<p>It's just the sight of a band of tape on his wrist isn't it??? I'd imagine surgical gloves would make it more difficult to catch the ball</p> -

Does rotated write for the Herald? -
Boult gets Waj, big wicket.
-
<p>Yep. Current form of The Waj, that could be a big dent in our total.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Smith has under performed of late with the bat, so between he and Burns and Voges we need to consolidate and bat the next two days.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Burns has now faced 100 balls, making his the longest innings in that facet.</p> -

<p>That's the aim of the game when you're bowling.</p> -

Big difference.... obvious ain't it 😉 -

<p>I think my favourite sporting cliché that Nisbo always manages to bust out is "the tackle had to be made"......I'm not quite the rugby obsessive that a lot of piston wristed gibbons on here are.....but can someone tell me when a tackle doesn't have to be made ? next season is it going to be "it's ok Crudes, you don't have to make that tackle if you don't want to, Bender should get him in cover....."</p> -
<p>Nice ton to Burnsy. He's alright.</p>

<p>Bowling looks so insipid, not testing at all which was a feature of recent success</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Could be quality of Batsmen, probably is, but we've had about 4 days at these blokes for feck all return</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Boult's all over leg stump at half rat power, Southee can't even earn the second new ball</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope Jurgensen knows how to teach about reverse swing, perhaps our boys aren't quick enough for that?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Disappointing seeing the bowling falling away so much, but quality of opposition plays a part. Disciplined batting from Burns and Smith for sure though</p>
