Black Caps v South Africa

[MN5]

Henry in and starts off with a strike rate of 600.

Shit he’s a terrific low order bat I must say. Could justifiably bat ahead of Jamieson I reckon. Four half centuries to one and averages more too.

Is Southee getting lazy now he’s captain ? I’d have thought he’d like a swing at some tired bowlers.

[MN5]

All out for 511.

Southee better open strongly and knock some stumps over after his batting display.

So careless and irresponsible, from the captain NO less !

He did take a swing and missed it by the Greerton straight…

Like I said. Irresponsible. Should have hung around til tomorrow morning and grafted 10 not out off 50 odd deliveries.

Relieve him of the captaincy now.

Moore looks like he’s in a hurry

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 agree.

Are there trees planted that have not yet grown? Or just going to be tough forever?

[nzzp]

Jamieson, yes please

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.

beats the hell out of the alternative

[Gunner]

Jamieson goes bang, bang and suddenly they’re 26/2, with 500 looking a loooooong way away.

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 !!!!

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.

[nzzp]

hahaha, Santner gets a wicket!

[MN5]

@MN5 said in Black Caps v South Africa Tests:

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

[Cyclops]

@nzzp one of the most ridiculous wickets you'll see. They were halfway through an appeal for lbw as the ball richoceted up onto the batters shoulder and then onto the stumps.
