NZ v SA Test Series

[Gunner]

Holy shitballs.
Step off a plane, check cricinfo, cannot believe my eyes!
How impressive is that century looking now?

[mariner4life]

The jig music and claims of smiling eyes can fuck right off

@Gunner don't worry, am sure it wasn't your boy I saw running around town today by himself

[Chris B.]

Come on Jeetan.

We've given you one frigging job to do today - get on and do it!

[MajorPom]

SA in some ways remind me of us. I see us at 100/6, I give up hope. Then I login a few hours later and see somehow or other we made 300 odd.

You get SA at 100/6, I feel ok ... but then there is still a decent chance of them making 300.

Fucken cracker day in the capital. PERFECT conditions for cricket....or in my case to sit in the pub and watch on TV.

Odd lack of "what would Guppy do at 5!" this morning...

Odd lack of "Jeetan Patel is the Second Coming of Christ" recently too

Jeetan takes 0 for 50 off 10 overs. Wagner's been equally expensive with 1 for 75 off 17.

Jaapies with a chance to press on for a decisive advantage - though while I'm typing Wagner takes offense at being likened to Jeets and gets Bavuma.

So we also have a chance to wrap them up conceding only a modest advantage and require them to bat last on a pitch that might offer a small amount of assistance to the fiery and terrifying Jeetan!

Don't worry. He'll get the last wicket and @Hooroo @Virgil @No-Quarter will want to have his babies, guaranteed.

Jappies 9 down and 50 odd ahead. How many overs until stumps? We don't want to bat an uncomfortable last 20 minutes or something, best for our bowlers to tank the last few overs

....and let them get more vital runs?

Either that or open with Jeets squared....the useless prick bowler ( the other jeets is ok ) needs to pull finger somehow. Maybe nightwatchman could be the answer.

[canefan]

If we're less than 15 minutes from stumps knock the bastards over now

Just coz I said don't get him out didn't mean bowl them meat pies and let them run the score up!

This is Gillespie and McGrath embarrassing.

I was thinking of a longer term campaigner based on stats in the World Beating English County Cricket comp

Very few real 'bunnies' in international cricket nowadays. I think 'inconvenient' is a better word.

[mariner4life]

Fuck us. Rolled by Duminy and now carted by their tail. Jesus boys, such a Black Caps move.

If you guys are expecting any NZ spinner to look like a legend day 2, in NZ, on NZ tracks you maybe haven't watched much NZ cricket... or you are thinking back to the golden age of Vetorri or Bracewell taking 5'fors on day 1 or 2 in NZ. That happened right?

I'm more worried that our "premier" quicks can't knock over a tail on a NZ day 2 pitch

I have few expectations of Patel. Even when he got that long howled for Black Caps recall in... oh... India. Except in county cricket when he'll be a legend.
