Certainly was a close one. Surprised guptill put so much faith in munro, but it definitely paid off. Those 2's at the end were perfectly timed. A bit worrying to see both mccullum and guptil failing to clear the boundary off what seemed like pretty average bowling. I mean a few full tosses and a few that seemed to be in the slot to hit straight back down the ground, and all it produced was wickets, and near misses.

Go the mighty black caps.

Good call McCullum putting them in against the best seaming attack on a greenish wicket

So with the leaked Shane Bond letter to the NZC board what do you think of the state of NZC is currently and do heads need to roll?

I think there is also just an aspect of us just not being very good at cricket these days.

Bond was an anomaly of an amazing fast bowler, we haven't really produced a world-class batsman since Crowe, and spinners? fuggedaboutit.

Our cricket culture seems to churn out medium-pacers, and I don't think that's the national team coach's fault.

Was a poor candidate anyway.

The devil's working through Hansie Cronje again. Obviously NZ winning matches in SA is the first sign that Armageddon is upon us.

That is an issue. I was thinking the same, particularly when Stuart Broad bowled a slow ball which was dispatched for 6 on the first ball of the 49th over. You just don't know, therefore leading to suspect thoughts. Is a shame really, as I doubt there is any match fixing but it does linger, which is a pitty.

OK Reality check.

England made that look easy, even tho we were 30-40 runs short.

We were Rooted

Well that was 10 overs of quality bowling by England at the start, 100 overs of NZ stuggling to be mediocre. (sorry 80 something overs)  
Lack of depth, a couple of injurys and we find no amount of grit and good luck would get us a win.

I wonder if any of the tests will run 5 days?

Not sure if Southee was trying though?

Edit: I enjoyed today's play also ,except Southees 4 ball gritty stand to try and avoid the follow on.

Southee is one of the most frustrating guys to watch bat. He has so much talent but he bats so brainlessly. Surely its time to send him down the order.

However i am hoping we can hold on. Supposedly there is bad weather on the way (and a cyclone threat), so it might be a case of seeing out day 4 with a few wickets in hand.
