Virendar Sewag is one of the greatest back foot cutters of a ball ever to play the game.

The gold standard is still Mark Waugh.

Chris Gayle and Virhender Sehwag did alot of the above ( that Guptil does ), opened, and averaged 42 and 49 in test cricket respectively.

Virendar Sewag is one of the greatest back foot cutters of a ball ever to play the game. He's core shot is the square cut. He was also fantastic off his hip. He's a mile from Guppy.

Just making the point that both of them supposedly didn't have the 'technique' for test cricket....

Never mind Mark Waugh or Virender Sehwag... It's how that flawed technique of Guptill's compares to Henry Nicholls that I'm worried about.

With Rabada and Steyn I'd lean towards shoe-horning in the best six batsmen in NZ and then doing a rain dance

Looks like bloody Foxtel are not sowing the game until 5.30 AEDT this evening. Great.

Bugger. Cricket is the great levelled as always. Guppy never looked right today.

[Damo]

I am not liking the pace of this wicket. Hopefully slows up a bit over the day, otherwise it's advantage S.A.

Kane gone.

Brownlie runs out the skipper and then plays all around a straight one.

Nice one champ.

[Donsteppa]

Great work by van der Brownlie.

On the plus side, no channel surfing needed during the rugby tonight...

[Damo]

Chins up fellas. There's still enough batting to come. While Taylor is in there's still hope.

Is ronchi auditioning for the test spot? 0 off 13 balls

[mimic]

gotta love the applause from the crowd when ronchi got off the mark

Doing the right thing given we're now 4 down with 35 overs to play...

Damned autocorrect. I typed in while Neesham is there we still have hope, but Google came back to say 'are you sure you don't mean Taylor?'
