Ben on...a five-day test

1st test: The 55-run opening partnership got me interested, the 90-run second-wicket partnership got me hopeful, but the 172 runs still required keeps me circumspect.

Also, that run out of Ryder's is the sort of snag that could start the unravelling of the whole innings.

Honestly speaking I think NZ will get the runs but its going to be very tight. If they loose an early wicket it could be very interesting.

But I think Vettori will fight it out .

So glad test cricket is back!

Ps- how about a link exchange bro.

I'm happy about Vettori being around for the start of play today, because he always gets the scoreboard ticking over and will likely release the pressure on Redmond and others. I think NZ should win, but only if the pitch stays firm. either way they would have learnt some good hard lessons from this game.
