Rats I wanted to be the person to make a post about the score being 123.

We can still hit 150/5 boys. Not all physics is broken.

Don't understand why Herath has only bowled 7 overs of 37. On now though.

We're batting first lads.

and Southee in.

i don't like van Wyk at 6. Tough ask for Flynn to bat with the tail. Who know, maybe Astle will prove capable.

The seamers took two early wickets so in the first session of a test match he backed them to take more.

i think the difference today is athlai hasn't made any predictions.

we should ban him.

He's probably not posting because Franko got dropped.

Imagine if Astle outbowls jeets too

[Flem274*]

pitch looking more and more like a road. will probably provide assistance for the spinners later on. a few have given these two a fright already. when we bowl we need some clouds in the sky first up.

hope he does

I just don't understand why we need 3 fast bowlers and 2 spinners.

2 spinners 2 seamers fine. Honestly, I think Franklin should be playing instead of Bracewell.

Franko probably outbowled him as well.

If that's true then it's not very good logic, considering there was no more seam movement after 15 or so overs.

much better to back Bracewell to bowl better this match imo.

I was 50:50 on Franklin vs Tastle - both seem not particularly likely to achieve much. But you never know.
