While it's not going to be a big score it's enough if we get a case of the skittles. It'll all hang on Boult I think.

A couple of early wickets and we'll be in danger of falling apart. Would be nice for Warner to do something today

We're going to need the good kind of Southee batting lunacy now.

Smith will get a century and his highest score (106). Dan will get a hattrick including Clarke for a golden.

NZ will win by 4 runs with Dan taking another one-hander on the boundary for the final wicket.

They flash out a morse code advert for a cement manufacturer.

This might still be a competitive match.

If Southee finds his length, and Boult catches fire, and Australia start blowing chunks.

Yeah. That's a lot of ifs.

gently caress if they could just limp to 200 I'd be happy. Gonna require more runs from our 9 10 and 11 than we got from 1 2 and 3, but still.

webmeister: Jan 31, 2007; The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
