Gary Stead has the ultimate cruisey job these days. Paid to travel around and watch cricket, and every second game the team he’s in charge of doesn’t even bother to front…

And he's presided over the worst Blackcaps season performance since 2012, 0-4 to India, loss to Bangladesh where team looked woefully prepared & tactically inept, the capitulation against South Africa (and only winning 1st test because SA players had been sitting in MIQ unable to train).

Is the ball doing a bit? It's not that humid.

Just woeful shot selection from a haplessly inconsistent top order.

Just got home, what a shocker !

[Donsteppa]

CdG reverted to park cricketer stereotype with that innings.

[Crucial]

van Beek doing no harm to his aspirations to play for NZ.

[MN5]

Thank god all rounder Doug Bracewell is there to steady the ship

[Chris B.]

Bloody hell!!!

We don't even have a Timmy cameo to rely on!

[Chris]

Great recovery from Latham and Bracewell.

[Chris]

Great 100 by Latham he may have saved NZs arse.

[Chris B.]

@mn5 Picked a good day to live up to his billing!

This is pretty good recovery all things said. Obviously you hope not to lose 5 wickets in 10 overs but it does happen.

Latham has been masterful. Not such a great final over though.

Aged like milk! 16 off the over

I will take credit for the last 3 balls.

[Cyclops]

I know it's not top tier opposition (not that you'd know that from the start of our innings) but that's a great century from Latham.

I think we still need to bowl well to defend this but Latham has given our bowlers enough runs to have a fair chance.

[Donsteppa]

Tom Latham and the Ten Passengers Show.

[Donsteppa]

Tickner might be fast, but he's all over the place.

[Donsteppa]

Heh, better start to his second spell, a half-tracker gets hit down deep square leg's throat.

[Donsteppa]

Sodhi has been turning it square, that's an overdue/well deserved wicket.

[Donsteppa]

Tickner would have had a second wicket if Bracewell didn't catch like me on the boundary...

[Donsteppa]

M. Bracewell makes up for the batting by turning a massive offbreak through the gate. 😊
