We've at least got it well into the territory of 'runs on the board'

hydro11

Can't see Southee scoring runs against quality fast bowling.

Chris B.

Broom just survives and gets six instead of out.

Santner not so lucky.

247/7 - still nearly five overs to go.

MN5

Yep, we have 'something to bowl at' so to speak.

Stink that one of Guppy or Neesh couldn't go on.

Chris B.

Tim does fuck all.

Donsteppa

Handscomb bats wonderfully and keeps terribly.

A good call to have stuck with the Santner/Southee batting order.

Mokey

Southee you fucking dumb fuckstick. All you had to do was stay around for a few overs.

Donsteppa

Broom the batting saviour. What a summer and comeback for him so far.

MN5

Southee does getting a fucken hard time on here for his anything I must say....

Some of it deserves to be fair.

Mokey

Santner wasn't much better. Stupid, stupid decision making. If we don't bat out our overs, will be a crime.

Broom playing very well. Good on him, giving us a chance.

The sourness and bitterness that goes with supporting the Caps. Or maybe that goes with being a regular on here

Donsteppa

... and can we have Broom in the test side instead of the ever scratchy Nicholls?

[/clutching at straws. New great hope]

MN5

Ha I meant batting....auto correct made my post even better

Donsteppa

All hail the New Broom. 73(75).

Runs on the board.

Virgil

Clearly next game Boult should be batting above Santner (maybe even Munroe)

MN5

We'll end up 50-60 short of a really good total.

But better than it was looking for awhile....

hydro11

Australia bat deep but don't have any world class batsmen in their team. I think we have a decent chance of defending that score.

@hydro11 Loving your optimism. If Trent bowls like he batted, who knows?

Mokey

Nice cameo at the end by Boult. Least that is a half decent total to bowl at. But we'll need to bowl tightly and take the catches first time.
