    Mitchell turning down runs, what’s the point ? Fuck all is still fuck all.

    Well done Carse on a maiden Michelle.

    Well done Will O’Rourke for scoring his first runs in NZ

    O’Rourke isn’t the worst number 11 going around. Seems to perform his supporting task really well.

    Solid technique.

    Mitchell loves batting against England.

    Wonderful six down the ground

    O'Rourke lasted longer than quite a few of the top order in the end.

    So England would be chasing about 250 if we could catch. Probably wouldn't be enough although obviously starting our second innings without much if any deficit obviously changes things.

    At least we have some obvious improvements that could have a major impact on our performance!

    We held onto a catch! Actually, that's a handy little victory. Crawley's record against us is abysmal, so it would added insult to injury if he'd breezed his way to a 50 in a simple chase like this.

    What's the bet Stead gives them the next day and a half off, instead of putting them straight back into the practice nets and the outfield where they deserve to be...

    Every single time I’ve actually sat down and watched Zak Crawley bat he has been absolutely shit.

    Good to see this continue

    Seems apt to share this again.

    The key question is to definitely make sure I’m actually watching him bat. I’ll make sure I do all series.

    2 of the worst blackcaps performances I've ever seen (in about 40 years) have happened in the last 5 tests. Galle 2, and then this.

    Worst I've ever seen was v Windies 95 at the Basin. I didn't see the Inzmam triple century match, that would match it.

    @Rapido

    Go back another 5 tests and you get the first test vs Bangladesh and the second test against Australia.

    Overall this has been a rubbish year of test cricket, that somehow included our single best series result.

    Which we long suffering BC supporters will dine out on for many many years….

    England made light work of that hundred odd runs. Have to applaud that sort of stuff.

    This kinda contradicts itself.

    Sure a test loss is disappointing but let’s not forget that England are also horribly inconsistent at the moment and prone to exactly the sort of collapses and shit performances we have dished out. I think they’re 10 wins and 9 losses after today ?

    No reason the BCs can’t win the next two.

    My team for the next test……

    Latham
    Young
    KW
    RR
    Mitchell
    Phillips
    Blundell
    Smith
    Henry
    Southee
    O’Rourke

    Conway gone. We can’t keep carrying him.

    Chance for Young at home, give him the next two tests at least.

    KW is KW

    Ravindra needs to put the dumb shit away, some shit cricket from him to get out like he did.

    Mitch needs to remember it’s England.

    Phillips will have more chance of a bigger score batting one spot up.

    Blundell there cos there’s no one else.

    Pacers all did ok and created chances, provided there is a shitload of fielding drills during the week we should be better in that department.

    If we aren't going to bowl much spin, could we give Phillips the gloves and if he really needs to bowl get one of Conway or Latham to glove up for his spell? To me Blundell is way too long between drinks to keep his spot.

    Yeah Mitch Hay is worth a chance good wk and a good bat,
    He can’t go any worse than Blundell.
