It will need Taylor being able to occasionally hit the ball in the middle of the bat, and BMac taking the batting seriously.

But that Oz bowling attack has not performed as well as the commentators wanked on about, it's a real shame we had those 20 minutes of madness on Day 2, otherwise we'd have got 450-500 too. Gonna be tougher in the second innings, but if there is an NZ batting line-up to pull something out in this type of situation, it's this one. I have a feeling Lyon will be the crucial bowler in the last innings, Starc is easily their best but Johnson and Hazelwood are both overrated (Johnson massively so, at least the current version of him).

Agree that Johnson's best days are behind him but he can still tear us to pieces - he loves bowling against us. His test bowling average against us is 18.48. His next best record against another nation is 25.64 vs South Africa and his career average is 28.01.

I fudgeing hate the guy with a passion.
