Boult went for around 8s didn't he. May as well just retire them both from professional cricket really...
The difference being Trent Boult is 22 years old with a lot of potential and performed well in every innings he bowled apart from the first innings of the first test. He didn't walk into the test match as a 33 year old with 9 wickets @ 59.

I guess you ignored all of that ay?

Nope I'm just taking the piss out of someone who says someone is a horrible selection based on 4 overs because they went for 6.5 apiece. Get a grip. If you don't rate someone fine, but don't say they were a horrible selection based on a run-rate from 4 overs.

Got to pick up another wicket before lunch. If not, can easily see these two putting on a big partnership. While I can't watch to see for myself, by the sounds of it the pitch is flat and the wickets are only falling due to good bowling/poor batting, and it's only going to get easier in the afternoon.

ironic cheer from someone in the crowd after Arnel managed to bowl one wide enough outside off to be left alone.

Who said that was the only reason I thought it was a horrible selection? That was your flawed assumption which makes you think you can go around posting vile, sarcastic remarks to get a reaction. I'm quite fine with my opinion of rating Trent Boult the better bowler of the two.

The psychological damage NZ's first innings effort will mean even if SA are bowled out under NZ's score, they will still take this match in a canter.

Can't see Kallis, Amla failing twice on this pitch.

Good timing with the lunch break for NZ, those two could really take the game away from us.

Yeah, hopefully Gillespie comes back from the break nice and fresh so he can break this important partnership. Philander looked competent with the bat as well so there's still a lot of work to do if we want to have a lead or only a small amount to catch up.

Looks like a nice day in Hamilton.
