Boult must be watching this swing pondering whether being there for his kids birth was really worth it

commentators saying that the surface was less threatening just before lunch (although that could have been just CDG trundling in), eitherway happy to see top order knocked over and puts us in a good position
and I wonder how much we can thank to finally winning a toss lol
With the sun drying the wicket out it's looking a bit easier to bat on... if we can manage to knock over their two current batsmen within the first hour after lunch we will be a great position.
done in 43 minutes.
Thanks Henry

if we are honest, we gave England enormous shit for turning up in Aus with a batting lineup probably better than this

Based on the SA v India series, SA's current tactic is to try and roll you for less than they got rolled for.

That didn't look a great review but it was cannoning into leg stump.
Huge performance from Henry

5 in a session and a half is a decent day out
Edit. 6 in a session and a half is a decent day out

Agreed, will be interesting to see how we go batting on this pitch, given there is still movement. Hopefully a whole lot better!

Stead confirmed last night that Nicholls will move up to 4 and Mitchell will bat at 5. If Henry replaces Boult then it is CdG vs Ravindra for the 7 spot.
Apart from saving the first test in India I'd suggest Ravindra hasn't exactly ripped up trees. Considering his record in NZ conditions, despite his poor performance of late, I'd probably pick Colin
Yeah, Ravindra has done stuff all, Colin would have to start over him... also with Williamson missing we need as much experience as we can get in our batting against a team like South Africa.
Hope Matt Henry isn't picked in the 11, why does this bloke continued to get selected in test squads ? ...he doesn't swing it, doesn't use a slower ball or use the width of the crease, he totally relies on a seaming wicket, his bowling average is very poor, 46.
Just want to acknowledge NZBloke for this superb rant writing off Henry before the match, ensuring he goes on to take a bag of wickets.

Lol wtf Henry is just steam rolling them now

where all the haters gone now? where you at??
(i can scarcely believe Henry has these figures)

What's SA's lowest score against us?
this currently, was something like 140 odd

Henry currently 3-15 (7) makes me feel happier about my sun-baked ranting and raving after day five at Bay Oval
Henry taking wickets left right and centre, Blundell letting through byes (okay, I only just tuned in in time for that ball), my wild ranting is vindicated (at least for this hour, let's not double check this next week...)

Great stuff, now it's our turn to get rolled

Great stuff, now it's our turn to get rolled
with out Williamson and BJ it's got "all out 76" written all over it
-
Jamieson's locking partner Jansen to have a go at us next, would imagine he will be relishing this pitch
