Not exactly the most challenging attack/conditions he'll face but definitely good to see Mitchell wasn't entirely a one series wonder.

I know it's been said a million times but if Southee and Henry are going to bat like this with a set batsman at the other end they should be batting below Wagner.

If they want to slog their way to 20s and 30s because they don't trust their defence then that's a valid strategy but slogging tailenders should never bat ahead of those who can bat for the set batsman.
Henry had a completely wild swipe at the first ball he faced which prompted my post but he's batted well since then, so I'll retract this for him.

Southee slogging should definitely happen *after* the tailenders who can bat time with specialist bats though.

Good to see Dazza averaging more than that hack Steve Smith. Just need Hazza Brook to get a few more diamond ducks in the Ashes now.

Is there any way you can listen to the radio commentary for this through your browser? I don't want to download another app just for that. Searched for a good ten minutes and can't find anything.

Honestly can't take another second of listening to Scotty Stevenson.

Does anyone know how cricket rights and broadcasting work? I am wondering if we might see a new commentary team when the rights pass to TVNZ. I am also wondering if it is too early to start writing to TVNZ to complain about how crap Stevenson is at talking about cricket.

PS Well done Daryl!

Looks like you need the app unless you've got an old school radio/car radio

He really wanted to edge behind, but just decided to score himself a hundy first.

Anyway time for knobheadery / fun.

If NZ have Kane and play a proper bowling attack I think there a top 3/4 side in the world, even without Jamieson. They've got bowlers in domestic cricket that are better than Tickner/kuggs/current Wagner and have plenty of guys who can plug the #4 hole in the batting order, just need to be a bit more proactive in selection. A series against SL at home where your not fussed about WTC shenanigans is the best possible place to blood some young players.

Hopefully the tail can drag this to parity from here but even a 50 deficit is workable given where NZ where at the start of the day.
