There was a lot more discipline than last week.
New Zealand batted pretty well yesterday. That probably doesn't read too well when you've just seen the top-order collapse for the third time in as many innings, this time all out for 150.
But they did play well. It was the sort of wicket where they were on a hiding to nothing. The application was there, they gutsed it out and I didn't see too many of them get out to stupid shots. There was a lot more discipline than last week.
The simple fact is that when the ball is deviating up to 31cm before it reaches the stumps, it's kind of difficult to play.
The irony is they would have posted a better total if they'd played like they did last week. But after the grief they have got for their poor, undisciplined performance at the Gabba, nobody was going to have the courage to make that call.
