One of the Big questions. Why did people ever think 'Justin Green' jokes were funny?

I could go for a pie actually. steak and cheese or potato top? life's tough decisions.

Gawd, I miss pies. Would commit murder for a decent steak and cheese.

Everything over here is a burrito. Burritos, burritos and more ****ing burritos.

I may be sceptical about Ryder's batting but conversely he's definitely a better bowler than Neesham right now. Though I think/hope Neesham's bowling might just click some time soon.

And they all taste the same after the second bite, because by that time all of your taste buds have been scorched off.

In other news, Faf's on fire.

Good that we're practising various challenging scenarios in this series. Try to defend a sub-par score last match and today is Practice chasing an enormous score day.

Feel for NcCullum TBH. He has done a decent job as our containing bowler in Vettori's absence. But Vettori is showing here that he can still do the job and just does it better.

Yessssssssssssss

Dat batting PP.

ABDV has faced four balls and he's just a different level

Vettori's extra bowling quality is more important against top quality opposition because they'll take NcCullum for 15-30 more off his ten overs. However NcCullum's batting and fielding is worth something too, and he could play our matches against weaker opposition while Vettori rests up. Yeah that sucks for NcCullum but it works.

Thank god McLaren can actually talk. These player interview/commentary things can be so awkward.

What do we consider a moral victory in the last 10 here? 90 runs?

Two absoluetly top class batsman set with some fire to come, they could easily put on 120+

 

[BeeGee]

Haha, that was awesome.

 

[straw man]

Anything under 310 would be ok from here for us. We have two overs left from Neesham/Anderson which are going to hurt.

Anything below 300.

Good knock.

Duminy's played more ODIs than Amla?

 

[Athlai]

Amla is such a gun.

 

[_Ed_]

Terrific hundred.

Boult isn't a natural death bowler.
