Black Caps Tour to Zimbabwe

<p>What's been most impressive is that on a flattish wicket against militray medium pace bowling at a 5th or 6th stump line, Guptill has been very measured in his shot selection. I expect that they might start ramping it up against the spinners (I always get nervous when I see sweeps these days - it's far easier to get a LBW decision post DRS than before) but hopefully the same considered shot selction will win out - no need to go full retard - just accumulate and let the pressure and fatigue do the work</p>

<p>TAB knows what it's doing.</p>

<p>Guppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Reasonable chance he's going to average more than 60 for the series, but I'm regarding that as a failure. I wanted 250+ runs out of him for twice out. Latham a good chance to do that.</p> -
<p>Well they couldn't really be in a stronger position than that. Good that Taylor will come out fresh to support KW and that they didn't have to fuck around with nightwatchmen or anything.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>More of that same at a similar scoring rate would be good fellas. Sensational first day.</p> -
If Kane gets his 100 then he has tons against every test playing nation. What a legend.
-
<p>All hail King Kane.</p>
-
<p>According to Cricinfo, he is just the 13th player to score a Test hundred against all nine other Test playing nations.</p>

<p>Martin Crowe never scored one against South Africa.</p> -
This coverage is gold.<br><br>
Can hear all the background noise - the ball thudding into the bat, the 6 people in the crowd, the ground announcer, the Zimbos trying to be positive in the field, but no dreary commentary. <br><br>
Thumbs up.<br><br>
And well done Kane, I hope to see you still batting when the bloody voice is finished. -
<p>Snap, Siam !</p>

<p>Time to make it rain boys, put these guys to the sword even more than the first test.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Easy to get a bit blasÃ
about the amount of decent Rugby players we produce but the two guys batting at the moment are top fucken notch. Appreciate them while you can.</p> -

<p>He has a ton against all other 9 test playing nations. Quickest player (in terms of innings) to reach that milestone. But man he joins an elite group of players. I'm surprised there aren't more.</p>

<p>Cricinfo tells me if he gets a ton <u>in</u> SA next month then he has scored test tons <u>in</u> every test nation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That would be an even smaller list of players.</p>
