All out for 179.
Good innings of 42 by Matt Henry, who is developing into a very good test starter now that he's getting consistent opportunities.
Pretty much the only silver lining for NZ on a terrible day for us.
Aus not enforcing the follow-on and will bat again...

We reconfirmed that Southee can’t bat patiently to save his fucking soul or the team.Gumboot wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2024 4:50 am All out for 179.

Yep, his quality as a fine test opening bowler has never been in doubt.
He's a much better batsman than his stats suggest, but far too often he's looked like he's batting for himself without the disciplined approach the team needs.
A tail-ender with that kind of attitude should never bat higher than 11 imho, regardless of his obvious talent with the willow. The fact he's playing his 100th test but his highest test score of 77no came on debut is telling, I reckon.

Did NZ send their B team? Not much of a contest this.
“Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true.”
As if SA could do any better. Australia gave you an absolute pasting last time out.....
Most of our Saffer poaches are either injured or retired, so yeah, not at our strongest right now. Thankfully we still have one left to keep us in the game.
Hard to argue with any of those comments. I would always have him at #11 with his current attitude to batting.Gumboot wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2024 5:32 am Yep, his quality as a fine test opening bowler has never been in doubt.

Mental disintegration.
BC's heads are gone because our bowlers completely missed their marks (41 extras!) - 116 last wicket partnership?!?! I know that Aussie bat deep - but come on. Oh for Boult to be in the side.
Conway missing at the top (regardless of his terrible form) is a huge blow. Latham and Young don't really inspire confidence - neither having really done anything of note recently.
Just a terrible day for us - all summed up nicely by Southee shelling a catch off the last ball of the day.
