NZ v SA Test Series

Tim

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....

Chris B.

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!

Hooroo

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.

Hooroo

@No-Quarter hear hear!

Couldn't agree more. A bit of a favourite for me

Oh I dunno, I kinda loved that accent when it hit a 6 to make the final of the World Cup

Chris B.

Two quick wickets and we've knocked them over for 308.

BJ owes us some runs - Elgar made 104 after his drop!

MajorRage

Fuckint Patel, fucked the michelle.

(that sounds like a line from a story i'd read my kids!!)

Chris B.

So now we get to see what the pacey Jaapies can get out of this pitch.

Rabada and Philander with bowling averages in the low 20s and Morkel always looks like the bowler I'd least like to face in world cricket.

Virgil

3/22 at the start 6/79 at the end
Shame about the middle stages!

Piece.of.cake

Philander draws Tom into playing a wide one and we're 15/1.

So it begins.....

Philander just hasn't gone away has he? He was never going to keep up his start (63 wickets in his first 10 tests), but he's settled in to a very respectable career since then, averaging more than 3 wickets a test, and still with an average of 21. Fucking great player.

Not ashamed to admit i thought he would be a flash in the pan. Can pick 'em...
