Black Caps v South Africa

Fuck…..
Looked like he was going ok too. Genuinely gutted for Conway there.
That’s surely him gone for the Australia series. The only thing perhaps saving him is the lack of alternative. Young and Ravindra are both perhaps options given their “utility” value ?

So close for Conway. 40/1 is okay at stumps, but getting through unbeaten would have been a clear win for us, but now I think honours even for half session.
Exactly right. He played a couple of really nice shots too.
Cricket can be such a fluffybunny of a game.

I think it comes down to what Young does in this innings. (Hopefully we won't need him). A good score probably noses him in front of Conway, while a failure (especially if it's a bad mental error like the first one) probably enough Conway.
Actually, this is Stead we're talking about. Conway's safe until the next home summer.

I really doubt it, but we should get a very clear indication tomorrow morning - because we can easily give Young or Blundell a chance at "opening" tomorrow morning.
If Little Kane strolls out to face the first ball then surely Devon will open vs Oz.
So disappointing for him (and us). We'd pretty much wrested things back to advantage us.
We should still get these, but it's that bit more iffy.

Far too edgy and innovative for Stead.
He’s the Ian Foster of cricket coaches

I’ve literally just spoken to a guy at work and apparently Conway is trying to bat through a very traumatic personal grief that him and his wife have recently gone through. If that’s the case he should be on forced rest, he’s clearly not in the right head space even though he’s trying to tough it out.

If true that sucks. Not sure I believe in a forced rest though. I think he should be able to decide what's best for him.

@Crazy-Horse yeah true, but I guess with that going on outside his job it would be bloody hard to get your head fully in the game.

Von Berg just a local saffer walking past Seddon Park during warm-up?
Can you just save your comments for when Australia are here ?
Cheers.
Nah. Every Aussie thread ends up a Kiwi thread. I'm taking this one back.
You're struggling to put away South Africa C. No doubt you plucky little bastards will stand up when the main event arrives of course.
