[Snowy]

Absolute gem from Boult!

Bring on the golden arm of the park cricketer

Won't be too far away I would think.

[Mokey]

Just saw a clip of Boult's wicket. Fuck that was a PEACH. (Just wish it was Warner he'd done it to.)

[Donsteppa]

I wonder if Santner will try a variation that turns today.

Not sure that is in his repertoire.

Got to get a wicket before lunch.

[Donsteppa]

Bah and humbug. Lots of near opportunities, but...

Yep. Warner, Labusha, Larbuch, Lububach the Aussie number 3 and Smith are just going to kill us if they get any time and the pitch already looks like it is getting easier.

[Mokey]

Wagner strikes, Southee takes a great catch, and we don't have to see Warner doing his little five-foot baby roo jump for a 50.

On a side note, the Australian fans getting pissy on Twitter at NZ fans because of booing is comical.

[Chris B.]

Needed Marnus to nick one of those that he nearly did.

A bit disappointing to get Burns so early and then only get one more having put the Aussies in. The Oz commentators saying we really needed three having done that and I agree.

Aussie comms also having a go at Nigel "that could have been anything" Llong over one a run decision about avoidance of a bouncer that was deemed a no run.

Have a look at some test deciding decisions that he has made!

[Snowy]

@Chris-B One more would certainly have been nice but they haven't run away with it yet.

[Chris B.]

@Snowy Yeah - it's not horrendous - but, you want to make decent inroads, because the choice you've made is based on doing so. I want them at least five down by tea.

[Xpat61]

@Chris-B
Five down would be very handy!
Record crow too...

[Donsteppa]

Should’ve played Raval as our spinner #ReverseJinx

[No Quarter]

Fuuuuucckk why did we bowl???

[Godder]

@No-Quarter supposedly the pitch gets better for batting over time, so the best time to bowl is first.

I'd have batted though.

[Chris B.]

FFS Kane - take the gift!!!

Nearly three stumps to aim at and Marnus stranded - can't hit!

[No Quarter]

Kane butchers a run out. Just had to bounce it to Southee. Pretty disappointing stuff at this level, what a let off.
