    @No-Quarter said in NZ v SA Test Series:

    Nicholls plays some nice shots but his defensive technique is nowhere near where it needs to be. Goes hard at the ball and often gets caught in two minds - his most common dismissal is sticking the bat out to balls that are not hitting the stumps.

    How come, these days, none of us can do better? In my day, we didn't have video analysis so I was reliant on useless coaches to tell me what I was doing wrong. These days, watching endless cricket coverage it's obvious how to bat properly.

    I can only think that the Millenials can't afford Sky TV or they're too engrossed with their iPhones to be interested. Or they're just weakly specimens. 🙂

    That was an effortless cover drive from Patel. He has great technique for a lower order batsmen.

    Time for my boy Neesh to show that he's better then CDGH...

    No major demons in the pitch, just need to play watchfully and get your eye in.

    Interesting to see on Stuff that Guptill still isn't being considered as a replacement for Taylor

    Ohh man that's close as fuck actually. Possibly 0.00001mm behind the line...

    Yup given out. Damn.

    Took Kane 55 minutes to open his account this morning.

    Weather looks a bit dodgy for Sunday, if we can bat till tea today and get the first innings score pretty close then a wet Sunday should be enough to stave off a defeat.

    Commentators saying Rossco not yet ruled out of the next test, which hopefully means he might come out in this one if necessary.

    Thoughts on the no ball @Chris-B ? The comms seem adamant it was a no-ball but I can see how it was given out, his heel from side on looked to be cutting the line (just).

    I thought it was OK...just.

    Question - if Rossco bats but can't run. Whomever is at the other end could potentially run a two, while Ross leaned on his bat - which would then count as one with "one short"?

    Cricinfo mentioned earlier that Roscoe has been spotted in the batting nets, guess that's promising.
