Think will be rain on and off today and tomorrow pretty much washed out. Sunday and Monday much better
Jumped on the draw at $8.50 yesterday when England were 8 down. Will happily lose my money but also want something in return if the weather gods steal away a famous NZ victory
I looked at the draw pretty seriously. But Eden Park has such good drainage I can’t see there not being a result in this game

Drainage wont be the issue. Its that grass stays wet in the late session. Lights wont dry it. Its measly $25 anyway. Happy to take a wee punt.

18 test 100s at an average of 51. If he hadn't already, he is now cemented in the record books as NZs GOAT batsmen. What a privilege it is to see him play in his prime.

Batsman. Paddles is still no 1 to me.

Yes, edited to clarify.

Quite special to have been able to watch two world class Kiwi batsmen in Martin Crowe and Kane Williamson in the last 35-odd years. Two of our greatest.
Don't forget Rossco. Check his figures when you get a moment.....

Imagine how much better he would have been if he'd had his eyes fixed earlier

Wasted review, show some stones Nicholls and tell Kane he was plum. Anything less than a 250 lead would be a wasted opportunity imo. Agree with Smithy that CdG can shift the pace... But he could also go for fark all ☺

@mn5 No, am not fogetting Rossco, and don't require to check his figures.
You're saying he's not in that echelon? I'm really interested to hear the reasoning behind this considering he's arguably second batsman down on an all time BCs 11.

Well, that was more than showers. Serious rain at the park mid to late afternoon, so pulled the pin and bailed. Got to see Ton 18 for Williamson, which is one for the memory banks (and suck on that www.16tun.co.nz).
Nicholls looked good. decent judgement, when he played short stuff really kept on top of it. Good stuff. Should have told Williamson not to bother with the review though.
All in all, a good day at the cricket. not enough play, but some sun, some ribs, and some good Black Cap action. Enough for me anyway
