NZ v SA Test Series

[Chris B.]

In other news, Little Kane has confirmed himself as a useless tosser!

Jaapies win yet again and are bowling and have opened up with Morkel on a pitch that's bouncing!

[Chris B.]

Helpfully, Philander is really trundling from the other end and struggling to bowl faster than 125.

[Chris B.]

Tommy survives an lbw appeal. Given not out, the Jaapies don't review - but, it was showing three red lights if they had.

Hit above the knee roll and with Morkel's bounce I thought it would be going over, but apparently not.

[Chris B.]

Tom doesn't survive the next one, though. Pitched up and going across him and all he can do is edge big Morne to slip.

11/1

Latham is in a hooooole

[MN5]

Christ on a bike our lineup looks weak as fuck without Taylor and Boult there.

[Hooroo]

@mariner4life Suuuucks!! Gutted for him as he looked like the man for the job last year

[Chris B.]

@Hooroo He's currently got the fifth most test runs of any batsman in 2017.

[Hooroo]

@Chris-B. His one day funk has funked up his test batting!

[Chris B.]

@Hooroo Looks like Hesson has funked him up by making him take the keeping gloves!

[Hooroo]

Wow!

That sucks

[Hooroo]

We are going to get pumped! and I mean proper pumped!

[Chris B.]

Aaarghhh - Little Kane gone lbw for 2.

He reviewed it, but there's no ball tracking and he has to go.

About the only good thing in that is it looked pretty plumb to me, so we probably save a review!

No ball tracking seems t9o happen too often in NZ.

[mariner4life]

well, that's this game fucked then.

[Gunner]

Well fuck.

[Chris B.]

Broom back in the cupboard.

Fantastic catch by de Kock.

[Tim]

This Broom guy is in hot form (last five international innings: 8, 2, 2, 0, 0). Can definitely see why he got called into the test team to bat at four.

[mariner4life]

yea! awesome! Test cricket! wooooo!

It's okay, SA were the same spot in the first test. Raval and Nichols now need to put on a couple of hundred....

[Gunner]

Lucky we have a great number 5 to come in and steady the ship.

Oh hang on, it's Nicholls. We're fucked, really fucked!

She'll be a 3 day test this one.

[mariner4life]

@Gunner no it won't. Boult isn't playing, so the saffas will bat for a day and half at least. Wait, that still leaves us a day and a half to bat twice. shit.
