The top order

Hmmm, so John Bracewell's new (top) order has managed six low scores in a total of six innings. But can anyone see him admitting he might have got the selection of the side wrong?

And talking about big egos, was anyone surprised to see Scott Styris respond to being hit by Fidel Edwards with the most rash and aggressive of strokes - despite New Zealand's already precarious position?

How's 37 was alright, surely. (I didn't see any of it however and I note he got out hooking.) Considering how he got out in the first innings, I think we can give him the benefit of the doubt.

I do agree with the criticism of the top order selections though. It was clear in the first innings that some experience was needed.

No analysis can explain the current collapse however. It's the old third innings blues again.

Mathew Sinclair has just hit his third century in a row in the domestic competition. And Jacob Oram hit 60-odd in the same innings.
