NZ v SA Test Series

[Cyclops]

When was the last time a black cap scored two centuries in a series? Baz did it against the Indians with a double and a triple, Kane must have done in before as well?

[MN5]

Fuck you Black Caps. You play this well in a test that has very little chance of a result.

[Crazy Horse]

I love the way the commentators are talking about us batting once and getting a decent lead. Um, it's the Black Caps, a collapse is never far away.

Congrats Kane. It's a fucking pleasure watching you.

Latham and Rossco both did it against Zimbabwe, I think.

Anyone know much about Kane's twin brother? Did he play? Was he talented and not have the desire, or did Kane have the mortgage on sporting ability?

Never knew he had one. Is it too late for him to become the Mark to Kanes Steve?

Bugger, Jeets (the other on) goes on 88

[mariner4life]

great knock son, well done! I'm gutted you didn't get a hundred for your personal record, but that was fucking great for your team.

[Virgil]

[Gunner]

Here is the almost inevitable collapse... 😞

No, no, no. They only ever play well for a short period and will still manage to lose from a position of strength. I realise that you know that, but it is silly to suggest that they won't lose this.

Philander bowls Santner with a beauty, but it was a no ball. LOL

[Snowy]

@mimic Philander has been over stepping a bit. They are now watching for it.

Great delivery if it was fair.

[Virgil]

We are in front
Only 4 down
And Kane is still there.. happily take that any day of the week

Fully deserved after his 4 year old behaviour earlier

[Chris B.]

@Virgil Yeah - I was thinking Boonie should get down to the SA dressing room at tea and issue a "Grow up, son".

Unfortunately for Jeet, he got almost completely becalmed.

He got to 75 after 200 balls. He scored 5 off Elgar's rubbish over. Hit Rabada for a four and otherwise scored four runs off 50 balls to conclude his innings.

Kane will need to go a fair way further, I think, for us to reach a position of strength. Ideally, we'd aim to bat till tea, tomorrow - but, I can't see that happening now that Broom and Nicholls have gone cheaply.

[MN5]

There was an article on Stuff saying Steve Smith might be the best since Bradman. 20 test tons at 60 at a young age sure is impressive but is he THAT good ? ( Nice to see our boy nudge his average over 51
....)

@SammyC

Hmm I'm sure we had our top 3 all make centuries once (rigor, Lou Vincent and Fleming I think).

Right you are Rigor, Vincent and Styris India 2003

14 years os a long time between drinks.

I'd imagine this would be a regular occurrence for teams like Australia, India, SA?

Did Styris bat at 3? I always think of him as a No.5

[Gunner]

Only 30 odd runs added this morning so far in 100 minutes.

I don't understand the tactics, do they want to win the game or not?

Should be attacking, getting as big a lead as quickly as possible and bowl at them again.
