    Doug Bracewell replaces the injured Wagner in the only change for New Zealand.

    I still remember that one. Was at work with half a dozen other cricket tragics and we all went nuts when we got the last wicket.

    @dogmeat

    Conway is whistling along out there while Latham is content to just hang around. They make a pretty good duo I think.

    Conway nudges the average over 50 again.

    Latham gone and its the 1st innings, not the 4th so no way KW will get runs. Absolutely NO chance.

    It’s funny, the much maligned Nicholls has a career ( so far ) remarkably similar to Jeremy Coney. More tons ( 8 vs 3, that one surprised me ) but at a lower average ( 36 vs 37 ). 2760 runs in 54 tests vs 2668 runs in 52 tests.

    Identical top score ( 174 ) as well.

    I was only a kid but I look back on the Mantis’s career quite fondly…..whereas I look at Nicholls as a guy who started well and has turned to shit.

    Does Coney get more of a pass cos of the era he played ? The truly legendary pace bowlers he went against ?

    Does Nicholls get maligned for his own form mirroring that of the team since our greatest moment in test history ?

    @MN5 Jerry took ages to get his first hundred - I think it was a decade after his debut, but he spent a fair time in the wilderness.

    It became quite a media issue.

    He had a bit of BJ Watling about him. Made runs when the chips were down.

    155/2.

    Kane there and set……Nicholls there…..

    Kane goes we’re fucked, If he stays we’re in for a big first innings.

    Yes. And he got better towards the end. Took forever to get his first ton. Based on memory alone ... I think he debuted in '74, got his first ton (the aforementioned 174*), in '83 (edit: or was that '84?), saving the first test v England at the Basin.

    And he bowled.

    Poor old Henry is tracking down, after being part of that awesome middle order behind Ross & Kane. Super solid. Average in the 40s.

    Now he's there on rep.

    Will be happy if he fronts with a career prolonging ton today though.
