What the fuckety fuck is going on ?
61/6 ?
Are the top order jet lagged from the flight from Ireland ?
Well done Jamieson on a terrific Michelle.
How many does Kylo need to make the honours board? 10?

Five. HE's on it now. A century or 5 in an innings I believe.

another five and a 50 and he could do a Dion Nash !
He only needs three wickets to beat Shane Bond and assuming he doesn't concede a million runs whilst getting them he'll beat Bonds outstanding average too......Jamieson continues to be an absolute test superstar when he isn't broken. Why do our truly elite fast bowlers always break ? this shit never happened across the ditch with Glenn Mcgrath, Pat Cummins etc.
I also hope ( in what looks to be a low scoring game ) Henry has some angry pills from not getting a wicket in the first innings.
Losing Henry was a big blow, very likely we would have rolled them for less given the conditions if he could bowl more overs. In Glen Phillips we trust.

Simon Doull lashed county cricket a few minutes ago. Circa 11.17pm for those who are recording
Nasser just ignored him
What did he have to say?

Just ignored the line of discussion. They were talking about England's lack of toughness in recent times. Doull was wondering if county cricket wasn't cutthroat enough because the comp is so big. Compared Oz and NZ domestic comps, said these were tougher because the numbers were smaller and guys were desperate to show out with less opportunities. Nasser just looked into the distance then went on about how they performed so badly in Australia last season

Henry starting to pick up a lot of injuries.
Harder being the main man than the bit player
Here we go blaming the pitch. How about blaming some terrible shot choices? Williamson's dismissal was really the only one where the bowler actually got him out the other dismissals were just poor decisions.
Play with a straight bat and maybe let a few balls go through to the keeper. No need to try and smack every ball to the boundary its test cricket after all. This T20 shit has stuffed players abilities to play genuine cricket shots when it's needed.

It can be both.

bugger, didn't realise he was injured. Everyone else certainly played their part though.

Yours and ours

He's always been injury prone. Had about three or four seasons mainly injury free and showed what he can do.

And dare I say it, Kane is starting on the slippery slope that begins once they reach the career phase of picking and choosing when they'll play.
Hopefully he'll still have a few legendary innings to go, but I fear they'll be fewer and further between...

I was thinking along the same lines. Hopefully he doesn't harm his legacy
Just seen the highlights again.
Not much wrong with the pitch. Five of the Black Caps top order (and our specialist keeper) either couldn't read or play for inswing. And Kane had little idea in his dismissal.
This time a batter playing well inside the line, but too far inside the line of the stumps...
Kylo erupts. Do I recall correctly that Kylo scored a 50 either on debut or in his early test career?
Yep, he has a test 50. Looked like a promising all rounder initially, till his batting got exposed a bit.

Yes.
Apparently Matt Henry is padded up and will bat next. He will warm up to bowl and see if he can bowl

If the poms keep feeding him short pitched stuff, he might get another one
All out, Jamieson denied the Honours Board. This morning mostly playing too far inside the line.
Is Robinson the guy whose career was stalled by something he posted on social media when he was 16?
Length and line will be critical for us. Kylo has started well. As I type he bowls a wide long hop and gets away with it. Just be patient boys, and let the pitch do it's magic
Jamieson and Smith right on line. So far the English batsmen haven't been good enough to nick one!
Ravindra with a really poor dropped catch. He's been a food bill in this test so far. Does he need his eyes checked?
Fuck wake up Ravindra you have sleep walked through the game so far.
Dropped 2 sitters and a first ball duck.
