@virgil I'm sure I don't know what you mean...
Twelve overs for the Lankans to face. I nominate Southee and Wagner full throttle since they did nothing with the bat.
Fuck old mate Southee gets shit on here. He got six fucken wickets!!!!
Says the man still merrily bagging Santner who has been out injured for nearly a year...!
You mean the all rounder who's not actually that good at either discipline?
So like many all rounders in NZ cricketing history, with a few notable exceptions?
Neesham and Anderson haven't played in a while, perhaps they need a few passing swipes at?
The Neesh could get hundies though....

That is true.
In any case Santner has no place in this team.

Southee ends up with 6 in both innings ... who gets MOTM, Timmah or Tommah?

Timmah. 12 wickets trumps any batting score (except freak outcomes). Much bigger contribution to the win.
Edited to correct to Timmah!

He could get all 20 fucken wickets and the haters would still whinge about his batting even after cracking a fast paced but irresponsible 68 off 29 deliveries.....

Not disagreeing with you but that was something like the 6th highest score by a NZ batsman and the first time a Kiwi opener has carried his bat in NZ. Highest score by any opener in test history to get through an entire innings. Pretty impressive.
I think 12 wickets would have been done a few times.

12 in a match puts him second equal behind Hadlee. Done twice by Vettori (weirdly, I dont' remember him doing this and spinnig people out. Once in Aus in 2000, and again against the Bangles over there).
So yeah, 12 in a match is amazingballs.

If I remember rightly Alan Border got a 10 fer....
But then again Jason Gillespie got a double ton....
Cricket is a funny game ( say that in a Geoffrey Boycott accent for full effect )
-
I’d give MOTM to Timmy if he got another 6fer.
The SL bowling attack really is poor. Their batting is better, albeit marginally.
Well done to Latham. A huge effort in concentration and application.

At tea on the second day 7 down with Dipak also not out on 40 odd. Looking at the scorecard it looks to have rained most of the next day which was probably the consideration.
Young, Sutcliffe, Kane and Fleming all had good chances at 300 but gave them up in the interests of the team. Sutcliffe was declared on only 2 down!!
Does really show that unless you are batting second on a road after giving up ~600 there is almost has to be a degree of putting the individual first to get there.

For all the shit Fleming got over his conversion rate he still cracked three double hundies.

I was at that day, I don't think the possibility of rain had much to do with it.
It was an extremely cold southerly and the Sri Lankans were miserable. Players fielding with their hands in pockets even as the ball was bowled.
They were put in for the last session because they had mentally checked outThe day was as famous for the couch burning as it was for Youngs innings:
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/back-in-day-scarfies-hijack-test-match-setting-fire-couches-carisbrook-terrace?variant=tb_v_2The fires started because people were cold. There were fires in metal trash cans before the couches. The couches just generated too much smoke

Yeah when he got past 100 he generally went big. For the last few years of his career (at least) he clearly had a mental block about triple figures and would often try and blast his way through the 90s and get caught.

Good record ( although he underachieved all things considered ) and outstanding captain. That to me is why he'll always get mentioned in an all time XI

Yeah from memory when you look at 50+ scores he ranks pretty well which is good indicator of his raw ability.
I think one of the things that stands out for me about Baz is his ability to go big. The triple, three doubles, and another few big 150s. Especially later in his career once he got triple figures he was hard to get arid of.
