<p>I'm quite pleased about that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Based on his first class record he's got a pretty inflated average in all three forms. I suspect he's not "a great of the game" and I hope he'll play long enough that he's not an anomaly at the Andy Ganteaume level.</p>

Good start for us in the 2nd test <br><br>
Won toss and batting <br><br>
101/0 at lunch with guptil on 49 and Latham 42

[SynicBast]

<p>What's been most impressive is that on a flattish wicket against militray medium pace bowling at a 5th or 6th stump line, Guptill has been very measured in his shot selection. I expect that they might start ramping it up against the spinners (I always get nervous when I see sweeps these days - it's far easier to get a LBW decision post DRS than before) but hopefully the same considered shot selction will win out - no need to go full retard - just accumulate and let the pressure and fatigue do the work</p>

<p>Come on Guppy!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've got a $10 multi at 1000:1 - Hurricanes to win AND Guppy to make a hundred.  :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(I might be making this up).</p>

[Chris B.]

<p>TAB knows what it's doing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Guppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Reasonable chance he's going to average more than 60 for the series, but I'm regarding that as a failure. I wanted 250+ runs out of him for twice out. Latham a good chance to do that.</p>

[mimic]

<p>Latham with ton #5.. </p>

[mimic]

<p>Latham gone for 136.. (his highest score is 137).. out on the penultimate ball of the day.. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>329/2</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kane will have to sleep on 95*..</p>

[MN5]

<p>Well they couldn't really be in a stronger position than that. Good that Taylor will come out fresh to support KW and that they didn't have to fuck around with nightwatchmen or anything.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>More of that same at a similar scoring rate would be good fellas. Sensational first day.</p>

[No Quarter]

If Kane gets his 100 then he has tons against every test playing nation. What a legend.

[MN5]

<p>Our two best bats in on the second day with over three hundy on the board.....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What a fucken time to be a Black Caps fan boys ( and girl ) !</p>

[Gunner]

The Mrs is not impressed that I put the cricket on.<br><br>
'Just till Kane gets his 100 babe, then you can watch The Voice....'<br><br>

[mimic]

<p>Kane gets ton #14</p>

[No Quarter]

<p>All hail King Kane.</p>

[Siam]

13th player to score a ton against the 9 other test playing nations.<br><br>
He's a good lad, our Kane

[A Former User]

<p>According to Cricinfo, he is just the 13th player to score a Test hundred against all nine other Test playing nations.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Martin Crowe never scored one against South Africa.</p>

[Gunner]

This coverage is gold.<br><br>
Can hear all the background noise - the ball thudding into the bat, the 6 people in the crowd, the ground announcer, the Zimbos trying to be positive in the field, but no dreary commentary. <br><br>
Thumbs up.<br><br>
And well done Kane, I hope to see you still batting when the bloody voice is finished.

[A Former User]

<p>Snap, Siam !</p>

[mimic]

<p>He has a ton against all other 9 test playing nations. Quickest player (in terms of innings) to reach that milestone. But man he joins an elite group of players. I'm surprised there aren't more.</p>

[MN5]

<p>Time to make it rain boys, put these guys to the sword even more than the first test.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Easy to get a bit blasà about the amount of decent Rugby players we produce but the two guys batting at the moment are top fucken notch. Appreciate them while you can.</p>
