NZ v SA Test Series

[Chris B.]

Very disappointing end result given that Cook, Amla and Duminy scored five runs between them.

Still, as I've noted before, on most pitches I reckon 220/4 is par, so hard to say they've really got away from us.

Is it too harsh to note that if Jeets can avoid getting a wicket for another 28 runs he'll get his test average up to 50?

Big mistake picking Patel over Southee...

Serious or sarcastic ?

No wickets ( there's a surprise ) and third most ( or least depending on how negative you want to be ) economical bowler out there today?

@MN5 Did you know Patel hasn't take a test wicket in NZ since 2010!!!

Just thought you would like to know

You can bust out all kinds of statistics to prove a point especially on the interweb but I'm sure his variation is worth more than any number of Michelle's.....

Elgar gets a healthy edge off Wagner, but it drops six inches in front of Rossco.

Comms making the point if that one doesn't carry then there's not many that will - slips probably too deep on this pitch.

Finally get Elgar 252/5

@MN5

Patel to de Kock, OUT

Q de Kock c Wagner b Patel 10 (26b 1x4 0x6) SR: 38.46

Selection Justified!

Fucken Warnie and Murali who?

Jeets you're the greatest!!!!

[Chris B.]

Jeetan gets his bunny de Kock.

267/6

[Chris B.]

...and now Boult gets Bavuma. Both ends opened up if we can take advantage.

279/7

That was a joke of a shot. Get out of test cricket and stay out.

[MN5]

Boult cruelly and cynically putting himself before the team and robbing Jeets of a well deserved Michelle....

Certainly a terrible shot - T20 effort. His captain won't be happy - Bavuma was looking untroubled and could have pushed them on to 400. If things go badly for SA in the next half hour we might get them for around 300 on what now looks like a pretty flat track.

[Chris B.]

Maharaj sucked in...takes on the obvious leg side trap and it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

[MajorRage]

Michelle watch - only Boult and Wagner left in it ...both need the last 2 wickets.

Fascinating stuff for the Michelle obsessed fan, it's all happening!

Watling isn't in the best form with the Gloves it has got to be said.

Thinking the same thing, costly drop of Elgar yesterday.
Missed a runout just before

[No Quarter]

Fuck I love Neil Wagner. He's everything you want in a Kiwi cricketer. Works himself into the ground to make the most of whatever talent he has.

[Chris B.]

@No-Quarter Apart from the accent.
