Black Caps vs Proteas 2022

[Chris]

Another soft dismissal.

[get stuffed]

Awful shot selection again.

[rotated]

Mitchell in at 5. 113 to avoid to follow on.

Nicholls batting well just need someone to stay at the other end.

[Rapido]

Jeezus. Wtf.

[Chris]

We have not batted smart at all.
Gifting our wkts away.

[Damo]

That was just a cockup. Nicholls clearly didn't realise there was a man there.

[Donsteppa]

Another leaving it for someone else to do something effort from the Black Caps...

[rotated]

Massive opportunity here for Blundell.

And Mitchell.

[KiwiMurph]

This feels like what the expectation was for how the first test would go.

[Chris]

Fuck me Blundel crazy shit.

To show why he shouldn't be batting where CdG is.

[Donsteppa]

Blundell auditioning for the ACC commentary team…

Or not leaving the ball and getting bowled that was embarrassing.

[get stuffed]

This clusterfuck reminds me of our poor batting in that 1st test against the Banglas.

[Chris]

Brilliant 50 from CDG

[get stuffed]

Outstanding job from dG & Mitchell so far... was smart controlled aggression from dG making sure a lot of his shots were played along the deck.

Day 2 - NZ trail by 207 runs.
NZ : 157/5 (45)
