Oram skies one just over long-off.

Ain't going to happen, is it

 

[Richard]

It'll take a fair clatter to see us win this from here.

 

[_Ed_]

Flynn's looking very solid defensively at the moment. Great to see.

Having said that he'll probably miss a straight one next ball.

 

[Athlai]

Sidebottoms spell is surely almost over.

You never know with him, he kept going for longer at Napier. He's a real nuisance.

But Oram hits him for four!

Jeeys, never noticed that before, but Oram's second-innings record is awful.

Edged, TBF.

 

[Athlai]

Edged, TBF.

We'll take it.

 

[Richard]

Optimistic appealing, we're now reduced to.

Another 10 overs of this pair and NZ are pretty much out of t'woods.

 

[_Ed_]

And another!

 

[Richard]

Edged him again, couldn't have been all that much closer to being catchable to the slips. No more than 50cm or so over 'em.

 

[_Ed_]

Nice fielding by Sidebottom in his follow-through, that was hit hard.

 

[Athlai]

It's not broken!

 

[_Ed_]

No break!

McCullum will bat.

 

[Athlai]

Reckon he'll be looking for revenge too.

 

[Richard]

It's not broken!

No break!

McCullum will bat.

Beginning to look like it won't matter. More important to the rest of the series.

OK, here's a laff - Devon Malcolm is playing club cricket... as a batsman!

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

No break!!!

Hahahaha, suck on that Dick Dick

 

[Richard]

 

[_Ed_]

Reckon he'll be looking for revenge too.

Maybe I shouldn't go to bed just yet...
