Days of Grace
International Captain
He's got more chance later when the bowlers will be hopefully knackered.

Haha am I? It's definitely an overexposure to Australian people that has caused it. Plus flies. I absolutely hate flies.
Nah I love Melbourne, the locals are good folk, and there's some bloody knowledgeable ones on CW. Honestly, I think it's the CH9 product that wears me down. I'm no T20 fan but the Big Bash has widowed the mrs, top coverage and gee there's been some belting matches.
But CH9 is like the tap water over here. It's ****, but I have no other choice but to consume it.

Agreed.
Wouldn't mind seeing the ratings on mccullum's 195, Sanga's double and whatever Kane gets here when you get the chance btw.

Massive loss of confidence in his technique, not being able to adjust to being a captain, trying to turn himself into an IPL T20 player and suffering as a result, NZ going back to the Green decks it used to have.

Not if you've watched Test cricket at this ground in the last couple of years.

Systemic of most of our pitches on that style of clay though, I don't think they offer enough on Day 5.

What would we take this session? Another 80/0 or say a 120/4? Do we want a session or just half a session bowling at them today if we go for the win? Or do we just grind them into the ground, put 350-400 up and leave it to whether or not out bowlers are brilliant tomorrow?
Personally like the idea of getting 20 overs with this ball today, to give us a crack with the second new ball tomorrow.

I'd take a chase of 300+ and put them in tonight.

The 80/0 option by far for me. We're 1-nil up remember & won't a 1-0 series result be enough to get us up to 5th on the test rankings, or do we need to win it 2-0 for that?
The ICC ratings predictor seems to be down atm.

The series doesn't matter, we need points from this match either from a draw or a win to go up to five. The game itself is in consideration, winning a series gives us no further points except to say that we would've got more points from each of the games.
Say for instance we were on the same amount of points but drew the first match instead, drawing this match and having an 0-0 series would still give us the points.

They're not mutually exclusive things.
