Black Caps v Pakistan

[MN5]

Woohoo test cricket day ! When is the team named ? Assuming Henry for Wags ( sniff ) will be the only change?

Santner got those crucial wickets when Pakistan looked a chance of grinding to a draw so I’m happy for him to have another go if there’s a chance he’ll do the same even if he’s still an inadequate test cricketer all things considered.

After a good few days away in the bay being social and merry it’s high time I self isolate and catch as much of this as possible.

Thursday is still the best part of four days away.

Take your lame gags away and save them for Rugby season

Santner not in. Johns son is instead.

That's about the worst review I have ever seen.

Can only guess that he thought maybe he hit it.

Crashing into middle about a third of the way up.

[booboo]

That has got to be the worst review I've ever seen.

Missing off and missing leg. Did he think it was going under?

@Damo snap

Haha yeah. The commentators are too nice, describing it as "questionable".

Southee with an early wicket.

Doull on the radio saying Southee should give the short forms away as his test bowling had improved so much lately. 99 wickets in his last 20 tests !!! For point of reference our boy Bond got 87 in 18.

Shane Watson will be trying to get a call up for Pakistan after that review.

Radio said it could not have possibly been more plumb.

Shot Timmy.

So the decision to bowl first....

Another wicket before lunch justifies it.

Otherwise about even.

Weird shot.

He looked all at sea.

The old famous reverse jinx!

Jamieson just keeps taking wickets.

You'd think his bowling average below 15 is unsustainable, but no signs of that yet.

Fleming is a bloody good commentator.

I remember Vernon Philander started in a similar way but then it ‘ballooned’ to a Hadlee like 22 or so.

Fuck I love this Black Caps team even if we always seem to have to carry a passenger at seven and Toms opening partner is far from settled.
