Will Southee get a wicket - if so, will he average under 69 with the ball in this Test? Those are the questions sane New Zealanders are presently asking themselves. |
It looks like the answer to my first question is a "yes" and "yes": Williamson has nearly doubled his series average to an 8.66 but Southee now averages 14.5 for the series. |

The story of that effort is in the mini-collapses:
3/24, 5/28 and 2/0. |

Smith lbw, not playing a shot to a shooter shortly after Tea on the first day. Shouldn't have been given out - but it's umpire's call.
What a crap pitch. |

| Green is charging Henry - coming two metres out of the crease to every ball. I have no idea why. Henry is a crap bowler. of course, but not that crap. |

| And now - as if to demonstrate what stupid strategy it was, Green wanders half forward from his crease and gets bowled. |

They really do need to put SPD BradSmith back in the middle order to shore it up - Head and Marsh have both tnhrown their wickets away, cheaply, again. The lineup just looks flakey with Australia's best batsman thrown to the wolves at the top of the order.
6/166. The lead is 4. The game, however, looks lost.
Henry has bowled a huge pile of half-paced, unthreatening crap - but has 5-fer: that tells you everything you need to know about Australia's middle-order batting. |
