They can put 4 men round the bat and plug that catching position, but that fielder is probably somewhere else, because of the reverse sweep.Get the leg slip in for Young. Always a chance with the turn and bounce his tendency to flick those in the air.
By the sounds of it this might be a pitch where a 70 or an 80 is worth the same as 100Young can’t get hundies and Blundell’s cooked
Very tall order given Mitchell’s exhausted and the tail is a long one. Phillips’ game isn’t best suited to combat this attack but if he can get in will make a big difference.If NZ eke out 300 from here that's probably the game.
WA doesn't get humidMitchell should be able to handle this heat, he grew up in WA, that is just standard summer weather there.
The last test NZ played in Perth it was over 40 degrees for every day of that test.
Will need a little bit of luck for sure. Pitch isn't doing that much consistently. Probably going to be a nightmare to bat on by 4th dig.Very tall order given Mitchell’s exhausted and the tail is a long one.

Yeah it's been bizarre. They're not exactly playing in Sharjah during peak summer. It's hot, yes but this looks concerning for Mitchell fitness wise.Oh dear... cramping up from his epic 45 not out
Yeah WA doesn't get that humid but it still gets bloody hot in summer with days over 40 degrees.WA doesn't get humid
haha holy **** it's even bigger difference than I thought. Mumbai gets over 90% consistently, Perth barely creeps over 60%.
