Posting from phone. Cbf. Congrats to Anderson and minimum. I think my phone just autocorrected minimum. Yes it did. Phone wac.

Our spinners not called vettori are worse than even our untested pacers. Please stop supporting them unless they have hope like sodji. Meets, tastle nccullum will never give us what we want. Kw is our second best and it was evident last night. Subcontinent batsmen especially will love our spinners so having two of them and Anderson is ********

THese ****s should be bowling long, tight spells. This is just awful bowling and bad captaincy. You can't just rotate your way out of trouble.

Pretty even session then, NZ still slightly on top but this is increasingly looking like a draw unless the pitch actually starts to do something

Not going to get too down after a slow session as wickets are bought dearly on this pitch, but we do need two more wickets before the second new ball to stay somewhat ahead of the game. At this stage it seems like that means we need Williamson to earn one or else are reliant on gifts from Bangladesh.

Bangladesh can't be relied on to give too many gifts if the Galle test against SL is anything to go by

Nah he is just to be bowled whenever everyone else is buggered for some reason despite the fact he is far better than the Ish and Bartin.
Just love how he got taken off as soon as he picked up the wicket. Its the good old "lets have the proper bowlers have a go at the newbie" logic.

He was first change today...
Why wasn't he kept on if he is a first change bowler?


The only answer I will accept other than he is low down on the pecking order is that NZ had plans for Shakib involving getting him out with spin based on video analysis.

For the same reason Boult's only bowled five overs today, it's ****ing hot. You're kidding yourself if you think it's a good idea to bowl someone like Corey Anderson in 5-7 over spells in this heat.
