Disagree, we're going to collapse like this whether we've got the extra batsman or not. Rather take the bowling firepower.

Marcuss · 14-03-2012, 10:14 PM

This is amusing.

Days of Grace · 14-03-2012, 10:16 PM

Really hoping that New Zealand get bowled out for 135 here. Would be hilarious.

And a great lesson to McCullum and Taylor, as if the dumb ****s haven't had enough already. I'm blaming them.

McCullum and Taylor will get a lot of criticism for this after getting out playing attacking shots. Partly that will be fair but it's also tough when our entire run-scoring efforts rely on those two plus Vettori.

We could start by not picking passengers like Nicol for the top 6

Yeah, I'm only partially serious with all the anger. Wiliamson looks like he has zero confidence atm though.

Flametree · 14-03-2012, 10:17 PM

Boycott used to rattle on about "whenever you feel you're in a good spot, look at the scorecard and add two wickets, then see how you feel". NZ followers are well used to adapting the saying, picking some number between 2 and 8...

It puts that potential last day chase in Dunedin into some sort of perspective doesn't it?

KiWiNiNjA · 14-03-2012, 10:17 PM

So I pop out and NZ lose 4 for none.

Joy! All started by a predictably dumb shot from McCullum.

Did I hear booing as Vettori was out?

McCullum's shot wasn't just attacking, it was plain idiotic. Taylor's was just a lazy poor shot.

Zinzan · 14-03-2012, 10:21 PM

I left work as McCullum was dismissed, so naturally gobsmacked to get home 10 mins later to see us 7 down, I assumed it was a replay.

I think the whole 6 batsman vs 5 batsman thing - only matters if we have 6 test standard batsman in the country.

Exactly.

Briony · 14-03-2012, 10:22 PM

Taylor's still searching for his first half ton against SA.

sunilreddy · 14-03-2012, 10:27 PM

New Zealand are the only team to lose five wickets for no runs in Test cricket, and they've done it three times!!!

Blakey · 14-03-2012, 10:29 PM

Here's a top idea. Our top sorry, 'top' order batsman get out for **** all and let Steyn beat the **** out of our new fast bowler.

Will Gillespie come out to bowl? May have just broken his forearm. NZ you are so ****.
