This Phillips fellow is making it turn.

When the Aussies carried on after taking a wicket they called us bad sports. This guy’s dancing like he won the WC after every wicket and it’s a “wonderful display”

My goodness that ball is moving a lot!?

GOAT can do it all. TV tech as well.

I stand completely corrected if wrong, but I always thought that if it hits the batsman on the full..foot, pads..that you rule on the projection of the ball..it doesn’t take into any assumed deviation off the pitch. However, as I said I might be wrong.

Looks like it will be over in the morning session, or a little after lunch. Gosh the Kiwi batting order is as fragile as glass.

realistically once u get Williamson and ravindra out they dont have anyone else to contribute a big score, though Mitchell can be a handy batsmen for them as well

Yep.. Least we can watch the footy without being distracted by the cricket, as it will be all over!

take away greens 170 odd and it's a pretty even contest. we've been lucky over the last few tests with 1 or 2 individuals making a score and setting us up for the win..

I thought the exact same thing!

ps. and the ninth wicket partnership of 119 between Green and Hazelwood..that was pivotal.

Green was crucial in taking the game away from the Black Caps, but Lyon should have been given MOM, with a 10 fer and topping the 2nd innings which prevented a collapse.
