Black Caps vs Proteas 2022
-
Series drawn 1-1.
Seriously, what is the fucken point, even a one off test has more riding on it ! Would it kill us to have an extra test against both our foes so far this year ?
We should get awarded the series though since we wasted them way more in our victory than they did with their victory.

Interesting to see some of the excuses/reasons appearing on social media for the 2-2 summer (mainly Williamson, plus Boult for the SA series). It's not like Bangladesh toured here with Shakib al-Hasan, or the South Africans were at full strength and with no recent retirements themselves...

We were so erratic, I've become accustomed to a more consistent BCs performance. Kane's absence must be part of it. I don't think we suffered much in Boult's absence, we could have won both games that we lost if the batsmen had pulled their fingers out

Don't think your World Ranking could handle getting done at home TBH. Losing at home to 5th and 9th isn't healthy.

Thanks to Boucher and Graeme Smith the Proteas develope the old habit of fighting back after a loss. We saw this against India and now again. England don't had this in the Ashes. But both (Smith and Boucher) have to explain this to CSA.
Hope they survive this.
South African cricket is healthy with lots of Youngs like Baby AB Tristan Stubbs and Ethan Bosch coming through our cricket dyructures.
Sadly there isn't a 3rd test so we'll have to wait another 4 years against our rugby rival.

Crazy to only play 2 matches

Another five day effort phoned in under Stead and Latham.
Stead needs to go ASAP, he's completely bereft of any fresh ideas or innovation, woeful tactically, and his selections are reliably safe and conservative. He's a stale out of touch boomer who's possibly the most uninteresting individual and least inspirational coach you could find in NZ. Mike Hesson did a much better job with considerably less experienced and far weaker squads with a lot less depth within NZ cricket at the time.
@kiwi_expat Stead is not a Boomer. He is one year younger than me I definitely ain't a Boomer!

I think they confused his height in feet with his position.

Yeah we'll get pooched, but let's stay on topic eh? @MN5 hates it when rugby treads on the glorious World Champion team that is the BCs.
Especially when they can't win a series at home

@Machpants has taken up the mantle in @Virgils absence by the looks of things.
But yeah, staying on topic the ride was fun while it lasted. Christ on a bike KW can’t comeback fast enough can he ? The most important Black Cap since Paddles, easily.

This two tests show you can't play test cricket without a spinner.
I think the first test proved you can, ooms. Emphatically

The bowlers didn't lose the game for us. The batters did

Yeah weird post. We still dished out one of the biggest hidings I can remember without a spinner in sight ( which makes today’s result all the more annoying )
