Do you count that as a dropped catch?
No didn’t really go to hand
Yeah I was joking, Elloit also brought out the same joke.

Ok missed that

So good!

interestingly, Kane now has 6 hundreds against SA, but they remain the only test playing nation he has never scored a hundred against in their own backyard.
Jeez we will miss him when he retires, he is sensational

might as well enjoy while it lasts before it all goes to shite

I honestly never thought that Sir Richard Hadley would ever have competition for the Greatest NZ cricketer ever, but i think it's time for that to be a real chat.
His record is among the best ever. He may not have the bulk runs of guys who play more tests, but his average is right there at the top for guys that have played 90+ tests. Getting to 10,000 runs would i think make it official.

O'Rourke got MOTM
-
@mariner4life agreed, he is certainly putting himself right up in contention, if he knocks off a couple of more milestones, it will be hard to ignore

@Stag said in Black Caps v South Africa Tests:
Both Southee and Wagner must be very marginal for the Australian series. Two wickets in two tests against a SA third string batting line up is simply not good enough from Southee. Both O’Rourke and Jamison need to be in that team.
They won’t drop the captain after a historic series win. Who would replace him ?
-
Good stuff.
Thanks for coming Jaaps - next time try fielding your B team in a RWC Final, you feckers!
Overall, seven good innings by us - and one poor one that put us under pressure.
Comfortable in the end.
Kane has a better "hundreds per match" ratio than anyone except Bradman and a few flukes like Rodney Redmond and Andy Ganteaume.
-
@MN5 Santner or Ajaz Patel.
Given my scepticism about playing spinners in NZ, though - right now I'm hoping for...
Latham, Young, Williamson, Mitchell, Ravindra, Phillips, Blundell, Henry, Jamieson, Southee, O'Rourke.
Sorry Devon, but you need some runs in the short forms.

7 in the last 12 is just ridiculous. Ridiculous.
Context when you look at how many NZers have scored more than seven - and some of the names who scored seven or less.

Man this feels good. I know it's not the prime SA team, but wins are wins. Big bonus for WTC for us - I thought we were out of it after the Bangladesh loss, but we're gasping. A good showing against Aus (not gonna happen) and we'd be right in it.... until we go to India.
Happy Friday night everyone

@nzzp it's been how long now since he got a fifty? Unless I missed one if he's getting to fifty, he's getting 100+. Epic stuff.

@Paekakboyz Five years or so maybe? I saw something on reddit about it.
