Black Caps v South Africa

[Gunner]

Will’O again with a beauty to get Brand, who was looking pretty comfortable.

Good stuff.

39/3, lead is 70

[BerniesCorner]

Willo fantastic, pencil him in v Australia

[Chris B.]

If they're all available, I'd pick Henry, Jamieson and O'Rourke for the first test vs Oz.

Southee, Santner and Wags can fight for the last specialist bowling spot.

Timmy should win that, but I don't think he should get the new ball.

[Chris B.]

Bedingham is the guy that really worries me - sooner we see the back of him, the better.

[Gunner]

@Chris-B Southee is the captain, there’s no way he’s not playing and taking the new ball.

In the unlikely event that I'm appointed coach in the next couple of weeks he's not getting the new ball - unless it's going to swing mightily!

I'll be surprised if you're not correct on both counts.

[Gunner]

Ravindra and Phillips leaking runs now, time for some Wag ball I reckon.

On the selections. Jamieson is apparently in doubt for the Aussie tests.

What's his problem now?

[MN5]

This lead is getting very niggly

There’s been some shit bowling since we took the 3rd wicket.

[Gunner]

Ravindra has bowled about 3 overs too many here, way too many pies being dished up.

Last 5 overs have gone for 38 runs for fuck sakes.

Back. related to the stress fracture he just over came.

[Cyclops]

How do we go through an entire session without giving Wags a bowl? I haven't been impressed by Southee's captaincy at all this series.

Exactly. What’s the point in two part timers rolling the arm over when we need to strike ?

[MN5]

Jeremy Coney on the radio being uncharacteristically harsh saying these overs are the ones that should be bowled by “decent” spinners. NZ haven’t selected those.

Ouch !

[Gunner]

Hope Wags is getting suitably angry by Tim’s refusal to bowl him yet.

Speak of the devil…

Commentators mentioning that Wags has lost some pace. Can anyone watching confirm ?

[Gunner]

We fucking loves Wags!

[Cyclops]

Almost predictable, held back and immediately takes the wicket. Masterstroke to get wags worked up or poor captaincy not to bring him in sooner.

[Chris B.]

Wags gets Hamza with the first short one he bowled.

@MN5 - I've only watched intermittently, but I haven't seen him break 130kmh.
