I'm not saying Devon Conway is the third best NZ batsman in my lifetime, but only Crowe and Williamson have batted with less sense of imminent vulnerability as him.

He is being totally done over here but looks like he can get through it.

He has a technical fault with his front foot and falling over to off.
Rabada is working on that making it tough.
Conway is good enough to work through it.

[get stuffed]

Reckon Conways need to cover off stump better & not keep fending outside off... needs to get in behind the ball & play straighter.

Flem had the same issue, as do many lefties, he just doesn't look snakebit by it.

Yes Fleming did,exactly same problem.
Needs to adjust his front foot placement and it’s sorted.

Test cricket can be so intriguing, it's about battles within battles... if Conway & Nicholls can fight their way through this tough period they can prosper later on.

[Chris]

Another soft dismissal.

[get stuffed]

Awful shot selection again.

Mitchell in at 5. 113 to avoid to follow on.

Nicholls batting well just need someone to stay at the other end.

[Rapido]

Jeezus. Wtf.

[Chris]

We have not batted smart at all.
Gifting our wkts away.

[Damo]

That was just a cockup. Nicholls clearly didn't realise there was a man there.

[Donsteppa]

Another leaving it for someone else to do something effort from the Black Caps...

Massive opportunity here for Blundell.

And Mitchell.

[KiwiMurph]

This feels like what the expectation was for how the first test would go.

[Chris]

Fuck me Blundel crazy shit.

To show why he shouldn't be batting where CdG is.

[Donsteppa]

Blundell auditioning for the ACC commentary team…

Or not leaving the ball and getting bowled that was embarrassing.
