Black Caps v South Africa

[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.

[Rapido]

I've only watched probably even more intermittently, but I hadn't seen him break 127kmh.

[Gunner]

That 50 for Bedingham cane way too easy, we gave him too many free hits.

[Chris B.]

@Rapido I can't remember it either - though I reckon our speed guns are a bit dialled back compared to Australian ones.

Aussies always talk it up though. They reckon Jeff Thomson bowled at 180kph prior to speedguns working properly.

@MN5

Thommo up there with the fastest of modern times - not quite 150kmh.

Most of the others in the 130s or low 140s.

Sir Paddles down with Wags - not breaking 130ks.

Wags broke 130 yesterday.

Edit - may not have been yesterday but definitely first innings
