Now, who was busy telling us yesterday that the days of the craps were long gone?
I think we might have to ban him from posting jinxes for the day before each Black Caps match.
So waking up to CricInfo, I see the pointless in Tests uneconomical Santner even managed to bowl a no ball.

Disappointing from almost everyone but Conway. We've had two opportunities to really take control of this match and missed both.
On the other hand, our four best batsmen failed, but we still got to 378 so at least it's realistic to hope for improvement from others. Plus the lack of warmup time etc and we have no shortage of our favourite excuses for why the black caps will be better next time.
Neither side has a decisive advantage at the moment, but overall our position is better so hopefully we can pick up a couple of early wickets tonight.

Well, got niggly starts is probably a more accurate way of putting it but you’d bank on at least ones of them improving considerably next innings.
Wailing can be excused cos we all know he only gets runs in a crisis.

He’s certainly giving the haters a lot of ammo. He’s basically this generations Chris Harris’s but he keeps getting fucken picked !

Very much a Chris Harris, he's genuinely one of the first picks in the shorter form of the game, but for anything longer than 50 overs...

@majorrage so he got his hundy and double hundy with 6s!! fuck yeah bro.
Man, I wonder how many runs he had left in him - looked like he was ready to bat another full day

Hard to know - but, quite a few, I reckon.
I don't want to over-hype the guy, but on averages alone - he's twice as good as Bradman!

Looks like Robinson will be axed for the second test as the ECB wants to make an example of him. They also say they'll be vetting players social media accounts more stringently because heaven forbid they miss something mildly offensive on there before selecting a player.
I just absolutely can't stand this culture that is being created. I also know for a fact that the people enforcing these rules are far from perfect. They have done stupid shit themselves, they've offended people, they've told bad jokes, they've done everything they punish others for. How do I know that? Because they wouldn't be human if they hadn't.
Absolutely nobody is safe from this shit. It needs to stop, and corporations need to stop pandering to the perpetually offended because they are amplifying this 100 fold. Do we really want to create a world where everyone is stepping on egg shells lest they offend someone and lose their livelihood? What kind of fucked up utopia are these people trying to achieve here?
