I for one welcome our Henry/Patel led attack going forward.

Thought provoking post.

Current age of our bowlers:
Wags (loves Wags) 35y11m
Southee 33y2m
Boult 32y7m
Henry 30y2m
Kylo 27y2m

Wags is damn near 36! He is also seemingly indestructible. But I'm sure even he has a limit. Another year and he 37. Must start slowing down.

he hasn't had the volume of cricket that Hadlee had.

aaand I just googled it. 57 tests vs Hadlee's 86. 12k balls vs 22k. so not as big a gap as I thought given how late to the party Wags was

Loves Wags

upvote every time. Still my favourite cricketer in that team

Such a redundant post and I mean that in a good way. Wags is one of the most popular BCs ever. Just universally adored.

Who doesn't love a guy who looks like he would kill and maim, or even sacrifice himself for the team, every time he plays

Apparently the selectors who would leave him out of our side…

South Africa just beat India 2-1 in the test series before this test.
They can’t be complete shit.

Can this be to them, like our version of the Mount test? Just an aberration you just forget. You’re right it is hard to compare the two sides

Grrrrrrrrr. Speaking of which, Wags strikes back 🥰

We'll find out when they do it again very shortly

Wags should be the top scoring South African in the test from here.

Pity we can’t put them straight back in, at this rate we could finish two tests in five days lol

Great stuff, now it's our turn to get rolled

Fricken Spark Sport. I wasn't going to shell out for this.

25 bucks for 10 days of cricket.

Seriously, it's not expensive.

@Crucial apologies, it's more likely to be 25 bucks for 2 tests, and possibly 6-7 days of cricket

[MN5]

Good work boys just two to get.

Give Henry a shot to get ten though !!!!

[canefan]

Timmy bowling well and a great catch down low from Kylo

I’m not sure about that. I just don’t think they’re a very good team. Classy bowlers but their top order are basically all journeymen.

[Paekakboyz]

He heard us pumping his tires! 9 down.

I think you are right on that. I am sure SA will come back next test harder,

[Bovidae]

India won the 1st test of their recent series but SA won the next two tests.

By an innings and 276 runs though ?

[Stag]

I think it was pretty poor & selfish of Southee to keep bowling himself ahead of Henry and deny him a 10 wicket bag.

[Stag]

What other cricketing nation has a top order batsman still in their team who averages well under 40 and has not scored a century for 7 years?!

For him to keep bowling just so he could get a 5-for and surpass Hadlee and become NZ’s highest wicket taker in tests played in NZ smacks of it…..

Southee has been our best death bowler for years.
