Meanwhile, Pakistan waste a review.

Santner is an allrounder.

Test averages of 25 and 44.

Jamieson on the other hand averages:

54 and 14.5.

Just to put Santners all rounder statistics in perspective.

The 19 run differential between bat and ball compares to Jacques Kallis who averaged 32 and 55 to make a 23 run differential.

This post is unintentionally hilarious.

Unintentionally?

I put a lot of thought into that post.

We lost the toss (again - get it sorted Kane). Pakistan bowling.

Nice day in The Bay it seems.

Santner is in (hmmm).

Rosco most capped NZ cricketer of all time.

Southee and Boult bring up their 100th innings opening the bowling together, and Stuff has them as second on the all time list.

Stuff thinks Anderson and Broad are first, Wasim and Waqar third, then Ambrose and Walsh, and McGrath and Gillespie.

Actual quote from a typically brilliantly crafted Stuff article.

“I feel like I’ve bowled a lot with Timmy, but not that many times,” he says

@Gunner I don't care about cricket. This is the worst time for me on the Fern.

I'm glad that my cricket loving friends and whanau can watch cricket live at McLean Park though, and if it also annoys BoP fans in the process then that's just a bonus.

I can see why BoP fans would be annoyed.

Why should the Northern Districts Invitational XI have to play any games away from Bay Oval?

It's outrageous!

Little Kane with a Trevor Franklinish strike rate here....what’s going on ?

Been a tough first session. Survival is the most important goal

Meanwhile, up in Cricket Valhalla, there's an ad break on the telly.

Sir Jack Berry Hobbs nudges Stewie Dempster in the ribs. "You still don't make that team, Stewie!"

[Gunner]

Only following on cricinfo, but seems like pretty tough batting conditions this morning.

Kane and Ross battling away, hopefully things will be a bit easier after lunch and these two can keep going.

[Damo]

Honours even after first session. If pitch dries up and flattens out we could do well.

[Godder]

There's something oddly comforting about KW and Taylor batting together even it is only lunch on the first day.

[Godder]

Speaking of which, 100 partnership up, their 10th and Taylor also brings up his 50. Cricinfo thinks 10 century partnerships is NZ's most for any pair.

[Gunner]

Really good batting from these two, who have batted for pretty much two sessions after coming together at 2 for bugger all.

Batting got easier in that last 30-40 minutes, so here’s hoping they and the middle order can push on and capitalise on the good position they’ve got us into.

Time to put the hurt on them in the final session

That's because they're smart enough not to treat him like an allrounder.

He'd be averaging neither of those numbers if he batted at 7 and bowled with a ball 50 overs old before he touched it.

He's a kid concentrating on his core role. His batting is a bonus so far , looks organized, but his run output so far is based on aerial pulls, hooks, and slogs off spinners.

Williamson not out in the 90s overnight for the second time in a row.

He’s really quite good

If he gets out now, I'm requesting a long ban for you.

I’m way too much of a big deal round here, it would never happen

@MN5

To be fair, I missed the 'overnight' part (and I'm mostly watching the Aus/India match) which indicates that you didn't post until after the last ball of the over, so hopefully your jinxing won't work with a 12 hour delay.
