Virgil

he's just as likely to break down in training, walking to the gym

they over do this protecting a player

I know.....what are they saving him for ? all the rest of the tests we're playing this summer ????

Donsteppa

Given his history (if they hold him back), so that they don't play him for one game and then lose him for another six months for all formats...

Happiest person on planet will be Mini Steppa if Jamieson does play (favourite player).

There are a couple of posters that know much more about bowling loads etc than I'm aware of though.

Are you going to the 3rd test Mr Steppa? My current plan is to attend on Friday - 2nd day.

Donsteppa

@KiwiPie I'll definitely be there on the Saturday with my keen opening bowler in tow. Hopefully on the Friday for the final session - will aim to catch up on the bank.

Excellent from Roach. Bowls Latham for 11.

Conway looking decent at the other end. Bishop talking up Roach, saying he has KWs number !

Edges a boundary to get off the mark. Slightly streaky.

Gunner

That was a great delivery to get rid of Latham.

Yeah, Roach is a trooper. The Cricket fan in me hopes he gets 300 wickets, just not this series !

Gunner

Ooooh Conway dropped at leg slip.

Shields is doing his best Coldplay impersonation out there with the bat.

Coldplay could probably jump on the East by west to throw down some overs when we need him.

Bit further for him to go now. He's stepped 'up' to being the owner-operator of New World Taumarunui. I assume he's moved there too.

MN5

Ah fuck !

KW doesn't get out for 37......this isn't to script.

Hell of a delivery from Philip, clean bowled just before lunch.

Gunner

Williamson bowled by another pearler of a delivery.

Bugger, just before lunch too.

103/2

Given that we made virtually identical posts I'm sure you'll agree that there is no Bazball type irresponsible shit happening here. Both balls to dismiss Latham and KW have been absolute beauties.

Cyclops

Almost identical first sessions on day 1 and 2. About 100 runs, 2 wickets, bowlers spraying it but also looking dangerous when they get it right.

MN5

Ravindra gone first ball after lunch. Probably didn't need to have a hoon at that. Caught behind off Roach.

As someone on here said he can be vulnerable early on as this has shown.

117/3. Mitch Jr in.

Gunner

Fark sakes.

Lost 3 for fuck all.

Talk of Phillips batting six but Hay has come in on debut there instead.

Excellent first class figures. Certainly doesn't look out of place there.

Gunner

Fuck again after all the hard work, a wicket 10 minutes before the break.

A big first innings lead is not looking likely particularly with Tickner unable to bat.

MN5

50 on debut brought up with a lovely boundary from Hay.

Just the 4th keeper batsman to do this on debut for NZ. Well played son. Much needed.

McCullum, Ronchi and Blundell the first three to do so.
