NZ v SA Test Series

[Baron Silas Greenback]

@Gunner said in NZ v SA Test Series:

Quite a well balanced article about the Kuggeleijn selection in the Herald, written by Kris Shannon.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11825197

Disagree, that article has an underlying assumption that 'he got away' with something. The reference to the young girl who claimed she was raped is also dubious, court decided that she was not rape, her plight is not Kuggeliejns fault, it is mostly her own.

[Gunner]

@Baron-Silas-Greenback fair enough, but I didn't pick that up.

[Siam]

Appears like it'll be a test disrupted by weather.

While not as bleak as the Richard De Groen days, I hold a realistic no hope for a win here. No miracle performances this time, we're lacking too many of our best players to beat these South Africans.

Be nice to see a lot of fight and endeavour though

so looks like Kane lost the toss....SA elect to bat

Unreal!
I was so sure he was going to win this one I nearly bet the house on it.

[Gunner]

Henry nabs an early wicket, just to give us fans the usual glimmer of hope....

[Damo]

Might be a good toss to lose. Wicket looks very green to me and it's pretty humid here.

[Gunner]

CDG in on the false hope act too.
Elgar gooooone.

5/2, looking like a great toss to lose (although I'm sure Kane would have bowled anyway)

[Damo]

We should adopt the old Indian position and refuse to play with DRS.

[Donsteppa]

What are these morons doing with the DRS reviews? We've just reviewed a delivery for "LBW" that hit the bat and not the pad...

No wonder the Black Caps top order can't bat for a day if they see the ball that badly.

We're making them look like geniuses...

[Donsteppa]

And now there's a likely caught behind that the Blind Freddies can't review...

[Donsteppa]

Nice work CdG to clean bowl Amla.

... and a legal delivery just

[Mokey]

Considering the shit weather forecasted for the next wee while, They need to get in there fast with wickets. Humidity could make the ball do all sorts of weird shit. Trent...Trent...wish you were here...

Hamilton can make you do all sorts of weird shit.

HCC have been going about marketing all wrong. Not 'where it's happening' but 'where weird shit is happening'

[Donsteppa]

Go for the trifecta "Hamilton: where more weird shit than you'd expect is happening"

Inspirational choice of player! Grubby de Groen played in a winning test against South Africa IN South Africa . . .

@Donsteppa True that. Hamilton have had some truly fucked up tourist catchphrases. To think, someone came up with 'more than you expect' and a whole bunch of people went YEAH. THAT'S IT!! I still haven't been able to bleach my mind of the tv ad of the most cringeworthy nature, you remember the one with some douchebags walking along the wing of a grounded plane. A woman sang the song. Something about Hamilton is moving. (Maybe it was moooo-ving and cleverer than I thought.)
