I am serious that we should try and score at 4 an over + from the start tonight and see what happens. The risk is worth it imo.

This pitch is hard to bat on. Agree we should play assertive cricket (rather than aggressive), but expecting 4/over from the outset is a big ask.

CDG could be a key person for us... 50 quick runs in the context of this game would be sensational. Althouhg - if Pant can't score runs quickly, who can?

Is Pant 2021's unbeatable Springboks? ie., his rep is that he is so awesome he'll win the game on his own?

@majorrage that may be one of the worst sports "articles" i have ever read

it reads like a bunch of posts on a sports forum from a slightly older, slightly demented member.

Fuck off Mark, no one likes you.

I can think of one or two that fit that description ...

... I make no further comment ...

Good, it's past your bedtime anyway. Hop to it.

We're not playing yet, and booboo bedtime only works when we need a wicket.

[No Quarter]

[Paekakboyz]

Ffs!! Gagging for some cricket

[MN5]

Fuck this I’m off to bed.

Probably won’t be any play there either.

[KiwiMurph]

@mn5 have a bat....

[Donsteppa]

Day 103.

It is still raining in Southampton.

The domestic season in NZ resumes without the Black Caps.

Ross Taylor remains 0*

[shark]

This is FUCKED

[KiwiMurph]

Play is starting at half past.

[MajorRage]

I'm 50 miles north east which is where the weather is coming from & it's bright here with minimal cloud. So once it starts, it should be off to the races. We had light drizzle around 2 hours ago as well.

[Canes4life]

Let’s go lads. Game on.

[Paekakboyz]

Giddy up!

[TeWaio]

if we can get to parity only 1 or 2 wickets down soon after lunch, then can look to accelerate to tea, then declare with 15 overs left in the day?

I think these conditions are so tough for batting, that in a normal world we are in the same sort of conditions as being 200 behind.

Yay. We got a run.

LB but it adds ine
