@MN5 Subtle, topical and brilliantly thought out. Well played sir.

What the hell is going on out there?

"Philander is now rolling the ball back, as a form of protest, from the deep"

Did we accuse them of something? Trying to read back cricinfo and it just looked like it was a general discussion amongst the fans etc. Obviously not!

Umpires decided that the ball was out of shape so changed it, bit it was reversing nicely for South Africa. A couple of overs later Philander asked for another change and the umpires said no.

Hmm I'm sure we had our top 3 all make centuries once (rigor, Lou Vincent and Fleming I think).

When Vincent got his hundy on debut vs oz I'm sure there were three others that got them too. On my phone so if someone could link the scoresheet via cricinfo that would be good.

Interesting, don't remember Styris batting at 3 much, think of him more at 4.

@MN5 Flem, Nath, and Parore i think.

[Cyclops]

And the deficit under 100 now. If we bat really well we might finish up with a lead!

That could be right. Holy shit what an effort IN oz too.

[MN5]

Ravel has to have had one of the most consistent test starts of all time. Nothing massive but obviously few to no failures either?

[Bovidae]

Well done Kane for ton #17.

He is looking quite rigoresque

Only one innings without making double figures, and three of the 12 less than 20 runs.

When was the last time a black cap scored two centuries in a series? Baz did it against the Indians with a double and a triple, Kane must have done in before as well?

[MN5]

Fuck you Black Caps. You play this well in a test that has very little chance of a result.

[Crazy Horse]

I love the way the commentators are talking about us batting once and getting a decent lead. Um, it's the Black Caps, a collapse is never far away.

Congrats Kane. It's a fucking pleasure watching you.
