I've got to say, I'm completely against this idea of the players listening into the commentary and then becoming a part of the "banter" with the morons in the box. Don't like it.

Might as well keep their bowlers out in the sun for a while, especially while Johnson is still having his last hit.

Yep. Would rather us just bat for as long as we can and leave fifteen or twenty overs so MJ can bowl a bit
I care about being entertained...

This Exactly.
Even if it did have no impact on him the whole thing just seems really weird and unprofessional to me, who knows maybe it's just a generational thing i guess if you grew up watching people like AB in charge this sort of over the top lovefest with the comms just doesn't sit right.

Just bat all day if we can. We are 1-0 up in a 3 test series and hold the trophy.
Wild card pink ball giggle fest coming up could be anyones game. Why would we bother pushing for a win?
In the same situation in an ashes series we wouldn't even dream of declaring

Hit out for 5 more overs. Get the lead to 330.
Get them in, set a heavy off side field and hang the ball outside off moving away. If they want to have a crack then go for it. Gives us a shot at getting a few before tea then it can become interesting. They aren't going to get 330+ from 50 overs

Then take your complaints to the curators.

A century would be great for Nevill's confidence.

McCullum should be sporting and bring himself on to bowl.

You do have the advantage of complete field control. But on this deck I don't think it's a foregone conclusion.

A T20 specialist then?
I wonder whether New Zealand would be tempted to have McCallum open the batting and try and turn it into a one day run chase?
If it fails and they lose early wickets then just shut up shop and play defensive...

Exact reason why we shouldn't declare nothing in it for us.
