NZ v SA Test Series

Neil!
Very happy they dropped Southee, not sure why @MN5 isnt surprised by this move.

[Hooroo]

@Virgil and isn't Patel bowling poorly! 7 Overs at 0.42 runs per over!

Creating that little thing in test cricket

PRESSURE!

[Hooroo]

VAGNAR!!!!!

Now with Duminy in same over

[mariner4life]

chew for twenty chew!!

And Wagner got a wicket with a ball pitched in the batsman's half, well I never...

wait, it's 3! jesus h christ.

[Virgil]

Clearly should have picked Southee and dropped a Wagner..

I know, he may even get a wicket too.

Having not seen the pitch, I doubt I would have gone for the two spinners in Dunedin. It was an interesting selection but one that seems to be paying off to this point.

[Cyclops]

Cricinfo have Ross Taylor standing at second slip for the Duminy dismissal, is that an error? If not whose our new first slip and why?

[Hooroo]

@hydro11 Who would have thunk that they may know better?

Just flicked on. The pitch is very motley in colour, Jeets seems to be harnessing significant assistance from it

[Chris B.]

@Cyclops I think Rossco is at first slip.

[taniwharugby]

@Hooroo apparently Patel had a 7 wicket haul on the ground very recently, so that may have been a factor....

[MajorRage]

Is it too early to start talking about Michelle?

[Virgil]

Patel over bowled by a couple overs.
Still a great morning session for the Craps

[mariner4life]

okay, i've been very distracted by the Off Topic section, and all the walking, but the saffas are rebuilding well.

Positive for us is we seem to be keeping the pressure on, the run rate is very low, just need to find a way to turn it in to a wicket

[Virgil]

Fuck I forgot the cricket was still on, looks like we bombed a few chances during this middle session

[Hooroo]

Elgar is putting together the perfect test hundred. Complete patience for a long period of time. Has got the feel for the wicket and the bowlers and is now destroying them

[MajorRage]

Yep, we need a wicket in the next 5 overs otherwise, the pressure release valve has been activated. Scoring freely now.
