NZ v SA Test Series

Great from Nichols, shows the bonus of picking a good young guy who can tweak his technique & grow into being a test player. Anbd has the time to be in that team for 8 more years.
As opposed to picking mid thirties guys.
Odd lack of "what would Guppy do at 5!" this morning...

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.

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

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.

You mean where he had been playing county, flew into India & without any warm up 24 hours later was playing a test & still looked our best spinner?

2 - 66 and 0 - 50 as the best spinner... damning with faint praise there. Especially when we allegedly missed out on Shane Warne during Patel's years in exile...
