South Africa just beat India 2-1 in the test series before this test.
They can’t be complete shit.Can this be to them, like our version of the Mount test? Just an aberration you just forget. You’re right it is hard to compare the two sides
We'll find out when they do it again very shortly
Pity we can’t put them straight back in, at this rate we could finish two tests in five days lol
Yup. Give them a day off then back into it

Great stuff, now it's our turn to get rolled
Fricken Spark Sport. I wasn't going to shell out for this.
25 bucks for 10 days of cricket.
Seriously, it's not expensive.
@Crucial apologies, it's more likely to be 25 bucks for 2 tests, and possibly 6-7 days of cricket

I’m not sure about that. I just don’t think they’re a very good team. Classy bowlers but their top order are basically all journeymen.

He heard us pumping his tires! 9 down.

I think you are right on that. I am sure SA will come back next test harder,

I think it was pretty poor & selfish of Southee to keep bowling himself ahead of Henry and deny him a 10 wicket bag.
For him to keep bowling just so he could get a 5-for and surpass Hadlee and become NZ’s highest wicket taker in tests played in NZ smacks of it…..
🙄
Southee has been our best death bowler for years.

What other cricketing nation has a top order batsman still in their team who averages well under 40 and has not scored a century for 7 years?!
I give up……which one ?
It could be many of the West Indies top order but I assume he is referring to Bavuma who is only a "top order player" because of quotas otherwise he would just be Tim Paine batting at 7.

@donsteppa his average had to be that good for us to win because who else…. 😃

So apparently Boult is available for the next test. What a fun problem for the selectors to have. Does he slot straight back in and if so for who ?
I don’t think he’s quite the key man he used to be and at the same time whilst he’s regressed ( only a bit mind ) Southee has done the bottle of wine thing and gotten better.
It’s a pretty tough problem the selectors have to be honest.

It will be tough to leave Henry out. Big question for me is if the Saffas will work him out in time for the next game? And if so I'm not convinced he has a plan B

Yeah it’s one of those ‘has he turned the corner or was that a once in a lifetime moment?’
I honestly don’t know how five will go into four given I thought Henry would be mediocre and a placeholder at best.
I reckon Jamieson and Wags are safe as 3rd and 4th seamers.
