4.6 RRR if declare now.
4 overs, chase 285, 5.28 an over. I suspect we see 6 overs, target 300, leaving 301 to chase in 52 overs, at 5.788 runs an over. Think McCullum would need to open to get a big move on the draw. The others are a little more sensible. BM would need to open to set the theme of the chase, otherwise probably a set up to get closer to attempt a chase down the track. We have seen the right armers targetting the cracks, and getting decent results, but ultimately too wide to need to play. The left armers could well come around the wicket giving them a much better angle at the cracks, and could be a minefield. Not convinced this will be a draw, but obviously most likely result. |

I expect Aus to bat at least another 10 overs. NZ could always implode, but I'd say that's pretty unlikely.

Smith might be young and fresh but to win tests you have to be fearless and have some Nuts. ????

Rain coming, but won't last longer than 20 minutes... Can make that up. Doubt we lose any overs.
|
|
By:
Smith strapping up. Can't see anybody padded up.

By:
Wake me up at some point. I do have a little interest in Aus but I need the dec. Whats the point of turning up if you don't want the win??????. Boring boring Aus. How times have changed.

6.2 an over required. FFS. Declare

Another padded up. Maybe just for show? Can't believe they would send another in. Surely not.
|

By:
Kwhaja is padded up too
|
|
By:
What is the point in this???
|

By:
Must be for show then. Khawaja won't bat...
And there it is. |

Dumped out of my draw lay. Although may get back in. Rain should be for about 15 minutes, will have a bit in it. May coincide with the teabreak though with any luck. Don't want to get caught on a draw lay when it rains, although surely it is already factored in.
NZ haven't had a draw in 12 months. 2 in 18 months. I believe they will come out with intent. May be able to at least sneak a 1.1 to 1.25 lay in . |

Rain 2:40pm
|
|
By:
Yeah, but sweeping through at about 40km/h so only about 10 minutes of rain in it. By the looks.
Looking for a couple of quick wickets, or quick runs. |

By:
And breaking up a little even by the looks.

pakis got 300 off 60 on a turning deck

By:
I'm of the opinion no have a better chance of winning this than Australia. I too think they will show intent in this chase. But if they get to 4-5 down they may shut down shop

By:
Already starting to be beyond them. Going to have to write this one off soon. Near end the game where I started. As per usual. Need to just walk the last day.

Question becomes now, can Aus bowl them out in 45 overs.
2 most attacking teams in cricket, have been 1 big fizz..... |

Showing zero intent. Outside of the bowler bowling wides and no balls, NZ are no hope here. Looking at a very sick book ffs.

Don't think this was ever on. Like an ODI chase that looks too high, the rate just keeps climbing and unlike ODI, very hard to make it up later on.
