So we are having a bowl after winning the toss.

We have never lost at Uni Oval apparently. That's neat!

We seem intent on breaking that run

No Quarter

Getting smacked.

Great start, least we have a strong batting side at the moment

David Lloyd is by far my favourite commentator. He is just so funny

I like him and Nasser. Better than the fawning Mark Nicholas

mariner4life

I find Nasser as boring a commentator as i found him a batsman, but Bumble is class

Anything is better than Mark Nicholas

We've nabbed one, and dragged the run rate back.

Scott Styris (Fatter)

Actually Styris was a handy 10.

Played for Putaruru against him for Hamilton Old Boys in the mid 90s.

Santners catching seems to be improving..

Nasser is an arrogant shit stirring bunny of the super fluffy variety.

And if he refers to it being winter again I'll... I'll ... I'll post my indignation on TSF.

Nice to see we are playing in the confidence of their top players before the test series.

mariner4life

we are going to be chasing a million

Hoping for a few extras but still think 20,000 an over is doable on this wicket

Chris B.

Smithy suggesting 400, but I think 386.

Likely be too many however many.

Gunner

Bye bye series.

We’ll be chasing something huge here.
Can already see how it’ll play out.

Munro caught at the mid wicket boundary after hitting the previous ball for 6.
Guptill will scratch around wasting balls and before we know it we’ll be 100/5 needing 12 an over to win.

Gunner

Sheesh, they’re doing a Black Caps and collapsing.

3 quick ones for bugger all here, is there a glimmer of hope of restricting them to only 350???

Edit: 4 quick ones...

No Quarter

4 for 9 in the last three overs. It's always difficult to keep a run rate like that going for 50 overs. We've got a chance to limit them to something chaseable here.
