NZ v SA Test Series
-
-
Pretty dismal effort in the second innings, with only Raval and BJ coming out with much credit.
We've really been pasted here. Maharaj has eight wickets for the match and Duminy four.
Given the South Africans' supposed vulnerability to spin, that's not a good look.

Jeets took a wicket. If that's not vulnerable I don't know what is.

@KiwiMurph We've always had injured pace bowlers so nothing has really changed this season. Aust are having the same problems (e.g. Starc) - too many games.
Boult is no certainty to play so it could be Wagner and Henry as the frontline bowlers.
de Kock is also in doubt for SA and he would be a huge loss.

@Bovidae Do some questions need to be asked of the Strength and Conditioning work of the Black Caps? Seems like an awful high number of injuries this summer? Perhaps just an outlier.
A while back under Bond we had Boult and Southee fit and firing for an extended period of time and bowling in the 140s. I remember an interview with Boult where he talked about the extensive strength conditioning they were doing which was paying dividends.
No idea if we've changed anything but there's been a run of injuries of late, and both bowlers have been down on pace.
-
I think Chris Donaldson is still doing fitness work with the team. Reckon it was his influence alongside Bond - they seemed to get some really good results with Southee and Boult,

Confirmation that Boult is also out of the 3rd test. Scott Kuggeleijn has been named as injury cover.
Guess they better beef up security at the ground then
In accounting all the woman protestors who will likely be showing up to remind us rape culture is frowned upon -

Good ole NZ Ferald -
