At this rate we should pass the follow on mark by tea.

Looking forward to this huge six Watling is about to hit.

Bloody hell, even Peterson looks unplayable on this.... reckon we might actually have missed Vettori's bowling here.

Vettori wouldn't be bowling at the Blackcaps.

 

[Athlai]

First time I've heard him properly. Want to shove his face down his throat, ****ing terrible.

You know you're a **** commentator when Simon Doull sounds better than you.

I mean sure you can call Jeets a bad batsman and you can suggest Boult is a better batsman. But at least do it in a way that doesn't make me want to cry ****.

Good **** BJ.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

BJ and Boult to open

 

[NZTailender]

Yes Watling you ****ing magnificent dynamo!

 

[Flametree]

Jinxed him...

 

[BoyBrumby]

**** I hate this commentator. Hate him. With a passion. Such an asshole.

Haysman? Yeah, bit of an arse at times.

Left Super Sport to go and suck Stanford's ****, didn't he? So clearly an astute judge of character.

[irfan]

9/99. Gunnest scoreline!

Ever happened before in tests?

 

[Flametree]

Congrats Watling, looked a different game when he's been at the crease. Something to do with having a reasonable technique maybe?

 

[Bahnz]

Because Guptill was picked for a job and that job was opening. He should at least try and earn his spot in the side. He should open as both as punishment and for as as opportunity.

Yep, Guptill was picked for a job, but he's failed at it. Putting him to open again would just be flogging a dead horse.

Well done Watling.

 

[NZTailender]

He's had ample opportunity and I get hes trying, but he's not a test opener.

So sending him down the order is the answer? We need openers more than we need middle order batsmen, and on merit he doesn't really deserve to replace anyone except maybe Flynn. And given Taylor is aiming to come back vs England that makes it moot, for mine.

 

[BackFootPunch]

If Guptill opens next innings and bats a day and a half for 150 does he get to stay in the team?

 

[Dan]

Boult

 

[Athlai]

124 guys.

The score at which point the 10th wicket partnership equals the aggregate of the previous 9 wickets.

 

[NZTailender]

Haha Boult, way to show up the top order.

 

[Bahnz]

While we're at it, send Boult in to open with him.

**** yes.
