Blackcaps v Sri Lanka

KW is not only our best ever batsman, he's now seriously in the conversation for our best player ever
And I never thought there would ever be a conversation

A couple of seasons ago Kane scored 90 odd against Sri Lanka off 90 odd deliveries. Normally when you see that kind of strike rate you think about aggression and risks and hitting over the top. But it wasn't. It was zero risk, control, placement and precision. When he got out, there was a few seconds of silence as everyone (opposition, commentators, crowd) was shocked because he'd just looked so unstoppable. It's probably the best innings I've watched in full myself by any batsman.

Would they be if they didn't survive the dropped chances?

Aaand that's it for Kane

Mitch comes and goes for an entertaining 18.
Henry and Blundell obviously batting for an imminent declaration.

Nicholls scoring a double ton is downright hilarious

Does Nicholls get another shot ?
Unfortunately he probably will, and he’ll probably get a hundy which means we’ll be stuck with him for at least another 12 months.
This guy 🙄
