Nice run out Santner. I guess when you’re a part rounder you really need to take all opportunities that come your way.
Earned his dinner, for tonight anyway

Yeah it’s not quite a Botham ashes 1981 effort so far is it ?

He's got to do something to try to justify getting in Patel's way. Boult skittles Shah and now the follow on is suddenly looking tougher

Well yeah but I see the argument for them selecting him even if I disagree with it completely. If he goes then Patel bats 10 or 11, Jamieson goes to 7 and all of a sudden the tail looks really long. Santner does have a test ton which the selectors will use to fall back on. The best he can manage in this innings is two wickets ( tailenders at that )......can he actually make any impact in the 2nd innings ? ( which will hopefully be very soon )

Live stats are a funny old thing.......
It's common fern wisdom that Boult pretty much walks into an all time test team with a very good record of 274 wickets at 28.02........But Southee has 298 wickets at 28.63 and is pretty much never mentioned..........over their careers that's a difference of precisely fuck all.......I wonder why Boult is so much more revered and admired than Timmy ?

Dick move from Jamieson. No need to throw it at the batsman.
This. Very disappointing.

Didn't see it but is it really ? we've been the nice guys of cricket for years and years. Isn't a bit of mongrel good in some cases ?

Was OTT IMO.
He threw it at the batsman. Couldn't pretend it was anywhere near the stumps.
And no.

Again, didn't see it but if it is like you describe then that is pretty shit. Hopefully youthful hotheadedness that will subside as he gets older because fuck me days he's a talent and then some.

Pakistan all out for 239 and that's stumps. Faheem unfortunately falls for 91, but they avoid the follow on.

That's niggly but at the very least the BCs don't have a couple of annoying overs tonight.
Tom squared will want to atone for the first innings ( says MN5 wisely stating the fucken obvious )

Boult's ODI record is superb. Different game but it plays into people's perceptions.

If it was a straight pick between the two and we are playing at home, I’d pick Southee.
-
@MN5 they've picked Sanga as the keeper when I'm fairly certain he didn't keep at all during the decade. That's not fair on other keepers as it's damn hard keeping and batting in a test.
Also Anderson and Broad? They don't exactly strike fear into the opposition unless they are at home and the ball is hooping around.
-
Speaking of milestones, Southee takes 2 in an over to leave Pakistan at 60/5, and he moves to 298 test wickets - 2 to go to be our 4th bowler to reach 300.
Edit: as pointed out, 3rd.

4th? Hadlee and Vettori both passed 300 wickets. Is there another player who I can't remember?

Yeah not sure they get in to be fair.
As good as our team has become we can’t really gripe with KW being the only one to walk in.
Kallis shits all over Stokes but only played three years so that counts him out.

Kept in one test apparently. About as much of a joke as the English guys in that team.

Seems as good a spot as any to post this. I wouldn’t have Stokes, Boult, Starc or Hazelwood possibly sneak in or maybe AB De Villiers depending on the team balance ?....rest seems ok though

Genuine question ... does anybody remember the English bowling attack being the best of the decade?
It may well be a fair reflection of the decade results, I honestly don't know.
