

It's test cricket, good for Rachin to get chipped really, shows it's a contest out there and hopefully he uses it as fuel to get obstinate and knuckle down.

 

[Gnske]

Advance the game you ****s

 

[_Ed_]

Kane's average at Seddon Park now sits at a handy 96.37.

 

[SteveNZ]

Advance the game you ****s

It's day 3, we're 400 ahead, no rain on the forecast. Why?

 

[Gnske]

It's day 3, we're 400 ahead, no rain on the forecast. Why?

Day 3 and Henry has to carry Southee and O'Rourke. Need all the time you can get.

 

[SteveNZ]

Carrying O'Rourke?

 

[Gnske]

Yeah he's bowling well under par right now.

Also loving the clear audio on Stokes having a mental breakdown every over

 

[anonymouskefe]

In popes defence blundell isn’t getting anywhere near it
