With Jono here, highly doubt Hayden meant what's being interpreted. He was just probably in shock as to why a non professional cricketer can just don some whites and rock up for Australia.

It was a bit dumb because he clearly knew nothing about the background of the guy though, but it's Hayden so that shouldn't really come as a surprise.

yeah but did you see how many likes I got for taking a pot shot at Hayden?

Fish in a barrel.

Evidently I've forgotten Top_Cat's disdain for Hayden. Either that or we just spent too much time talking about Harris.

Time for Santner to be a hero and Watling to play his one special innings per series. Shame Taylor didn't last the day - I'd be a lot more confident at 4 down rather than 5. The key also is how much the ball swings for Australia early in the day as our tailenders should be more comfortable against the Australian seamers sans Starc as long as it doesn't keep moving. They would be sitting ducks against extreme pace. This test is certainly still winnable but we need a couple of very good partnerships.

As Quiney-ish as it sounds, I think we have to recognise how valuable the Voges 13 was. Saw out the tail end of the night session, where if Marsh and Marsh had been exposed, well, things could have been even worse than Channel 9's fav family contributing 6.

Not a bad point, and in contrast shows how bad Latham's 10 and Guptill's 17 were.

Zero match awareness. Wet there pants as soon as they were dotted up, exposed the middle order to the most difficult session.

Not holding my breath. As you say, Taylor's wicket was one too many. Still, Australia's batting wasn't much more convincing in the daytime so if a 200 lead is achieved who knows.

Whatever happens tomorrow, decent debut for Santner. Despite not appearing anything special, has seemed like he belongs.

A big zero for Guptill's temperament here. One situation where his trademark block game was needed, couldn't wait it out against Haze.

This has been the difficult second year for Latham but you hope he's learned from this.

Last night's debacle by the openers chasing sucker balls when runs were irrelevant highlights what a mistake it was to drop the mighty TMac.

So, after a night's sleep ... still really pissed off by the incompetence of Llong and team. Has made what was going to be tense battle on day 3 into a stroll for Aust

One issue that wasn't raised much yesterday, was why wasn't the review restored to NZ? Not for Llong's mistake on the hot spot, from my understanding of legal concepts this would be treated as an error of opinion, so once Llong made a decision, it stands. But for the lbw. Llong called for an lbw replay. He was shown the wrong ball. So the DRS procedure was not followed correctly. Mentioned within 2 mins on commentary and cricinfo etc. The match referee should have been aware of this within a few minutes (or someone from CA was aware who could have told the match referee). So this is an error if fact, and no reason for Llong and team not to have advised the on-field umpires as soon as possible (end of the next over?) that the DRS procedure hadn't been followed correctly, and NZ should get their review back.

P.S. Anyone see the ball tracker from the correct ball? Assume in line but going over?

Looks like this could be over before I can really watch much of it. 3 day tests is why the Aus test pitches have become highways.

Caught the Marsh dismissals and lol. Never change. Now to find some last session highlights.

Re day night test: I think they can and perhaps should become the norm in NZ

Agree. The same logic for day-night ODIs - that people won't be working during the match and can therefore attend - applies to Tests. The BCs were getting 10,000 at Hagley Oval for a Test during the holiday season. I'd think a day-night Test outside of holiday time would challenge that.
