Autumn it's usually very windy, cold and generally shit.
I used to live in Wellington. Loved it, but the weather was ... meh

If he bowls half as well as that I think we’ll all be pleased

I still remember that one. Was at work with half a dozen other cricket tragics and we all went nuts when we got the last wicket.

ahh that sucks he looked so good, Conway gone

I am not shocked it was a new keeper..
Knew what you meant though, no shocks that Nicholls edges

It’s funny, the much maligned Nicholls has a career ( so far ) remarkably similar to Jeremy Coney. More tons ( 8 vs 3, that one surprised me ) but at a lower average ( 36 vs 37 ). 2760 runs in 54 tests vs 2668 runs in 52 tests.
Identical top score ( 174 ) as well.
I was only a kid but I look back on the Mantis’s career quite fondly…..whereas I look at Nicholls as a guy who started well and has turned to shit.
Does Coney get more of a pass cos of the era he played ? The truly legendary pace bowlers he went against ?
Does Nicholls get maligned for his own form mirroring that of the team since our greatest moment in test history ?
