Even though we've almost certainly got enough, I would bat on tomorrow and take the Jaaps completely out of the game - even mathematically - set them 600 in 5.5 sessions.
Need to ensure we remove that "never beaten them in a series" and giving their bowlers a bit more work will help a bit in test 2.
They are now. Declare 10 mins before start of play. Fucks with their head enough.
Almost certainly, but 88 runs per session will get them there and that is mathematically doable - so I would have crushed that by batting for an hour this morning.

....my plan wouldn't have Brand out yet, though!
First hour is going to be lethal for batting. Don't think the game will still be going by the time I can get back there.
Moore agrees with you, as well!

So Williamson either gets out for less than
1314 or scores a ton
Pedant Alert:
13 is not less than 13. -

Assuming this test ends badly for South Africa as it looks it will, and the 2nd test goes the same way
Something tells me this will be the last time they will take part in a series in NZ while their local T20 comp is going.
No way they will want to suffer this type of humiliation again. -

No way they will want to suffer this type of humiliation again.Yeah but remember they got hammered by an innings in the first test in 2022 only to come back and win the second.
That will surely be in the back of everyone’s mind much as it seems impossible to contemplate that happening again.

Indian and Pakistan fans on Social media having a field day going on about KW being a flat track bully with his two tons against a weak SA team.
Average of 67 at home with 18 hundreds. Ungodly stats.
But 13 hundreds away at 45 is still a damn site better than most. Even in this age of slightly inflated batting averages compared to previous eras an average over 40 is a class player.
Of course there’s no convincing those bone heads of that.

I guess they'll very much be Virat and Babar fans, rather than cricket fans.
He is not in that class, very good player but his numbers don’t add up. Kohli is much closer and obviously they have incredible ODI numbers ( so much of which is played on roads at home as if to deflate their own shitty arguements )

I love this photo so much. What a moment.

Kane Williamson 100% is the greatest batsmen NZ has produced.And to me stands as the No.1 test batsmen at the moment.I don't always agree with rankings but Kane at No.1 is exactly how it should be.
Kane has had to bat on seaming pitches here in NZ when we use to produce them, play in foreign conditions a lot more than other test batsmen as we play more tests away than at home atm. -
Its not like we have flat tracks over here, we are very seam and swing friendly. Plenty of very good bowlers from other teams have come over and wrecked havoc on our batsmen over the years, think CourtneyWalsh for the Windies in the early 90's. Took 13 wickets for fuck all in Wellington.
At their peak Wasim and Waqar fucked us over again and again anytime they visited.you want your flat tracks, go to Australia or India..
