Now 8 overs of Southee and Boult.

 

[Howsie]

oh my god just stop bowling martin already. its not his day.

this game is done.

Not his day

He's ****ing rubbish. Been outbowled by Williamson so much in this match it isn't funny.

 

[Meridio]

****ing hell, Boult and Southee have been our most likely bowlers this innings - why are they not bowling? Martin has bowled far too many, it was obvious from early on that he wasn't on song.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Ah, probably would be a legit tactic. Even if it could potentially hand Monty a ton.

youre being a bit one innings focused i think

Not his day

He's ****ing rubbish. Been outbowled by Williamson so much in this match it isn't funny.

TBF he's bowled well at other times during this series - even in the first innings of this Test. Just dreadful in this innings.

[Meridio]

Should try more yorkers. Hope for some reverse swing.

 

[Flem274*]

one thing we should take out of this is as good as our bowlers have been, it's too one dimensional and swing reliant (conventional + reverse). A bounce and/or genuine quick bowler to be the third seamer would be very handy for this attack instead of just three swing bowlers. I'm thinking the likes of Bracewell (sort of), Milne, Henry or Butler.

You can't really fault these three for their efforts though and none deserve to be dropped.

 

[straw man]

****ing radio comms 'he's bowled em!'

No, he hasn't. How is it?

 

[Flem274*]

Fortunately we've had this match to reassert that four seamers are the way to go for us

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Or maybe it did?

Don't forget Broad

Even if NZ won this match in the first session today I'd still hate Broad, so nothing new there.
