NZ lose by 170 runs -WTF?!
After a bit more Southee magic in the morning (including his first 10 for in a game), we had a target of 238 to win the game. Awesome. Difficult but gettable. Even if we got close that would be pretty magic.
Under two hours later we had lost and been thrashed. Fucking unbelievable. The top six contributed a total of 29 runs. Broad and Anderson were devastating.
Seems hard to believe that we could have been so competitive for 3 and a bit days then lose it all in an hour and a half. I feel gutted for the Blackcaps and us supporters.
Nothing for it but some significant batting practice over the next few days and pray to the invisible deity of your choice that we can get some runs and turn things round in the next one. Seems like Martin and Watling will be crocked for the next game, so Guptil and A.N.Other to play, probably Bracewell.
Ass biscuits.
