Personally I think it was the right call, giving them enough time to get all 20 wickets. Especially in a championship game where all points matter, it has to be team before player. I have a strong dislike for Warner so that may be clouding my judgment. Would have been hilarious if they took him off on 299.
I am excited/nervous for the NZ series in Australia. NZ havent been flashy in test but they have been getting it done, not losing a series for multiple years now. A trip to Australia might be humbling though.

I agree, right call. You set declarations around what you need to do to take 20 wickets, then you can make minor changes for milestones. Another hour doesn't sound like much, but with rain around, you want to go for the win which means leaving time
