you know what really grinds my gears?

The South Continent nations have genuine home pitch advantages. Absolute burners that take experience to play on

What do we serve up in response? Benign flat batting decks. The only reason for our success was we had a metronome South African willing to bowl bouncers over after over after over until the batsman got bored and fucked up.

Bring back the fucking green.

That pitch is spinning wickedly, it's definitely a hit out or get out situation. Probably need to try and bat like it's a T20 as you're not going to last long trying to survive.

137 to win (I think)

when we were 55/5 in first innings I thought that was no chance

This should be a pretty comfortable walk in the park.

Conway to get an unbeaten half century. Easy.

Ajax Patel is like the reverse Henry Nicholls. Awesome record overseas but terrible record at home (to be fair he has only played three games in NZ).

If he could bat well enough to bat at seven, he probably would have played a bucketload of games.

Santner brings the career average to 42, beating Sodhi along the way !

[Rapido]

Holy shit, that ball took off like a rocket.

This. We don't know how effective he could be because he barely gets a chance at home

60 test wickets at 30 is fucken incredible for a NZ spinner.

[bayimports]

ohh what can possibly go wrong with this confident thread? less than 26 perhaps?

[nzzp]

This is unplayable

[bayimports]

@nzzp thats the worry, not often 130 odd seems like a large total

[Rapido]

Man, I know I'm pessimistic, but can't see us getting there. Is unplayable. Got to hope it's easier when the ball gets a bit older.

Well. There is this thing called Plunket Shield.

I'll confidently state he'd have done less well than the 4 seamers who played ahead of him, on some spinners graveyard pitches. But better (with the ball) than the spin bowling all-rounders who rounded out those attacks.

[nzzp]

@Rapido pace shouldn't decide this test. Or should be all down to how we pay the spinners.

Small total though, a few good connections and it looks on

[Gunner]

Tough total on this pitch, but all we need is one counter attacking innings (Al la Phillips), and a few to hang around in support.

Sounds simple, right?

[booboo]

Given up watching. Youtube feed is terrible, and ads are just absolutely random.

[nzzp]

@booboo NZ? Three now have it

Otherwise try VIP box and use an ad blocker
