Black Caps Tour to Zimbabwe

Come on Guppy!
 
I've got a $10 multi at 1000:1 - Hurricanes to win AND Guppy to make a hundred. :)
 
(I might be making this up).

TAB knows what it's doing.
 
Guppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Reasonable chance he's going to average more than 60 for the series, but I'm regarding that as a failure. I wanted 250+ runs out of him for twice out. Latham a good chance to do that.

Latham with ton #5..

Latham gone for 136.. (his highest score is 137).. out on the penultimate ball of the day.. 
 
329/2
 
Kane will have to sleep on 95*..

MN5

Well they couldn't really be in a stronger position than that. Good that Taylor will come out fresh to support KW and that they didn't have to fuck around with nightwatchmen or anything.
 
More of that same at a similar scoring rate would be good fellas. Sensational first day.

No Quarter

If Kane gets his 100 then he has tons against every test playing nation. What a legend.

MN5

Our two best bats in on the second day with over three hundy on the board.....
 
What a fucken time to be a Black Caps fan boys ( and girl ) !

Gunner

The Mrs is not impressed that I put the cricket on. 
'Just till Kane gets his 100 babe, then you can watch The Voice....'

Kane gets ton #14

No Quarter

All hail King Kane.

Siam

13th player to score a ton against the 9 other test playing nations. 
He's a good lad, our Kane

According to Cricinfo, he is just the 13th player to score a Test hundred against all nine other Test playing nations.
 
Martin Crowe never scored one against South Africa.

Gunner

This coverage is gold. 
Can hear all the background noise - the ball thudding into the bat, the 6 people in the crowd, the ground announcer, the Zimbos trying to be positive in the field, but no dreary commentary. 
Thumbs up. 
And well done Kane, I hope to see you still batting when the bloody voice is finished.

Snap, Siam !

He has a ton against all other 9 test playing nations. Quickest player (in terms of innings) to reach that milestone. But man he joins an elite group of players. I'm surprised there aren't more.

MN5

Time to make it rain boys, put these guys to the sword even more than the first test.
 
Easy to get a bit blasÃ© about the amount of decent Rugby players we produce but the two guys batting at the moment are top fucken notch. Appreciate them while you can.

KiwiPie

First 25 tests he averaged 31 with 3 hundreds.
 
Second 25 tests he averages 73 with 11 hundreds.
 
But not good enough to make an arbitrary test XI picked by Atherton et al that I saw on the interwebs .....

Cricinfo tells me if he gets a ton in SA next month then he has scored test tons in every test nation.
 
That would be an even smaller list of players.

Pfffft, who cares what a bloke who batted like a 70 year old man thinks.....
 
stink. KW gone. But shit how good is he that we start to regard 113 as "Good, but should have done better?"

5th Element

Not quite, as he has never played in Pakistan.
