My bad guys, Turned the radio on in the car on the way home and the first ball was the Rutherford wicket. They've been tumbling ever since.

****ing epic knock from Rutherford!

England aren't out of this game at all, though. Their batting is going to be far, far better than in the first innings
Yes - and we're now 200 in front.

They're gonna have to make AT LEAST 400 to make a game of it. And there is every chance they won't.

Course, every chance they will set us 190 to win, and we won't.

That's exactly it though. Neither England scoring 400+ or NZ being rolled for <200 are very unlikely possibilities. I'll take my doom 'n' gloom hat off now ftr

More worrying than the fact that England won't be as bad as they were in the first innings is the fact that Wagner won't be as good as he was.
I know it's a bit unfair to be harsh on him, but even with that brilliant first over, he barely swung the ball after that and the seam was all over the place. He took 4 wickets and still went at 4 an over.

We can't afford for him to spray the ball around. He needs to be tight.

Another reason I feel reasonably positive - we normally lose our grip on a reasonable position when we bat 1st and 3rd. That seems to be the jinx.
