    When Broom was first selected I had thought he was an allrounder, so maybe that was a premonition Chiefy...

    We can but hope. Hooroo you doomsayer. OUr top order will go off and set a massive score for the Ockers, who will then get it off the back opf a Ponting ton...

    Theoretically though, if he pulls the same hammy in this match, he won't be able to get a runner.

    If he pulls it again that would be a new injury surely? Anyway, if he does a hammy I'm sure it will be the 'other' one.

    AND WE'RE OFF...

    so, lets start now, has there ever been a worse batsman opening international cricket than Ingram? He makes my footwork look like Fred Astare at his dancing in the rain best...

    He has the technique of a tail-ender with a good eye, he is a walking wicket.

    It is actually quite embarrasing for NZ cricket that he has been selected as an opener for the national side with a technique like that. A middle order batsman or all rounder... maybe. But opener?? FFS!

    What's the story with Jesse Ryder's "abdominal" surgery?? Did he have his stomach stapled?

    Please just keep working it around Taylor. No more slog sweeps until the 40th over thanks.

    Well if he does bowl, I hope your premonition proves accurate. I'm hoping we don't have to find out

    Some dark clouds starting to appear over my way, still looks pretty good in Hamilton though. No rain from these dark clouds yet though.

    124/3 after 22, good partnership between Taylor and Broom, excellent running of singles. Taylor looking good which probably means he is just about to hole out.

    Almost right. Broom holes out.

    Broom gone now, edged Johnson to slip. Must be very close to his last chance in the side now. Was actually looking alright today from the little bits I have seen...

    Another gritty performance needed by Styris. He certianly has the tempermant but I am worried that his 'fued' with Johnson is playing on his mind

    Dues to Johnson not smacking him with a bouncer first ball. Goes to show his head is on straight too. Curses that he is bowling so well

    Taylor again throws his wicket away after getting past 50. He must be filthy with himself. I suppose the weight of expectations on his shoulders is pretty massive...
