I have to say some of these NZ test grounds look awful places to watch cricket at. Bugger sitting on a grass bank in the sun all day.
Always dangerous with my complexion that’s for sure
I burn like a ranga nowadays, despite not being one. And the old joints don't enjoy sitting on the ground for too long. It sucks getting old.

I’m part ranga, my beard is very rangaish, the parts that haven’t gone grey at any rate.
Back to the cricket, fuck yeah KJ !!!!

Jamieson goes bang, bang and suddenly they’re 26/2, with 500 looking a loooooong way away.
to be fair we were 39/2 but I hope that's the only similarity

I’d say so. They won’t avoid the follow on.

Santner fails but it’s ok, much more of a bowling all rounder anyway.
@nzzp more to come

love the optimism.
25 tests. 47 wickets at 42. I hope you're right

I’ve changed tactics. Instead of whinging about him in the team I’ll talk up everything he does. It’s bound to work.

Take an old man camping chair. Much more comfortable than sitting on the ground or on a plastic seat in a stand. Sun can be brutal and there are some trees but they are quite small still.

Lol comparing Ravindra to Kane at this stage of his career is pointless. Let's see where Rachin is in five years time before even thinking about making such comparisons. Kane's our greatest for a reason and Ravindra will have to play out of his skin for a long time to better him. For New Zealand's sake I hope he does, but right now let's just enjoy having such batting class in one team.
Hopefully Conway can get back to his best aswell and we'll be looking damn healthy at the top.

I’m glad someone said it. A double ton at home is terrific but it’s nothing the likes of Latham, Conway, Nicholls ( remember him ? ) etc haven’t achieved before. Jesse Ryder too before he went off the rails……none of these guys hold a candle to KW with all due respect.
Daryl Mitchell has batted the house down too since his debut. Let’s not forget him.

Sinclair is another possible comparison ...
Rachin is looking good and could well be a star. I kinda like the kid.
Cool it with the over the top praise though. -

His career has been amazing. He has slightly been under the radar, yet I see he is ranked 4 in ICC test batting.

Amazing for a guy who only got in due to injury...
