Henry is carving them up

Henry clearly reading the fern and telling us all to get fucked and that he does belong at this level.

Don’t be cynical and ruin his moment. He still has time to be our best pace bowler ever.

Yeah, Henry is consistently bowling in very good areas, they reckon it rained for 3 days in a row just before the test, so ideal conditions for his style of bowling, he could've have easily had 5 wickets in the morning session, thought Jamieson bowled really well too, getting swing & bounce, was unlucky not to get a couple more.
Hopefully we keep the foot on the throat & continue chipping out wickets. -
commentators saying that the surface was less threatening just before lunch (although that could have been just CDG trundling in), eitherway happy to see top order knocked over and puts us in a good position
and I wonder how much we can thank to finally winning a toss lol

With the sun drying the wicket out it's looking a bit easier to bat on... if we can manage to knock over their two current batsmen within the first hour after lunch we will be a great position.

One down!

Boult must be watching this swing pondering whether being there for his kids birth was really worth it

if we are honest, we gave England enormous shit for turning up in Aus with a batting lineup probably better than this

Based on the SA v India series, SA's current tactic is to try and roll you for less than they got rolled for.

That didn't look a great review but it was cannoning into leg stump.
Huge performance from Henry

5 in a session and a half is a decent day out
Edit. 6 in a session and a half is a decent day out

Agreed, will be interesting to see how we go batting on this pitch, given there is still movement. Hopefully a whole lot better!

Stead confirmed last night that Nicholls will move up to 4 and Mitchell will bat at 5. If Henry replaces Boult then it is CdG vs Ravindra for the 7 spot.
Apart from saving the first test in India I'd suggest Ravindra hasn't exactly ripped up trees. Considering his record in NZ conditions, despite his poor performance of late, I'd probably pick Colin
Yeah, Ravindra has done stuff all, Colin would have to start over him... also with Williamson missing we need as much experience as we can get in our batting against a team like South Africa.
Hope Matt Henry isn't picked in the 11, why does this bloke continued to get selected in test squads ? ...he doesn't swing it, doesn't use a slower ball or use the width of the crease, he totally relies on a seaming wicket, his bowling average is very poor, 46.

Just want to acknowledge NZBloke for this superb rant writing off Henry before the match, ensuring he goes on to take a bag of wickets.
